Review for Gosford Forest Park submitted on 8th June 2022 by M Campbell
We absolutely loved our trip to Gosford in May. Gosford Forest Park has so much to keep you busy, lovely walks and great play parks for the kiddies. The campsite is so spacious, great pitches with lots of space for car and awning also. We would highly recommend Gosford and have already booked our return trip.

This was our 1st time @ Gosford & it definitely wont be our last! WHAT SCENERY!! The forest is truly amazing, the different tree species are something else, I have never seen as tall or as twisted trees that were so beautiful. As for the absolutely stunning castle, well its magnificent! The walks are well laid out & there was plenty to see as we walked through it and we walked for over 2hrs & still only seen part of it!! Although some of the new children parks aren't open yet, they look amazing & really well designed. I know my grandkids would just love them. There is definitely plenty to do here for adults & kids, the biking trails looked thrilling!! Facilities on site are excellent & the place is really kept to a high standard. I will definitely be back to stay & explore in Gosford again!!

Has such an amazing time away at Gosford with my husband Mark and friends Chris and Stephanie Jones. First time away since covid and it was worth it. Such a friendly, chilled atmosphere. So well organised and planned. So looking forward to the next one.

Fab site, safe with big pitches and toilet and showers were spotless. Great walks and cycle routes. Parks for kiddies. Lots of open spaces. Onsite, coffee, ice cream and burger van. Short walk into market hill village.
Rangers drove round regularly and were always polite, staff friendly. Gates locked at nine so felt very safe .
Could easily spend a week here - highly recommend it for all age groups. Must remember to mention CNI next time to get discount 😫

Review for Gosford Forest Park, Markethill submitted by I Paden on 26th July 2020
We had a great week at Gosford, plenty to do a really good value for money. The tent site was slightly uneven and hard to peg out in some spots but close to the toilet block and did not become swamped after 2 days of rain. Toilets and showers have been updated this year and are very clean and well laid out, our only concern was that there was no mirrors in any of the toilet or shower areas (I wear contact lenses so had to adapt by using the car wing mirror 😁).
The facilities within the forest park are great, new mountain bike trails (beginner level and intermediate as well as some skills loops and trails for the more adventurous). The children's play park is a good size and only a small dander from the caravan park with the bonus of ice cream and coffee vans located beside it (which both take card payments) hard to beat a flat white whilst the kids burn off some steam. There are also plenty of walking trails and a 5km running trail marked out.
The kids where fascinated by the herd or deer near the site, the spent loads of time watching them. Overall great site from a tenting point of view, there is an option of EHU for tents but are hard core and go with out 😬. Booked in for another week at end of August

Went for a long weekend with another family at Easter. Spent alot of time walking throught the wonderful paths and mountain biking down through the latest tracks. The park is brilliant for all ages of kids. The facilities are clean and warm and the site itself is tidy and the staff are very helpful and friendly
