Forest of Dean Road Trip
With miles of winding woodland tracks, dramatic river valleys, and endless scents for your dog to track, the Forest of Dean is built for van life adventures. Rolling up in your motorhome gives you the ultimate freedom to explore at your own pace alongside your four-legged companion.
Pub Parking & Overnight Stays
Why hunt for generic campsites when you can park up outside a historic forest inn? Many of our featured dog-friendly pubs in the region offer overnight parking spots (Aires) for self-contained motorhomes. All they ask is that you pop inside to try their local ales and treat your pup to a spot by the open fire.
Forest Campsites & Facilities
If you prefer a few more home comforts like hot showers and electric hookups, the Forest of Dean boasts fantastic dedicated campsites nestled deep within the tree canopy. Many of these sites cater directly to dog owners, offering outdoor dog-wash stations to clean muddy paws after a long hike.
Responsible Van Life & Wildlife
The Forest of Dean is famous for its free-roaming wildlife, including wild boars and roaming sheep. When exploring in your camper, it’s vital to leave no trace, protect the delicate ecosystem, and keep your dogs under close control. Staying on designated tracks keeps both the local wildlife and your pup safe.
