We have visited Wooda park several years ago and found it a fantastic place, so when the chance came to take another holiday to Cornwall, it had to be Wooda!
This time we stayed in their new luxury cottage - Tregea. And what a beautiful home it is! Tregea even has its own games room with table tennis and pool table!. In a word. WOW.
And the park itself is perfect - large spacious pitches, beautiful scenery, toilets and showers that are very spacious and modern, sports hall and on site gym (very handy for myself when working off all the gorgeous food from their on-site restaurant), and the beach is just a couple of miles away. Our kids particularly enjoyed the nature trail walk through Wooda's woods - we even found some magical pixies hiding in the woodland!
We can't wait to return again to Wooda, and would especially like to thank Charlotte for all the help she gave in recommendations for activities and restaurants (a great Italian restaurant called Elements has fantastic food too). Many thanks and see you soon
Not a lot to add to previous reviews, we had a lovely time over Easter.
Couple of comments just so people are aware:
Some of the fully serviced pitches are a touch on the short side. We were backed right up to the tap, but the hitch was still only barely off the roadway.
There is very little Internet access available unless you pay for wifi access - £1/hour, £4/day or £15/week. I had a great mobile signal but no data, even 2g :-( so do all your research at home/in town.
Not site related, but the Morrisons in town has to be one of the worst in the country. We'll stick to Sainsburys next time we're down.
This is a lovely site. We stay in/around Bude every year and have tried a few other sites but always come back to Wooda. There is a warm welcome and the site is so pretty with all the shrubs etc. We had some torrential rain during our week's stay but our premier pitch was fine with gravel hardstanding.
The shower block is spotless and makes the whole process a real pleasure although I understand that the men's shower cubicles are smaller than the womens.
Our two dogs love Wooda and, although the usual doggy field was closed due to sheep grazing, another field was provided. If I had any moan at all it would be the price we have to pay for our two small dogs but we think the site is worth it.
We enjoyed our stay at Wooda, although it has taken me a year to post a review.
The staff were excellent across the site.
We pitched our tent in the top camping field (free pitching) it is large and has views out to sea, the showers/toilets were modern clean and never very busy.
The bar/restaurant was very nice and had some charm to it, food was good and had decent range of drinks, there was table tennis next to it so it kept the kids happy, has a courtyard and a nice garden.
A good playground, tractor rides etc, great for the kids and big kids.
The site is pretty, well maintained without looking too over fussy, some nice walks and a nice little lake you can fish on.
A stroll of 20 minutes downhill will get you to Bude, lots of places to eat and drink, beaches, sea pool to swim in and a cheap taxi ride back to the site perfect.
Spent 2 weeks on this site and enjoyed every aspect. The initial booking experience instilled confidence in what we expected. On arrival at reception we were dealt with in a manner which was very amiable and efficient.
Amenities were well kept from the toilet/shower blocks to a well run bar and restaurant. We ate in the bar on numerous occasions and although the choice of menu wasn't huge, all food and service was value and prompt. There is also a take away near the entrance of the site which served a range of fast food which again was of good value and quality
The play area kept our 7 year old girl occupied all holiday and she made plenty of friends.
The site is only approx 1. 5 miles from Bude which can be cycled in 5 mins but beware the hill back which is fairly steep and may take 25 minutes. The site has a good sea view and is well placed for touring North Cornwall/Devon. We would recommend visits to Port Isacc ( home of Doc Martin) Padstow and Boscastle. The Tamar otter sanctuary is also well worth a visit (weather permitting), we spent a full day there and enjoyed a nice lunch in the well presented cafe.
In summary we would thoroughly recommend this site for any period of break or holiday.
Booking was easy & I was able to choose a pitch in advance - handy when you know the site. Plenty of space on our pitch which was also level (Some are on a fair slope).
The site was very quiet considering that we arrived on the day after the bank holiday - the weather had been awful though so that may have explained that.
Facilities are excellent - clean and warm showers / toilets.
The site was being used as part of the Bude Jazz Festival with two concerts held in the sports barn - both were excellent and were packed - mainly by festival goers but many people on site seemed to to advantage as well.
The view is great (and it is windy) but it's a top notch site
Stayed for 2 weeks with our boys aged 8 and 5. Staff extremely friendly and helpful right through from booking process to the last day. Large site with statics, tourers and tents.
