Whitemead Forest Park

We were blessed with the best weather and we were very happy with the facilities. Great clean site and the kids loved it!

Pool & cleanliness of site

Lovely peaceful site set in the Forest of Dean. We had a hard standing pitch on 'The Meadow' (great level pitch) with a view over the field so it was great for the children to play and we could still see them. The indoor pool was really good and wasn't overly busy considering we stayed in the 6 week holidays. Good range of activities for the children to do online (we booked these during our stay but you can book them in advance). The toilet/shower facilities were good and they had 2 blocks at either end of the site, meaning toilet/shower facilities were always available while one block was being cleaned. There was a family bathroom and a laundry room.
There is a cycle hire place within walking distance and some great cycle tracks.
There is a small shop online but Tesco is only 3 miles away.
The restaurant/bar area was nice and had a great outdoor seating area. There was evening entertainment on each night in The Venue, but we didn't use this.
Great site for dogs, there was a small enclosed exercise area on site.

Really enjoyed our stay for 3 nights, weather was sunny which was a bonus. Kids loved the entertainment at night, using the swimming pool and other activities that are available to do but some do cost you extra. The waffles were amazing and the food on the menu was a reasonable price and a good variety to choose from. Will be going back next year and thinking about staying in the xl glamming pod and staying for longer as we weren’t able to everything we wanted to in the 4 days due to not being able to pitch up until 2pm and then having to pack up by 11am so u only really get 2 full days there. Dog friendly and good nature trail to follow. would recommend to family and friends who have children.

The area was superb. Plenty of things to do and for the little one

The checking in was stressful and disappointing. As it was our first time visiting we found the kiosk was closed upon arrival. All the numbers we tried were unavailable and no phone network. There was no information of where else to check in from to find our pitch number. So we had to drive back out to stop for signal. This was a hassle when towing a caravan. We nearly decided to go back home. Until we decided to try one more time to find someone.
There was no closing times we were made aware as we arrived just gone 7pm. There was no notice of where to check in for people like us who were first timers.
However when we wondered around the entertainment entrance a lovely lady approached us as we looked lost and gave us our information and pitch number.
Perhaps make note on emails for the late arrivals or information at the kiosk where to go for us first timers.

The whole site feels safe and secure. It’s a beautiful location. The facilities are brilliant. The kids loved the pool. Forest walks are brilliant too. I wish I had taken the bikes and scooters for the kids to enjoy as literally zero cars going past our camp and felt very safe. We booked 3 nights, absolutely loved every minute and are booking to stay for longer next year. A fantastic find, family friendly. Dog friendly. Forest walks right next to camp that surrounds the whole site. Relaxed feel to place. Highly recommend staying there if you love camping.

Nothing.
