All staff here were very helpful and friendly. If you want a place to stay if you have children, or just as a couple, then I will highly recommend Whitemead. The facilities were great, as was the food, oh and the alcohol too. The walks around the Forest of Dean were excellent and the views amazing.
Very welcoming, clean and peaceful

Beautiful campsite, very clean and tidy facilities. Warm pool, which both my teenage and toddler children enjoyed. Food tasted delicious, with variety of gf and vegan options. Peaceful, no noise and staff very welcoming & friendly.

Was our first time stopping at the park, and found it an excellent site. Camping pitches were well spaced and didn't feel cramped. Facilities on the site were far better than expected. Went for a lovely long walk round the surrounding forest. Will definitely be coming back!

This is the best site we've stayed at so far in our vw campervan. The pitches were clean and spacious. We had a hardstanding pitch and our strong tent pegs for the awing went straight in and was still comfortable underfoot. The on site facilities and staff were perfect. Free hair dryers in the shower block. Lots of room at the washing up stations. Swimming pool and jacuzzi onsite were spotlessly clean and the swimming pool is full size. There's also a steam room and gym. The bar and restaurant were perfect. Plenty of delicious snacks to choose from. There's a shop with all of the usual bits. I cannot speak highly enough of this place! Plenty of hikes to do from the site in any direction. The Dean railway station is right outside as well as a bike hire shop if you fancy trying out any of the many local trails. We will definitely be returning. If you are looking for a luxury camping break, look no further!

Had a lovely long weekend break with family and friends. Site is in a beautiful location with lots of walks suitable for young children. The facilities on site are great and kept everyone entertained. Was a bit sceptical about pitching up on gravel but was fine and less bugs around than on a grass pitch. Would return. .
Great

We stayed on meadow camp site which we couldn't fault really enjoyed our stay, there is one but! I nooked this site so we could use the gym but it's not much of a gym, running machines and cross country machines and a couple of dumbells and that's it. Fog walk was awesome.

We had a lovely stay. The park is in a great location and the facilities were just what we were after. It was peaceful and quiet when we wanted it. Had nice walks and lovely pods. At night, there was entertainment and a lively bar when we wanted it too. Nice local pubs within walking distance. The food onsite was good and large portions. The pool and spa facilities were good. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. We had no change for the locker, so were loaned a £1 coin. We had no phone charger and this was also loaned.
Great apart from Wi-Fi

Good site with great facilities for kids with a swimming pool and outdoor play, however there was scope for improvement. We found that the Wi-Fi signal was non-existent (when connected it didn't work and dropped out), and the phone signal was limited on Three and EE. This made it very difficult to do anything that required a phone or internet. This was super disappointing given we had hoped it would be great, to allow daytime play and evening work. The facilities weren't clean in the morning after the night before. I thought they offered a kids club - one of the reasons for booking, but there was no kids club and all kids activities required a parent to attend. We will return, but I hope they resolve these issues.

Huge pitches and loads of space between caravans. Fabulous swimming pool. Direct access into the forest which is superb for dog walking, or even walking without a dog. Access into and out of the site is easy. Will definitely be returning.

This was our first time staying at Whitemead. We had a lovely time and will definitely be returning. The place was clean, with plenty to do there. Swimming pool, restaurant/bar, entertainment (including bingo). Showers are nice and hot as well. We had an electric pitch, for 2 adults, 1 child aged 9 and our small dog. The only downside was how muddy it was getting in and out of the tent. We knew this would be expected with having bad weather on the first day, but it was literally like a puddle, we couldn't really put our chairs up outside the tent because it was too bad. Could maybe do with some gravel or something to help, but other than that we had a great time.
Brilliant stay

This was our first time at Whitemead. The site is excellent despite being enormous. It has lots of open spaces and must be wonderful for children during the summer months. The facilities such as pool, restaurant, bar and shop were superb as were the shower blocks and waste disposal. We were helped by a staff member when our motorhome awning got stuck due to the snow lying on top. This is by far the best value for money site we have been to anywhere considering all the facilities were included in the price.
