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.

Nice campsite with everything you need.

We had a lovely time at the view. Pitches are roomy. Staff is super friendly. Camp shop has a good assortment. The pitches do not offer a lot of privacy but that’s very clear from the website. Only thing we missed was a communal fridge really. We wouldCome again!

Love this site! The views, facilities, staff, cafe and location are wonderful.

Ringrose, Angie - 29/07/2026

Return visit to this lovely site. Welcoming staff, good size pitches with beautiful views and sunsets. Facilities clean and well thought out - very good. The licensed on-site cafe had new menu - we loved it and ate there lots, good quality local ingredients (no UPF here) - a great change from pizza and burgers, delicious and lots of choice at a good price. You can use the Cribbar cafe at the nearby sister site if you do want burgers etc, again at an amazing price. The walk down to Watergate Bay takes 15 minutes, is mainly off road and is stunning. A few steps on the way back up, but not steep at all by Cornwall standards! We love this site and are already looking forward to our return visit.

We had a great time

We stayed at The View at Watergate for 2 nights in our camper while visiting family. The check in process was so easy and the pitches were a great size too. It was very quiet and serene and perfectly located to get to Watergate Bay beach by foot or driving. This will be our first option for future visits

Idyllic location.

Fisher, Kerrie - 26/07/2026

5

The View campsite far exceeded our expectations. The location was beautifully situated at the top of Watergate Bay with a cliff top walk down to the beach being a gorgeous way to start every day. The campsite was peaceful and clean and had everything you would need for a stay ir cafe, bar, shop without taking away from the fact you were camping in a field. We loved it and will return often.

Perfect solo trip site

Walker, Heather - 25/07/2026

I stayed here for 4 nights with my dog. Quite often being a solo traveller I’m ignored but this site was welcoming and full of lovely people.My only complaint is the obnoxiously loud hand dryer that I could hear from my pitch throughout the night!
