Free camping in Forest of Dean

There’s a fair number of decent sized Forestry Commission car parks in the Forest of Dean. Some of the bigger ones have the gates closed at 7.30pm, if you don’t mind being locked in for the night. There is a small charge (the general car park fee). There are a lot of picnic areas but most of them are locked at 7.30 pm. There are also some places on the Cinderford to Coleford road.

Free camping in Tewkesbury

Follow A38 through Tewkesbury towards Gloucester, pass Abbey on the left and then coach park on right, as the road bends to the left there is small lane on right signed "Lower Load." Follow this lane for half mile down to River Severn. There is as small picnic area and old ferry here. The road stops here so exit is back the way you drove in, no houses very quiet at night.