With the site being up on a hill overlooking Bude and the sea, I was concerned whether it would be windy, but we had no problems with this. We had a premier pitch, which was great.
Hardstanding with a grassy area to the side and hedges providing a screen from neighbouring units, EHU, water and waste. We were at the bottom of a hill and our pitch became quite flooded during a particularly heavy downpour. However, before we could even head down to reception, wardens were round on their quadbikes inspecting pitches and digging channels to drain away the water and to put down sandbags to prevent any further problems.
The site was busy but not full and even during the busy summer holidays, we never had to queue for showers.
There were two large toilet and shower blocks with a smaller one behind reception - always clean and tidy. Showers free, operated by push button. Lovely and warm with a good flow. Large cubicles with space to hang your clothes without getting wet. Family bathrooms available at a charge, but we did not use this service.
Laundrette facilities - £3. 50 for a 40 min wash and 50p for 10 mins in dryer. Wetsuit wasing point and good washing up facilities also provided. On site shop sold the usual provisions, plus sweets and toys.
You have to get up early for the croissants however! There were also DVD's to hire from the shop - £2. 50 per day. Loads to do on site - children's play areas, nature trail, fishing lake, golf, tennis, indoor badminton and fitness suite, pool, table tennis, tractor and trailer rides, farmyard friends.
The only let down, for me, was that it had no pool - but this is my only minor criticism. Courtyard bar and restaurant a pleasant stroll down the lane. Open 6. 30pm to 11pm. Good homemade food and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Quiz night and live entertainment weekly.
Having previously stayed at St Ives and Padstow, we were a little disappointed with Bude itself. It looked a little run down and we got the feeling it was 'yesterdays resort'.
There was a fairly good selection of shops and eating places, although we never actually ate in Bude itself. Sainsbury's was also located very near the town centre, with a Morrisons also nearby. We had a lovely meal at Elements Italian Restaurant near Widemouth bay and we heartily recommend a visit to The Preston Gate pub in Poughill for great food and a friendly welcome.
Booking is essential however, as it is only a very small pub. We visited Summerleaze beach, Sandymouth, Northcott Mouth and Widemouth Bay, all lifeguard covered. Sandymouth and Northcott Mouth were stunning but during our first week, however, high tide was about 3pm, so we were forced to move up onto rocks and pebbles mid afternoon. Lovely places to visit all within an hours driving distance.
We had a yummy Sunday carvery at The Cobweb in Boscastle and we also visited Tintagel and Port Isaac where our boys enjoyed watching the crab and lobster pots being brought in! We also made the trip down to Trevone Bay and Padstow which was about an hours drive away.
So to summarise, this is a 5* family friendly touring park and we would have absolutely have no hesitation in recommending Wooda to family and friends. We hope to return again soon.
Just returned from a few days at Wooda, despite some shocking weather we had a really good time. This is one of the best sites we have ever been to. The facilities were excellent (clean and spacious toilet blocks, a laundry etc) and also made also good use of the existing farm buildings.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It is hard to fault this site, the facilities were first class, the takeaway was good value and the food of a decent standard,
The bar had a good atmosphere and the number of activities offered was wide and varied (archery, clay pigoen shooting, quizzes, tennis, pitch and put etc). If only they could control the weather it could have been perfect!
We stayed at Wooda for a short stay of 2 nights just to start the camping year, this site seemed very nice, it was clean and exceptionally quiet. Almost too quiet I think but then again it was early in the year.
The facilities were clean and the shower cubicles large, individual sink cubicles would have been a nice feature as I don't particularly enjoy cleaning my teeth in front of other people, but that's just personal choice.
There did seem to be quite a few things to do on site but for us they were just too far away the site appeared to be separated into two, one for camping and caravanning and then a long walk to the other end of site where the lake, bar etc were located.
We didn't use the bar or any of the facilities and probably wouldn't as I felt they were just too far away, personally I like a camp-site that seems like a campsite, I'm not after club houses or anything rowdy but something a bit more 'awake' than wooda.
One of the problems with the bar etc for us was definitely the distance, it was like walking off site and for us we like to be able to sit and have a drink looking at the camping fields with all the tents and caravans and the hustle and bustle that brings, whilst being able to pop back to the tent if we forgot something. However if I went to the bar here and forgot my purse I would have to go back to the tent and wouldn't bother going back out as it would have probably taken me 10mins each way and for us its just too far.
