  • Relaxing park on the Devon/Cornwall border
  • Heated indoor pool, spa and therapy cabin
  • A variety of pop-up kitchens and bars throughout high season
It’s a stonkingly safe bet that any site listed as having an ‘infrared therapy cabin’ is going to be one where you can relax and get away from it all. Woodovis Park, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Devon/Cornwall border, has this in spades: relaxed but with Devon delights just on the doorstep, no road noise, splendid beaches within easy reach, plenty of active options nearby, a heated indoor pool and spa on site, and, the topping on the Devonshire cake – fresh bread, croissants and pain au chocolat all baked daily for the licensed on-site shop. Activities on site include archery, waterwalking, visits from international storyteller Clive PiG once a week during school holidays, and twice-weekly circus skills workshops in high season. A wood-chipped play area and games room are there for the small people, as well as a nature trail, outdoor table tennis and a pétanque court to ping about on. Dogs will also have a barkingly good time here, as Woodovis is dog-friendly and has a dedicated dog walking area as well as Lower Meadow, the site's ‘specially for pups’ field where pooches can run off the lead. (There’s a dog-wash area on site too, although perhaps tails won’t be wagging too much at that.) Facilities at this safe, family-friendly and environmentally-friendly park include a free wifi zone in the games room and chargeable wifi available throughout, twinklingly clean loos and free hot showers, a parent and baby washroom, a launderette and – blessedly – a bath for soaks in blissful solitude. An additional individual toilet is in the Tamar View Field. A traditional pub with good food is around half a mile’s walk away, but if you don't want to stray that far, a variety of pop-up kitchens and bars are available on site throughout high season. But back to that therapy cabin. The infrared rays here are used as part of a targeted deep heat treatment to warm the back’s blood vessels – soothe all your non-holiday stresses here before splashing about in the heated pool with the family or taking in a bit more relaxation in the spa room. Well, you can never have too much relaxing…

Super fully-serviced gravel site

Liked: Beautiful well thought out family owned site with polite & friendly staff. Woodovis have thought of everything without having that cooperate commercial feel that most other comparable sites do! This day in age the offering of free internet with a very respectable download speed is welcomed where others throttle you to a low amount or having to pay for greater speeds.

The site is layed out well with everything being well thought out with the added bonus of the 5* amenities on offer. Woodovis go further by adding additional offerings such as bicycle washing station, dog washing facility and even a very much overlooked welly wash station. A level of finesse as been applied to the complete site to little details such as sufficient dog tying points at locations throughout such as shop, toilets, washing up.

Tamar-View powered gravel site

Liked: The site is amazing! The facilities are amazing. Everything to the last detail is thought of to make this an enjoyable stay for all campers! Immaculate toilet/shower facilities with hot water (no push buttons either) the onsite shop is well stocked. We didn’t make use of the pool but it looked great. The enclosed dog walking feed is a great touch too! Well done!

Disliked: We only stayed for one night 😩

Local attractions

First on your must-do list should be a trip to nearby Tavistock, market town and home of the cream tea; browse around the regular farmers’ markets to pick up the best Devonshire produce. To walk all that food off, you’re only a short drive from Dartmoor with its walking, cycling and horse riding trails, or other active options including tree-surfing and canoeing are nearby. Those for whom a holiday wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the beach will be in sandy heaven, with some of the best beaches in the country easily reachable by car: bounce around the rock pools at Bovisand, get sand between your toes at Seaton, or explore the several small beaches at Talland Bay. For historical highlights, the National Trust’s Castle Drogo has gardens and a gorgeous view over the Teign Gorge. Or have a go at family walks and bike rides at Plymbridge, a look at Sir Francis Drake’s former home Buckland Abbey, or a visit to Dartmoor’s Lydford Gorge, the deepest in the south west and with a waterfall 30 metres high.
