Wonderful campsite – Tripadvisor.co.uk 2023
Woodovis is just the best site that we have ever stayed. We stayed in a static caravan which had everything you would ever need. Most importantly it was spotlessly clean. All the staff are so friendly welcoming and extremely helpful! This site is the perfect holiday park in a fantastic location & in my opinion suits every age. There is a wonderful swimming pool with a sauna. Small playground for the children, great walks! It’s just the most peaceful family park!
