Can anyone recommend a site or cl or cs in or around the forest of dean area.

Have not been there yet but going in a few weeks I believe Symonds Yat caravan park is good.

I have also heard a lot of good things about Whitemead Park run by the CSMA

Whitemead is really nice - we were there last Bank Holiday. Good facilities, lovely area. It's a CSMA site but available to everyone.

Hi, we went to the forestry commission site at Coleford for Whitson. We stayed at the Woodlands field and that's exactly where you're located - smack bang in the middle of the forest - it was brilliant.

It's not the cheapest (our non electric pitch was

I too considered the forestry commision site, but looking through the brochure and seeing they had space for some 500 pitches....!?

As its also a tenting field I wasn't too keen on staying at place that could be a scene from a wet Glastonbury.

Am I wrong?

The Woodlands site doesn't allow tents and the pitches are very secluded from each other. The forestry's other site in the same area - Christchurch - is completely different. We went to have a look and there were tents and LOTS of kids yelling and charging around.

The only downside to Woodlands is that there isn't a toilet block only chemical disposal points so if you want to use a loo other than your caravan one then you have to go to Christchurch which is only a short walk away. But if you want peace,quiet and seclusion, go to Woodlands.
