Caravan parks in Forest of Dean

·

Pitch up your caravan in the Forest of Dean—over 1,000 sites welcome caravan travellers here, so you’ll find plenty of space to settle in. Sites range from riverside clearings right up to the edge of ancient woodland. Expect practical facilities like water and electricity hook-ups, and most sites can handle big rigs without a fuss. Wildlife-watching, hiking, and a swim in clear streams top the list of local activities. Nightly rates average £23, but you’ll spot options as low as £7 if you book ahead. For reliable spots, locals rate Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite (185 reviews), Pwllyn Farm Camping (117 reviews), and Abbey Home Farm (100 reviews). Bring a torch, sort your own rubbish, and keep an eye out for deer at dusk. The Forest of Dean’s caravan scene is all about clean air, strong brews, and a solid night’s sleep under the trees.

Weston Super Mare, England · 3 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Tucked away on a quiet Somerset lane at the foot of the Mendip Hills, The Hemingway's Field is a fully private, fully fenced paddock available for exclusive hire — meaning the whole space is yours and yours alone. Wake up to birdsong with Bleadon Hill as your backdrop. Take the dogs straight out from the gate, the field is completely enclosed and secure. Watch the stars from a Somerset sky with almost no light pollution. Then head out in the morning to the beach at Weston-super-Mare (4 miles), up to Crook Peak for a ridge walk (3 miles), through Cheddar Gorge, or along the traffic-free Strawberry Line trail. Easy access for large caravans and vehicles. The gate has fit 7m caravans through it, but we have kept it at 6.5m (as it was a slight squeeze). Happy to talk about removing the gate for bigger vehicles. Water is available on site via a hosepipe. Please note that there are no toilet facilities, so guests need to be self-contained. This is a back-to-basics outdoor experience with one important luxury: privacy. No shared facilities. No campsite neighbours. No noise. Just your family or your group and five acres of quiet Somerset countryside. The field sits alongside two neighbouring paddocks occasionally used by local farmers, you may spot a friendly face or two, and sometimes a horse or two as well. If any animals are in residence during your stay, we'll give you a heads-up in advance. Guests are also welcome to explore our acre of woodland, which connects to the top paddocks, a lovely spot for an early morning wander and some cool exploring. Please also note: Grass is cut and grazed frequently; the photos here are after a while without, so the condition will be much better when the field is booked out.

Monmouth, Wales · 10 units · Tents, Motorhomes
If you’re lucky, you’ll catch at least one of the breathtaking sunsets at Red Sky at Night Campsite near Monmouth. If not, there’s always a stunning view of rolling hills all around. At night, the skies become a dazzling canvas of stars under one of Wales' official Dark Sky Reserves. This family-run camping field on our laid-back livestock farm is full of rustic charm. Pitch wherever feels right—tent or camper van. Dogs welcome but must always be kept on a lead and cleaned up after (dog waste bin on site, otherwise we are a leave no trace site and you should take your rubbish home with you). This year, we’re introducing the “Missing Camper Trail” hidden in the woodland—can you find Colin? You’ll also find a new zip line and a slackline for adventurers big and small. Mud Café and den building are still here, along with teddy bears scattered through the woods—no official trail, just hidden friends to find. Also new this season - a handcrafted washing-up area built by Farmer Ben from wood right off our farm. Coming soon: We’re hoping for showers this season, but we’ll update when they’re up and running. Wild camping here means no electricity—just two lovely compost loos and a covered cold-water tap. So bring your guitar, light a fire, and soak up the simplicity... The way camping was intended.
