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 campsite with amazing views

Money, Robert - 03/06/2023

A wonderful campsite looking over watergate bay. Nice big pitches, very well stocked shop and friendly site. Nice addition of on-site Gin bar and use of facilities on sister site. Women's showers could do we a reverb as often water later in the day was cold-I hate cold showers! Otherwise an amazing site and location.

Fantastic Park and very good value for money. The shop sold everything you need which saved me having to drive into Newquay in my motorhome and it's the location for watching breathtaking sunsets.

Great Spot!

Troughton, Lianne - 30/05/2023

It’s a great little campsite, quiet, great location, right on the coastal path with is ideal for lovely walks! Facilities were clean, friendly staff, well stocked shop!My only criticism was the hot water took ages to warm up and never really got past lukewarm for the showers, yet the washing up sinks would be roasting hot! Which was a shame

Superb site

Fletcher, Mark - 29/05/2023

5

The whole site and facilities were very clean, tidy and well kept. The reception/shop was spotless and the 2 ladies were so very friendly, happy & helpful. We're glad we came in May, prior to real season commencing, as there were few on the site, giving plenty of space between other visitors and so quiet.A great site, great views and near a great beach. We will be back next year.

I really enjoy my stay, everyone was really friendly and the views were amazing. The one thing I really didn’t like was the lights. It made it very difficult to sleep in a tent.
