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.

Lovely site

Powell, Andrew - 25/09/2024

The view at watergate bay is a beautiful site and well maintained. The pitches have ample room for car caravan and awning with room to spare, also there are more serviced pitches this year. The toilets and showers are adequate but could do with a facelift. The cafe and bar is a little bit pricey but affordable. All in all it's a great little site with great views of the sea and Newquay with stunning sun sets

Best campsite ever been to!

Young, Debbie - 25/09/2024

Had the best camping holiday. The facilities were excellent & clean. Having your own picnic bench & water tap is great. Everyone was friendly, the shop was well stocked. Of course the perfect weather helped & what a view! Short walk to a stunning beach at Watergate Bay & we used the bus service to Padstow & Mawgan Porth which was also stunning. Can't wait to visit again next year, highly recommend, loved it. Thank you ❤️

Located close to the Coast Path, friendly helpful staff booked me in and ensured I had everything I needed.Facilities were beautifully clean and I was able to wash and dry all my clothes.Magnificent sunset viewed from my tent.Pitches were large, flat with close cut grass.I would go back and stay with my large tent for a full holiday, and would be confident to recommend to friends. I have already recommended to coast path walking friends.