Our pitch was on a considerable slope which was annoying but this is the case at some campsites and is to be expected to a degree.
Bude is very lovely although not an awful lot to do in Bude itself, however a rowing trip down the canal is highly recommended, we did quite a lot of fishing which was great. Be aware of the tide it is very strong and caught us out on the beach one afternoon.
If you like very quiet sites this is definitely the one for you.
Had a great time at Wooda and although this is only our second camping trip this site will take some beating. The sea views off in the distance were fabulous but it did get windy.
The site was clean and tidy at all times of the day. Although it was the middle of the school holidays you wouldn't know it as it was very quiet (except for the odd cow mooing), which made for a great holiday for us. N. B. I didn't mean the cows are odd only that there was an occasional moo.
We didn't go to the bar or have a takeaway but various neighbours on site recommended them highly. There was a free quiz on thursdays. The produce in the shop was not overpriced and offered good value for money with all the usual items milk, bread, clotted cream etc.
The toilets were always clean and we never had to queue for a shower or to use the toilet. The free showers in the gents were great, nice and hot with a push button that lasts for approx 30 secs. My other half says the ladies showers were somewhat cooler however she does have the shower at home hot enough to boil spuds so you will have to judge for yourself.
There is also a woodland walk with pixies hidden on the trail. Our 7 year old daughter loved hunting for them and we found 20 however another family had spent a few hours there and found over 40.
The children's playground was good and there were lots of children of all ages there. It is a dog friendly site with a big field for walking them and also for flying kites.
It is well located for north Devon and north Cornwall, we went to Boscastle which was excellent and to Padstow which was pretty packed for a monday. If you go to Padstow at a busy time of the year even if it is raining use the park and ride, it cost 4 pounds but saved a whole lot of grief. The bus stops outside the National Lobster hatchery which is a short walk (5 mins) from the harbour and shops.
The only downside was our pitch had a slope and I pitched the tent across it using the footprint of the previous occupants. We learn from our mistakes!
What a great site we had pitch e4, loads of things to do on site, showers and toilets first class always clean. Pub was good, good food out of the take away. Tennis and golf for kids fishing also. Only down side was the size of our pitch could only fit on the tent, no room for my tarp or to park car
Bude is a 2 miles away, loads of parking at the beach, great surf too, not too busy either. Some great shops. Summerleaze beach is where we went. The sea swimming pool was great, also found Tommys Pit a Victorian swimming pit out to the left of the beach in the rocks
Just returned from 6 days at Wooda. We were camping with a 19 and 20 yr old so wanted somewhere that had the facilities for independence, but not too commercial - Wooda was perfect.
The campsite was clean, well organised but relaxed. Pitch size was excellent - plenty of room for car, tent (Vango Icarus 500) and the cooking equipment. Shower facilities were clean and plentiful and only had to queue on one morning despite the staggered starts! We had a drink at the Courtyard bar and staff were friendly.
We cooked all our own meals - Morrisons definitely did well from our visit and had some lovely supplies for picnics. The campsite shop was well stocked and although others have commented it was pricey it seemed pretty reasonable and certainly no rip offs.
Had fresh croissants on our last morning to save lighting the stove (apart from early coffee for the oldies!) and they were lovely.
We visited Padstow (should be renamed Steinstow) - very very busy on a Sunday - nice walk along the quay - and a walk around the parish church which was beautiful had to have pasties and cornish ice cream - both yummy!
St Austell - delicious crab from the aquarium which sells a beautiful range of fish and seafood, Widemouth Bay - great waves - lots of sand but pretty busy on a sunny day. We went to Bodmin - a little disappointing, but had a lovely picnic in the park.
Also a very interesting trip to Dartmoor Prison museum (a request of my 19 year old) it was fascinating and well worth the £3 entry fee. Also went to Tintagel. Lovely walk to the castle, but not worth the entry fee.
Final day we headed to Hartland Quay. Absolutely spectacular views, really breathtaking. Nice hotel there that seemed to serve reasonable bar meals.
Overall somewhere we will return to. And the best news, the 19yr old daughter who was a reluctant camper is now planning our next trip.
