Families, couples & dogs are all welcome here at The View at Watergate Bay. Our small camp site is in a stunning location on the North Coast of Cornwall, looking out across the vast expanse of Atlantic Ocean & along the beautiful, rugged coastline towards Newquay, the popular seaside town which is just 4 miles away.

Here you have the advantage of staying on a small and peaceful campsite with all the facilities at Watergate Bay Touring Park, just 300 along a quiet lane, available for you to use: Indoor Heated Swimming Pool, Skate Park, Tennis Courts (for a small fee), Pirate Ship Adventure Play Area, Mini Bus to The Beach (during peak times only), The Cribbar with free nightly entertainment (during peak times only), Large Shop, Games Room, Dog Exercise Field & Overnight Arrivals Field.

If you're looking for a well looked after campsite with generous, level grass pitches & clean facilities that is close to one of the best beaches in Cornwall, look no further.

Watergate Bay is a fantastic holiday destination. There are two miles of dog friendly sand at low tide, as well as rock pools & caves for the kids to explore. The RNLI patrol the beach during the summer, making it a safe place to swim & surf or body-board some of the best sets in Britain.

Even during peak times, due to the size and shape of the site as well as the generous size of the pitches, it never feels too busy. The site is surrounded by fields & the ocean, so offers a wonderful feeling of space all around you.

Great site, lovely location.

Walker, Tina - 28/06/2025

We really enjoyed our five night stay at Watergate Bay. Last bit of the road was narrow for towing a caravan but to be expected in Cornwall and not as bad as others we visited! Staff were friendly and helpful, facilities good and view from our pitch outstanding.

The view did not disappoint, the views are lovely and and weather was lovely. The toilets and wash areas were very clean and tidy with plenty of room.A great location to explore the coast if you have a vehicle,if not there are some lovely walks close by.I would highly recommend and will be returning.

Great site. Perfect location! Slightly confusing pricing model in my opinion.

Logan, Conrad - 23/06/2025

The site itself is fantastic, with everything you need if you have a camper. The location is amazing, with a short walk to the beach via road or coastal path. The shop/cafe that is advertised as open was not open at all when I was there. Strangely enough there were signs outside saying it was open.You can book premium spots, which I presumed would have a good view. Unfortunately that is not the case. The best unobstructed views and without a doubt, the best spots, are the cheaper ones on field one. No one can block you view if you pick one of these.One unpleasant thing I observed is that dog owners were letting their dogs do their business on the empty plots in the first field. It happened multiple times a day with no consequences. I would book the back field in future to avoid having to deal with such people next time.

One of our favourite campsites

Baldwin, Emma - 20/06/2025

5

Arriving at The View at Watergate Bay was simple & easy! The pitches are well laid out with great views all around. The location itself is perfect for those who don’t mind a short walk along the coast path down to Watergate Bay itself (we did this multiple times during the day and for dinner - and loved it!)Cleanliness & facilities couldn’t be faulted. Showers & toilets we clean, laundry & washing up facilities had everything we needed. Overall we really enjoyed our time at The View at Watergate Bay.The only criticism we have is that reception could be open longer during the day. On two occasions we hoped to pop in to see a host/buy WiFi but after our days out and returning back on site (always before 5/6pm) reception had already closed.

My Go-To Campsite In Cornwall

Driver, Stephanie - 20/06/2025

It's always a friendly welcome, clean facilities, well maintained site and a general chilled vibe, what more could you want. Oh yeh, there is also plenty to do in the area, for us, coastal walking, surfing and lots of good places to eat.
