 What a pleasant surprise on arriving at little Bodieve ! great location, close to Wadebridge and camel trail.
The site was very friendly, tidy and organised. Showers were modern and very clean.
We met Tony ! who welcomed us, and gave advice, Many thanks ! we shall definitely be back to enjoy the entertainment, which Tony says he is part of.
Would recommend to family's and couples like us.

A very relaxed and clean site, clean and hot showers. The staff we met were awful friendly and extremely helpful so we ate in no doubt we will visit again, the bar is well stocked and the bar food was delicious, especially the pizza!
We can't wait to go back. We're can't comment in how child friendly it is as we don't have kids, but there are plenty of settings and play areas around the site.

We have just returned from a week's stay at Little Bodieve in a static caravan - wife and I plus two kids (5 and 8) and the dog.
The site is exceptionally clean and we found the staff friendly. Facilities include a bar with some evening entertainment, small games room, splash pool, kids playground, swimming pool and an on site shop which had a selection of chilled and dry food, some fresh bakery items and some kids toys etc. All were well priced.
Our relatives stayed in a tent on a pitch which was a good size and near the shower facilities.
Wadebridge is a pleasant town and we found Little Bodieve a good site for exploring the local area - we visited Port Isaac, Padstow, Rock, Lanhydrock, Bedruthan Steps and Harlyn Bay (good for surfing etc and flat for families) and all took a maximum of about 30 mins in the car.

We chose this site as it’s fairly close to the Camel Trail, if you walk into Wadebridge it’s about 20 minutes down a steepish hill, there is also a bus service from Wadebridge to Padstow. We initially phoned to book a pitch but we were told that it wasn’t necessary, and as it was a bank holiday weekend, we were slightly concerned. Once we arrived we realised that there was no need to panic as this is a large site and there were in fact plenty of pitches, plus their rally field also had lots of EHU points. Check in was straightforward and the owner is very nice. The grass was well manicured and we could choose where we wanted to pitch, later during the weekend the site filled up as families arrived for the half term holiday.
The toilet/shower block is a little dated, but all seemed nice and clean whilst we were there, with plenty of hot water. Particularly good was the very hot water in the washing up area, to wash our greasy fry-up dishes! There is a small shop and a bar, and a small heated swimming pool. The site also has free wifi.
Wadebridge itself, has a Co-op where you can pick up most supplies, and a selection of independent shops, and a few pubs.
We shall definitely return to this site.

Great location for visiting beaches and cycling, good temperature water in the pool, lots of electric pitches available, good children's playground unfortunately that's where it ends.
There are 'site rules' which are not enforced, I saw more than one dog off lead free to come over and upset our dog (who was on his lead) there were young children unaccompanied in the pool so when supervising my children I felt if anything happens to the other kids I would be responsible for taking some kind of action to keep them safe, which is not fair, if the rules exist its up to the staff to enforce them.
The main issue I have which will stop me coming back to this site is the shower and toilet blocks. It's like taking a shower in someone's old shed or outbuilding! They are impractical, the showers are so small with one hook so there is no chance of your clothes or toiletries staying dry. As for trying to get dressed in there; don't bother. The button in the shower dispenses 7 seconds of water (yes I timed it!) which is either burning hot or burning hot with cold intervals! Completely useless! The shower blocks are cleaned regularly but still maybe a deep clean is in order as it's the beginning of the summer season and there is clearly thick layers of dust on the back of the toilet door wooden fixtures plus tonnes of cobwebs with some complementary flies, yuck. The site owners need to realise, when you're camping the one comfort you want is a warm clean shower (not a shed) with a dry area and plenty of hocks.

What a fantastic campsite. It's ideally situated for touring the area. The staff are really friendly and helpful. It's family run, so only one barman, generally, but he worked his socks off and was always friendly and the food was hot and well prepared.
The facilities were excellent. Showers were always clean and hot. Plenty of dish washing space. We didn't use the pool, but it looked fine and was kept clean and there is a separate splash pool slide, which isn't open all the time, but looks great for the kids when it is.
I will definitely be considering re-booking when we next visit Cornwall.

