As dmj1962 has already explained, Whitemead Forest Park is run by the CSMA and contains excellent facilities (see dmj1962’s explanation of these below). We were there in mid-November. The chalets are delightful, warm and comfortable. The facilities overall are excellent. We had a great time using the place as a base for a few days to explore the Forest of Dean. CSMA membership gets you a raft of additional member benefits so it is worth joining to get the discount.

The Miners Arms is an excellent restauarant with an equally excellent free house attached: An excellent free house with an equally excellent restuarant attached. That tells it like it is.
This place features in CAMRAs Good Beer and Cider Guides - with more than 5 real ales on tap and a choice of 23 ciders (oh, and about 8 excellent wines . . . . and several top notch whiskys . . . . need I say more).
The restaurant matches the booze very well, serving a solid and reliable range of English standards done well. For example,there was a Perry Fish Pie, made with pear cider (or Perry), thick cut gammon with a home-made tomato pickle and pickalilli, new potatoes and a chunky salad, there was also a lovely home-made tomato and basil soup and delightfully large and succulent - yet crisp - salmon fishcakes with a potato and parsley mash.
We were delighted and impressed with both the service and the food.
