About The Field Campsite
Tucked on the western fringe of the Forest of Dean near Coleford, this pop-up field site puts ancient woodlands, cycle trails and sculpture walks right on your doorstep. The grass pitches are simple and scenic – surrounded by rolling fields that often catch spectacular sunsets – while facilities punch above their weight for a seasonal site: clean showers and toilets, washing-up stations, ice pack freezing and firepits available to hire (wood must be purchased on site). Campers praise the friendly welcome, spotless loos and excellent value for money.
Cannop is 35 minutes' walk away, the Forest of Dean Cycle Centre 50 minutes, and local towns are easily reached on two wheels or four. Dogs are welcome year-round (on leads, please), as are barbecues and campfires. A 15-minute stroll brings you into Coleford for provisions – perfect for sunset suppers back at your pitch. The site can feel refreshingly low-key, though that's precisely the appeal for those seeking a wild camping escape without frills.

Best campsite I’ve visited. Run by an amazing family. Beautiful place to stay. Welcomed very kindly by the family, taken care of very well. Campsite is clean with fresh drinking water toilets and showers available 24/7. Will be staying here again soon. Would highly recommend.

What a lovely campsite. Excellent facilities with good showers and toilets and a small onsite shop for snacks and drinks. The owners are lovely, friendly and helpful people . The site is on open field land but in the heart of a beautiful area of the country with a short drive to the stunning Wye river area. And the price was excellent for a bank holiday weekend too. Loved it - I'll be back
