Forest oak Farm

Nestled on the outskirts of Lydney in a beautiful picturesque valley, this is a holiday destination that offers a selection of accommodation styles, plus a fully equip, designated camping and caravan area.

We believe having space is a right not a luxury. So you will find all the accommodation areas, including the camping pitches, are designed to create 'a little world of your own' amongst friends and like minded people.

We offer a holiday experience where you can get in touch with nature. Our camping field is situated next to a lake where you can relax, have a picnic or barbeque. We are centrally based so you can easily enjoy all that The Forest of Dean and The Wye Valley have to offer.

If you are looking for an all inclusive, prim holiday park with straight lines and all the bells and whistles - this site is not for you. It's ideal for nature lovers, groups of friends and couples who wish to stay where there is no noisy bar, play areas and club. We are a small friendly site for those looking for a quiet, welcoming site which is ideal for dog lovers, with two fenced dog exercise areas and wooded walks around the perimeter. We have an open field beside the camping area for games, dog walking and picnics.

We have a limited number of meterred electric hook ups available, so you only pay for what you use.

On site Facilities - Pitches for Tourers/Motorhomes/Tents (more for events), Meterred Electric Hookups, 3 Holiday cottages, Toilets and Showers, Chemical Disposal Point, Washing up Room, Laundrette, dog washing, acres of green field, woodland and a lakeside retreat.
