About Glen Trothy Caravan Park
Glen Trothy Caravan Park occupies a riverside spot on the River Trothy near Mitchel Troy, a few miles south-west of Monmouth, in a lush, sheltered valley setting close to both the Forest of Dean and the wider Wye Valley. It is a small, quiet touring park rather than a large-scale holiday centre, with a limited number of pitches for tents, touring caravans and motorhomes set out along the riverbank.
The park's appeal lies in its position and its size: pitches back onto the river in places, the surrounding countryside is genuinely rural, and the short drive into Monmouth makes it easy to combine a peaceful base with the town's shops, market and restaurants. Facilities are geared toward touring visitors, with electric hookup available on most pitches, shower and toilet blocks on site, and a straightforward, no-frills approach that suits self-sufficient campers over those wanting extensive amenities.
Dogs are welcome, and the site's small scale means it stays quieter than the larger campsites over the border, making it a good choice for couples and families wanting easy access to Monmouth and the Wye Valley without the scale of the Forest of Dean sites. Its limited pitch numbers mean it can fill up during peak summer weeks, so contacting the site directly ahead of a visit is worthwhile.
