Woodovis Park

After making your way down the tree-lined private drive that stretches for half a mile from the main village road to this campsite, you are greeted by John and Dorothy Lewis – and the kind of friendly, polite service that might almost belong to a different age.
The site's 50 pitches are thoughtfully arranged in a way that allows you to drink in the stunning Devon scenery. They are separated into two areas, allowing those with families to be close to the well-equipped play area and indoor heated swimming pool, while couples have the facilities close at hand but are able to pitch in another, quieter area with the feel of a small, five-caravan site. This is quite a feat, and means that the park will appeal to just about every type of visitor.
The owners and their staff work extremely hard to offer all the facilities that a discerning visitor might require – for example, the shop sells home-made bread. Indeed, a monthly meeting is held to discuss the ways in which the site could be improved.
Something that will not change, however, is the charm of this superb little site, which offers everything that the bigger players do, but with a friendliness and welcoming atmosphere that they could never hope to match.
 • Seven miles to Countryman Cider, and its 15th-century buildings. Visit the orchards and learn more about the mill, then try before you buy. There's a wide range of ciders for sale.
