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, only 1 thing I can fault it on.

Foreman, Connor - 02/10/2026

Loved this campsite, the views are awesome. Nice and quiet and well maintained. My only issue with the site is the current system for the showers. Having to press a button every 10-15 seconds is quite frustrating. I would suggest extending this to last for about a minute each time instead.

I was disappointed with my booking. I paid £20 for two nights but only realised on arrival that campfires weren’t allowed. I had planned to cook my dinner over a campfire, so I had to find an alternative campsite and couldn’t use the booking.The restriction wasn’t clear to me when booking. Making it more prominent would help others avoid the same problem.

Second stay and can’t wait to return

Moore, Jane - 18/09/2026

Our 2nd stay and booked for next year before leaving. All staff are very friendly with nothing to much trouble. The view over the bay is wonderful. On this visit the bar was only open the first two days but visited on both to sit and watch the sunset. Would have visited more if it was open. Toilets always clean and always plenty of hot water in the showers. Can’t wait to return. Thanks

Perfect location and quiet with lovely views

Ivins, Eric - 18/09/2026

This was the perfect location with just a short walk via coastal path to beach or by using road . The pitches are very large . We came in a large motor home with moterbike and trailer on back and an xtra guest with a car and still had plenty of room for awning and outsiide relaxing area with picnic bench . Shop on site with lovely fresh Croissants . Hot showers and a laundry room . They also have a sister site just next door called watergate bay camp site that you have full access to , including the pool , entertainment and cafe/restaurant. Very clean and well kept sites would highly recommend

Great Stay

Darnbrough, Jo - 16/09/2026

The location, facilities, pitch size were great. Facilities were spotless and very pleasant and the staff were very helpful & friendly. The washing up area was indoors which helps and was very clean. The views were also great. The on site shop was very well stocked with everything you may need. The only problem for us was that we were very unlucky with the weather and being high up and overlooking the sea meant it was very windy for our stay. It's a little tricky to find when visiting for the first time. A sign at the end of the lane past the main site would be helpful as the postcode alone took me to a completely different site. Booking was super easy and entry to the site was a simple process. I imagine we would have had a perfect stay if not for the wind, as we loved the site. We loved Watergate Bay itself too so will likely be back on our next visit to Newquay :)
