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.

Not for us

Walsh, Kerry - 06/01/2024

Stayed here summer 2022. Location was perfect yet, pitch was too small. Next door was practically sat with us.Paid for a ‘sea view’ got a mud wall!Not enough room for all of us sit out at one time.No fires are allowed. Now I understand why.Kids had no area to play & when they did the only place they could go to was an unused pitch until the next arrival & even that wasn’t enough room without disturbing the other residents.Had to goto off site for them to play.Really has put us off coming down south for a long time. Too commercial for what we’re used to. So many nice places closer to home with much more room to enjoy & relax with a better price tag for a summer holiday with the family.

Stunning location, great staff and excellent facilities

Staniforth, Geoff - 07/10/2023

The fully serviced pitch was very large with easy to access utilities. The view is stunning as you are on the cliff top but that does come with higher winds as you are more exposedFacilities for removing rubbish and toilet and grey water are excellent and kept very clean. Perhaps add a bin for paper and cardboard to save you taking it to the shopLarge shower and toilet block is very good, showers are free and hot. Minor point but an extra hook or two would help in cubical to hang clothes up to keep them dryFacilities are very good with a site shop and cafe and the option to use the facilities on the sister site. Unfortunately the cafe and pool were closed when we visited in September but we appreciate with the much lower number of customers, it is not viable to keep them all running.We had a very enjoyable stay and will definitely be returning

Great site, with good little shop, clean facilities and short walk to the beach where there are many facilities.Very friendly staff, even phoned me in the day while we were out to inform me that there would be local fireworks in the evening, as she was aware that we had a dog with us. Hope to see you again.

Great site, easy to book and a fantastic cafe serving the best fish chips and peas in Cornwall much better than Rick Stein's. Fantastic views, sunsets and great flat pitches. My favourite site

Dog Friendly Site.

Highcock, Jayne - 28/09/2023

As we were turned away from a previous site which is local. They would not take our Doberman. The site site were very friendly and good to speak to. The amenities were kept clean every day. The washing up facilities were enclosed which was great as you did not get swepped away with the winds .The showers were hot. There was a laundry facilities which were on par price wise with a laundrette. The pitch size was a good size for our tent. We erected wind breaks on the front to help keep the calm and assisted with the wind hitting the tent less. Water taps were accessible.On site shop good. The restaurant closed at the end of season.we cannot comment as we did not use this and we arrived towards the end of season.Good signage for people with sandy wet suits to use field 2 and a tap provided there. We used the tap to rinse off our ground sheet as the weather turned to heavy showers.Overall a great site. 20 mins walk to the beach along a cliff path or 5 mins by car. Great views

The staff at The View were amazing, nothing was ever too much trouble, very friendly and helpful. Obviously the location is second to none at Watergate and convenient bus stops for access to Newquay and Padstow. The pitches are excellent and I think my only comment would be for the showers to run longer on a press of the button

We are travelling the coast road in Cornwall, and found this lovely campsite. The welcome was truly lovely and made us feel very comfortable, had all the facilities we needed as able to do a wash as well, which was good. Will be recommending.