We were greeted and shown to our pitch upon arrival. We were situated within the rally field which is very well set out with quite large pitches. We had plenty of room but I can only think it may be quite difficult to get your caravan into position if these pitches are all taken as there is only a narrow strip to drive to your pitch on. This is primarily a family site so expect children during the holidays. The toilet and shower blocks were cleaned each day but look slightly dated. There is a huge play area for the children with plenty for them to do and large green areas for them to do basically anything. There is an outdoor swimming pool and water slide which had kids in them each day. There is a well stocked shop for most of your provisions but if you prefer a large supermarket there are enough close to hand to satisfy most people. The bar area was frequented by adults and children. The site is well looked after and very tidy throughout. There is a dog walk at the far end of the site for those who choose to bring their pets along. It is around a mile into Wadebridge so if you want to walk there it is around 20 minutes. There are enough shops, supermarkets, and bars but beware of the Bridge on the Wool. We paid just short of £20 for 2 pints of bitter, a medium glass of red wine and a bottle of cider, not exactly encouraging you to stay in the pub in my opinion. If anyone fancies an Indian takeaway though, the Spice Guru is not cheap but I have not tasted food like this anywhere. The bhajees are superb, and the chicken jaupuri I had with rice and a nan was simply devine with tons of taste. The beaches in the area are great for water enthusiasts, you just need to choose the right one as they were quite full and at times there was not enough parking places close enough to the beach. Harlyn bay was our best choice with plenty of parking close to the beach. £4:00 to park your car at most places, well priced if you have a car full. Dogs are allowed on some of the beaches so you need to check first before you travel to them. Most beaches are around 7 miles from Wadebridge so be prepared to travel. All in all a good holiday destination.

It has been 10 years since I last visited this site. Very little has changed. The site consists of a couple of fields with hookup. A section for tents and a number of statics. It has a children's play area, splash pool which is open at certain times of the day and a small swimming pool which was lovely to make use of at the end of a warm day. There is a small but well stocked shop, a bar which serves food ( we didn't eat there but it looked popular) and a games room for children.
The wardens are the same as 10 years ago, friendly family run site.
Wadebridge is centrally situated for easy driving to most of cornwall, Newquay is only 15 mls away, Padstow 6mls and if you don't want to drive you can cycle the camel trail.
The toilets blocks are basic and are as I remember them from the previous visit so could do with modernising but water was hot and I didn't have to queue. The gents was not always as clean as my partner would have liked.

We chose this site for it's proximity to the Camel Trail.
Staff on site are very friendly. The site is geared for families which of course means you should expect plenty of children in the school holidays. Our corner pitch was used by everyone as a cut-through so a strategically placed windbreak is a must. It was a bit of a distance to reach the power hook-up but fortunately we had a long lead.
The toilet and shower facilities are plentiful and functional but would benefit from some updating. However this is balanced by the site fee which was not as high as most we experienced during the holiday.
Wadebridge is lovely little town situated roughly halfway along Camel Trail. Little Bodieve is just under a mile from the trail and the route to get you there is OK for adults but not so safe for young children as you have to cycle along normal roads into Wadebridge to pick it up. Once on the trail it's about 7 miles in one direction to Bodmin and about 6 miles in the other direction to Padstow.
There is a bus stop outside the site entrance which we used to visit Port Isaac. It's about a 35-40 min journey which also takes in Rock and Polzeath. The helpful lady on site reception provided a bus timetable.

My family (Linzy, Ella, Megan, Molly and me Dave) stayed here for 10 nights but enjoyed it so much we decided to stay another 2 nights. We met 2 lovely families next door Daz/Michaela and kids Rowan and Esmae and Andy/Angela and kids Ewan and Grace and Eve the choc Labrador. Top People. My kids haven't stopped talking about their kids.
The site is located just in the right place to explore Cornwall, if you want to keep fuel cost to a minimum. All the beaches are fantastic and close by. The only problem was we didn't have enough time to explore them all. Cornwall is a beautiful place and this is a good base to stay.
The shower blocks have loads of hot water and are regularly cleaned. They are however dated but this doesn't bother me as long as they work and are clean. There is a playground for the kids with swings and slides etc. My kids loved this and there were tears whenever we retrieved them. There is also a water shute with pool for the kids and a swimming pool. The Pool is clean and quite busy.
The Bar is adjacent to the pool, this is handy as there are poolside seats and tables so you can let the kids loose and relax with a drink and watch the football on TV. There are 2 Pool tables a Darts Board and a Table Tennis table in the Bar. The bar serves Burger&chips, Pizza curries etc. (good value). Drinks include Rattler cider, lager and local St Austel beers (cheaper than pubs).
There is a handy small shop on site that sells News papers, milk, tinned food etc but Wadebridge has a Lidl, Tesco and Co Op, so we mostly bought in town.
The pitches are big enough to fit a caravan, Awning and a car on. You can get Gas refill at reception. All the staff are polite and pleasant and the site is great value for the money and I would recommend it.
