Why stay here ...
We are a family run CL that is family and dog friendly (dogs by prior arrangement only) in Newland, a small village on the edge of the Forest of Dean which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Newland village boasts an award winning pub ’The Ostrich Inn’ just a 2 minute walk from the site which is adjacent to the bus stop and All Siants Church traditionally known as the Cathedral of the Forest.
Our caravanning field has generous pitches cut between the wildflower meadow grass offering privacy and tranquility, we also have a hard standing area available on the yard if the weather an issue. We have a path cut around the wildflower field which is great for walking dogs on site and we also have a cut picnic/play area at the end of the field. The Valley Brook runs right through the field and you will quite often see the nesting and visiting ducks and Canadian geese that we feel privileged to have visit us. We value and want to encourage the wildlife here at Brookside so any well behaved visiting dogs on site must be kept on a lead at all times.
We are conveniently situated 2 miles from Coleford, 3.7 miles from the historic market town of Monmouth and 9 miles from Ross on Wye all of which are rich in history, have amazing coffee shops and restaurants, many boutique shops and various supermarkets. There is plenty to do for those that want to stay local and explore the many activities the area has to offer.
For those that want to walk or cycle there are tracks and paths directly from the site into the forest where you might encounter some of the local wildlife from ducks to deer and wild boar.
For those that want to travel further afield by car there are many activities to consider:
- Cannop Cycle Centre
- Numerous Golf Clubs
- Puzzlewood
- Clearwell Caves
- Fly Fishing
- Dean Heritage Centre
- Lydney Harbour
- Hopewell Colliery
- Symonds Yat Rock
- Tintern Abbey
- Goodrich Castle
- Kayaking along the River Wye
- Go Ape……to mention a few

We look forward to welcoming you here at Brookside.

Set on the edge of the pretty village of Newland, this site is a little gem and one we would happily come back to again. The meadow is a lovely location to park up and enjoy the view. The pitches are well spaced and we parked up on pitch 1 without... Show more

Overnight stay
Rachel communicated excellently and made us feel very welcome. The road noise was evident but slept very peacefully so assume less traffic through night. The electric is extra on a card and Rachel provided this. The village is beautiful but no shop - just a pub - a gorgeous pub - easily... Show more

Lovely CL in a very nice spot
We visited for a week May 2023. Access: we approached from Monmouth and the last 2.4 miles off the A466 is on minor roads, but easily passable with care especially through Newland village. The site is accessed through a gate of a large yard, with plenty of room to get... Show more
