I am a regular camper,and have been doing this for years. This is my first time at forest gate campsite. On arrival I found the owners to be very pleasent and very Helpfull. The Grounds are Beautiful and very well kept,there are some beautiful trees here and lovely gardens. The toilet block is kept well maintained, with everything you need. The toilets are kept very clean. The shower was very nice with plenty of Hot water,Not warm,but nice and hot. I have seen many Helicopter,s fly over. Yesterday I saw a Chinnook fly over just above the tree line. You could see the pilots. I love Helicopter,s. This made my day. There is a pub 5 minute walk from the site and a garage and shop. Even a fresh butchers for fresh meat. I came here for a few days break from city life. I found plenty of local walks.May Hill not far,and may I say stunning. This campsite I would Recommend to everyone. Good for family's and you can even bring your dog. I would come here Again every year. I grew up in Ross on wye,so no the the scrounging well. I would give this campsite 10 out of 10. I Highly recommend this site. I would say I have found a gem in the forest,and that is this campsite.
