Secluded woodland pitches above Symonds Yat, minutes from the gorge
About Doward Park Camp Site
Doward Park sits in a peaceful, wooded pocket of the Great Doward, above Symonds Yat West and close to the gorge's main viewpoints and walking trails. It is a small, family-run site rather than a large touring park, and that scale shows in the personal welcome and the care taken over the pitches, which range from simple grass tent pitches to hard standing with electric hook-up.
As well as traditional camping, the site offers roof-tent pitches, a handful of glamping bell tents and space for campervans and motorhomes, making it a workable option whether you are arriving with a full trailer tent or a single rucksack. An on-site shop and café serves locally roasted coffee alongside basics, useful given the site's slightly out-of-the-way woodland setting, and there is a small adventure playground for younger children.
The location is the main draw: Symonds Yat Rock, the gorge footpaths and the Biblins suspension bridge are all within comfortable walking or cycling distance, and the site's own trails connect directly into the surrounding woodland, which is popular with mountain bikers as well as walkers. Dogs are welcome throughout.
