As in the rest of England, wild camping is not legal here without the landowner's express permission, so stick to licensed campsites and glamping pitches, of which the surrounding hills and the fringes of the Forest of Dean have a good spread, from simple grass pitches to more sheltered woodland spots. The terrain is steep in places - this is a limestone gorge, not flat farmland - so it is worth checking access and pitch gradient before booking, particularly for larger tents, campervans or anyone towing a caravan. Late spring through early autumn is the most comfortable window for camping here, when the ground has dried out after winter and the long evenings suit sitting out with a view over the trees. Midsummer brings the best chance of dry, settled weather for canoeing and riverside walks, while September and early October often deliver crisp, clear days and the added bonus of the woodland turning gold, without the peak-season crowds at the main viewpoints. Winter camping is possible but conditions can turn wet and the steep, wooded paths around the gorge become slippery, so it suits only well-prepared campers. For those who would rather skip the tent-pitching but still want to sleep among the trees, glamping has taken hold around Symonds Yat in recent years, with safari tents, shepherd's huts and pods offering a warmer, more sheltered alternative. Many sit on farms and smallholdings just outside the village, trading a short drive to the river gorge for wider views over the Wye Valley or the Forest of Dean, and most provide proper beds, heating and sometimes a wood-fired hot tub - a comfortable way to enjoy the area's scenery and wildlife without roughing it.
