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 location, get rid of the bright street lamp in the middle of the camping area

Jones, Freddie - 20/04/2026

As title says, I was gutted to be given a pitch right under the street light in the camping area. To be told at 9pm that I can move my tent if I want to was a bit late as it was all set up by then. Just can't understand why you'd want to ruin the clear skies and beautiful setting with an obscenely bright lamp post to light the 20m walk to the toilet block? Everyone who goes camping has a phone with a torch on so should be able to navigate their way without the need for the lamp.Lit up my tent like a Christmas tree!

Two nights became three and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. Facilities were excellent, spotlessly clean and well appointed. Easy access to coastpath and short walk to bus stop for Newquay or Padstow.

The view is stunning and the pitches well kept

Hughes, Lucie - 17/04/2026

We were thrilled with our stay overall. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful. Our fully serviced pitch had a picnic bench which was perfect for having lunch with our friends next door. The view is amazing! When there's no view you need a waterproof!! The walk down to the beach was lovely. We enjoyed some wonderful food in the cafe. The amenities were good, lots of hot water, clean showers. The only negative was that the toilet block was freezing cold. This won't stop us from returning!
