In holiday park, four Megapod Deluxes and 11 Megapod Premiers in The Hollow have been updated.
The Megapod Deluxes now have improved en suite facilities, new flooring, beds, soft furnishings and headboards.
The Mega Pod Deluxe accommodation, which sleeps up to four, also boasts custom-built woodwork with integrated lighting and cubby holes around the double beds.
Lauren Bynon, revenue and reservations manager at Whitemead Forest Park, said: 'Our newly renovated glamping pods offer a luxurious alternative to traditional camping, combining the charm of the great outdoors with the comfort of home."
There's lots to explore on Whitemead Forest Park that first opened as a caravan park in 1971.
The on-site leisure facilities include a heated swimming pool, spa pools, sauna, steam room and gym.
Activities at Whitemead Forest Park include archery and a variety of crafts like slime making - which all come at an additional price.
There is also a woodland-themed golf course which is made of 12 themed holes.
Like many holiday parks, there is a plethora of entertainment from quiz nights to Bingo, tributes and theme nights to children's parties.
The refurbishments coincides with the launch of Whitemead's spring into summer sale.

Sydney Airport will auction off more than 2,000 unclaimed valuables from just $10
In 2024, Sydney Airport welcomed 41.4 million passengers. In the first three months of 2025 alone, 10.4 million people passed through the airport's three terminals. With so many travellers passing through, it's no wonder that Sydney Airport's lost property bank is overflowing with valuables. Behind the scenes at the airport, there's a team of people working to reunite travellers with their lost treasures, with more than 7,000 items successfully returned last year alone. But not every lost lamb finds its shepherd, and the team are always left with a heap of unclaimed items. So, every year, the airport auctions off the items that haven't been claimed – to raise money for charity – and this year's auction is going live real soon. More than 2,000 unclaimed items are going to be auctioned off online, with bidding starting at just $10. Proceeds will help provide families facing cost-of-living pressures with free swimming lessons and water safety programs through the Inner West Council Aquatics team. So what sorts of treasures are in store? There are 250 laptops up for grabs, 250 pieces of jewellery and watches, 80 handbags, 60 Kindles and three surfboards, to start with. Some of the more unusual items include a violin and The Lord of the Rings book collection. From Tuesday, June 10, the online auction will start accepting bids on the first round of items. The auction times and categories for this year's auction are below: Tech and Gaming | Tuesday 10 June | 11am Jewellery and Watches | Wednesday 11 June | 11am Clothing and Shoes | Thursday 12 June | 11am Sunglasses, Scarves and Accessories | Thursday 12 June | 2pm Beauty, Alcohol, Home | Friday 13 June | 11am Since 2013, Sydney Airport's lost property auctions have raised $1.9 million for charitable and community organisations. As mentioned, this year's auction will support swimming lessons for children. The initiative will be kicked off by an initial $100,000 in funding from the airport, who hope to raise a further $200,000 from the 2025 Lost Property Auction – the equivalent of 8,000 free swimming lessons. The five catalogues have gone live online today, so you can have a good browse before bidding goes live next week. You'll need to register to bid, so make sure you've registered and checked out your top picks before the sale goes live. You can learn more over here.

Mystical forest just an hour from Cardiff inspired Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter
Mystical forest just an hour from Cardiff inspired Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter The ancient woodland is home to secret caves, rock formations, winding pathways and bridges that will make you feel as though you've entered another world. Magical UK forest that inspired Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter (Image: (Image: Getty) ) Cardiff is a city full of history and culture to explore and take in, but if you're feeling like you want to get out of the city, there's also plenty of options for adventures nearby. From mountain biking in Merthyr Tydfil, surfing at nearby Porthcawl or joining alpacas for a trek in the Brecon Beacons, Cardiff is surrounded by adventure. However, if you want to combine ancient history and nature, there's one sight that trumps the rest, and it's only an hour away from Cardiff. Revered for its otherworldly terrain that inspired the likes of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, despite only being an hour from Wales' capital, it feels worlds away from it. In a video uploaded to TikTok, the travel creator Claire Robinson shared that the ancient woodlands of Puzzlewood are complete with "secret caves, rock formations, winding pathways and bridges" — areas believed to have influenced both J. R. R. Tolkien and J. K. Rowling in their writing. Puzzlewood boasts a remarkable past, with evidence of historic iron ore mining activities and a hoard of 3,000 Roman coins uncovered amid the rocks in 1848, tracing the 14-acre wood back to the Roman period. The whimsical site is believed to have inspired Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings and has served as a filming location for numerous films and TV shows, including Star Wars and Doctor Who. While Puzzlewood is said to have influenced the Harry Potter series, its actual location, the Forest of Dean, was also featured in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Article continues below Visitors to Puzzlewood can take in the scenic beauty through walks around the area. The labyrinth of paths winds past striking rock formations and leads to hidden caves. However, Claire suggests visiting early to "catch its natural beauty before the rest of the world visits." The ancient site has inspired a number of fantasy novels (Image: ) The site closes in December and reopens in April, remaining open daily until the end of October. However, opening hours may vary depending on your visit date. From April, it opens at 10am and closes at 5pm until the end of June. Extended hours are in effect during July and August, with gates closing at 6pm. It's also a budget-friendly outing, with adult tickets priced at £9.90 and children's tickets at £8.50. Entry is free for children aged two and under, but pushchairs are not permitted, as the uneven terrain and moss-covered stones can be difficult to climb through. Article continues below It's also recommended to check the weather before travelling, as the site closes in cases of severe weather. If you fancy making a trip out of it, you can also stay at Puzzlewood, which has holiday cottages available to book near the ancient woodlands. However, they don't allow dogs. For dog-friendly options, Claire recommends staying in the nearby Woofield, although they won't be allowed into Puzzlewood unless they're assistance dogs.
