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.

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.

Professionally run, quiet, nice cafe, great location (mostly!)

Ioannou, Christos - 09/06/2025

We had an excellent few nights camping as a family at the View. The view of the sea and Watergate bay is great, at least on the west-side pitches... but this also meant on the first night that the pitches are very exposed to high winds when you're unlucky enough to get them. But after pitching in these conditions, the rest of the stay was lovely. The welcome at reception was quick and efficient, and even though we went in school half term, the toilet and shower facilities always had capacity, and it was never noisy. That's in contrast to our stay last year at the Watergate Bay Touring Park nearby, which was busy and noisy, but staying at the View allows you to use their facilities like their swimming pool, play park and EV chargers (very useful around here), and it's just a 5 mins walk between the campsites. The View is also close to the beach, about 15 minutes walk, mostly off the roads. The cafe on site does good food and is great value.

Nice campsite

Boatman, Lj - 31/05/2025

The campsite pitches were very well looked after, the toilet block was very generously sized and clean with indoor washing up stations making it more convenient if camping in bad weather. The cafe was also handy in bad weather and was clearly a nice hub for people to catch up. Watergate Bay was just a short walk away along the coastal path and we also walked into Newquay which wasn’t very far, if you did decide to drive it’s also an easy route to get to by car. My only negative was that we seemed to be in the largest none electrical pitch and it was still very small, as it was a windy weekend we wanted to put up our wind break but there wasn’t any room, we’ve always used the same set up and never had an issue anywhere else. Other than that it was a lovely place to stay.

Perfect beachside campsite with amazing facilities

Clark, Ellis - 30/05/2025

We have returned to The View at Watergate Bay time and time again. The campsite is perfectly located to be able to take a short coastal walk down to Watergate Bay. The cafe and shop are very useful when you want to grab some food or drinks. The toilets and showers are all well maintained and very clean. We will be back again soon!
