What are the best campsites in the Forest of Dean area?

Camping is the perfect partner to the outdoor activities that The Forest of Dean is famous for. If you’re hoping for an active, outdoor holiday, bring bikes, walking boots or kayaks along with the tent and check out some of the top places for outdoor exploration. If you haven’t got the bike or roof rack to bring your own gear though there are plenty of places to hire equipment and even join in with organised outdoor pursuits. Cannop Cycle Centre is one of them. If you want to explore on two wheels, take advantage of its bike hire, café and trails for all levels from family friendly to challenging mountain biking routes. If you prefer exploring on your own feet, grab an OS Map and make up your own route or follow one of the walking trails from the Forestry Commission’s centres. For longer distance hiking, how about joining a section of Gloucestershire Way or Offa’s Dyke Path? You can also explore different options for camping near Forest of Dean on Hipcamp.
