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.

We have previously stayed at the sister site and this was our first time staying here. Lovely site, good size pitches, cafe and shop on site plus ability to use facilities at the other park was a bonus. The toilet and shower facilities were clean. Every member of staff we dealt with was lovely. A bonus for us with a plane mad son was seeing the planes coming into Newquay airport. And an amazing view of the gorgeous sunset.

The View at Watergate Bay is always a delight to stay at.

Griffin, Simon - 31/05/2026

The campsite is always very well kept, everything works and the shop is an absolute lifesaver, especially if you want to arrive and not drive very much. This year the on site cafe has a new Chef and the food was simply outstanding. The staff are always warm and friendly and it's only a short walk to the bus stop. The coast path is an easy short walk away too, as is the beach. The views are uninterrupted and fantastic. In all it's hard to think of a single reason not to stay here and I look forward to returning there again real soon...
