Our Devon home from home
We’ve been visiting Woodovis as a family since 2000. However long our stay, it is always relaxing and welcoming. We’re happy to stay on the site and just relax or use it as a base to make visits too many parts of Devon and Cornwall, for which it is ideally placed. The facilities are always top class, comfortable and clean, and we would recommend the site for short or long breaks.

Fabulous break away
We had a wonderful time at your site. We brought our caravan with us and the pitch size was brilliant, facilities were clean and tidy. Very well organised on arrival. Lovely park, pool, games room and grass areas for the children to explore and play. We can’t wait to come back!

Just relax
The quietest site I’ve stayed on in 30 years of camping and motor homing. Staff are very helpful and very welcoming. Shower block and amenities are always clean. Hot tub and pool are a great addition for your stay. Pizza and hog roast are are good to save the bbq or cooking. If you’re looking for a relaxing break you will struggle to find a better place.

Amazing experience
We had the most amazing, comfortable time camping at Woodovis park. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The site has a heated pool, park for children, table tennis table, games room and food trucks visiting most nights. Also there were circus skills available for children and adults some nights. The site is very well maintained and was extremely clean I would 100% recommend the site to anyone looking to go caravanning or camping.
