About Forest Gate
Forest Gate sits on the edge of Gloucestershire countryside within reach of the Forest of Dean. The site offers camping pitches with access to showers, making it a straightforward base for exploring the area.
The immediate surroundings are rural and working; the campground is practical rather than picturesque, with local amenities within a short walk. It suits campers looking for an affordable, no-frills stop rather than those seeking a destination site in its own right.

I am a regular camper,and have been doing this for years. This is my first time at forest gate campsite. On arrival I found the owners to be very pleasent and very Helpfull. The Grounds are Beautiful and very well kept,there are some beautiful trees here and lovely gardens. The toilet block is kept well maintained, with everything you need. The toilets are kept very clean. The shower was very nice with plenty of Hot water,Not warm,but nice and hot. I have seen many Helicopter,s fly over. Yesterday I saw a Chinnook fly over just above the tree line. You could see the pilots. I love Helicopter,s. This made my day. There is a pub 5 minute walk from the site and a garage and shop. Even a fresh butchers for fresh meat. I came here for a few days break from city life. I found plenty of local walks.May Hill not far,and may I say stunning. This campsite I would Recommend to everyone. Good for family's and you can even bring your dog. I would come here Again every year. I grew up in Ross on wye,so no the the scrounging well. I would give this campsite 10 out of 10. I Highly recommend this site. I would say I have found a gem in the forest,and that is this campsite.

What a beautiful little sight and great for sun! We were greeted warmly by Maureen on arrival, who let us chose where we wanted to put the campervan. She gave us leaflets for things to do in the area. It was a really, quiet retreat experience and we slept like logs - until 9am, which is unheard of! If you have young children, there's some outside play equipment too. It's easy access to the Forest of Dean, but also there were walks which started from the nearby Leaf Creative garden centre and cafe - this venue is beautiful, inside and out - check out the website before you go as there are things that can be pre-booked, like yoga and brunch. We did a lovely walk from here. Also, there is a pub across the road and down a bit - a few minutes walk. We weren't aware of traffic sounds and sat out in the evening.

Been coming here for many years. Not so much a regular campsite but more a beautiful garden that allows a very limited number of campers. There are showers and toilets. Beautiful views. Local Services (great butcher). Takes Motorhomes, Caravans, Campervans. Friendly Owner. Oliver Cromwell stayed here and so the building is listed, it is an old Rectory. We'll be back again.
