A warm welcome on arrival and a pleasant walk through the camping field put campers at ease as soon as they rumble through the entrance at Forest Gate. This well-organized site rests close to the A40, between Gloucester and Ross on Wye, and welcomes guests to set up camp on a beautifully-maintained Victorian rectory. Let the friendly owner point out the merits of each pitch before you decide and plonk down on a grassy plot enveloped by mature trees, looking out over the lush rolling landscape. The plots are well-serviced with electric meters to all pitches, regular water taps, and full recycling amenities, generally not found in larger, more commercial parks. Make Forest Gate your base for exploring the Forest of Dean, or sit back and watch the world go by with your tipple of choice in hand. Dogs are welcome.
