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 stay

Gray, Louise - 04/05/2025

We had a great stay that we actually extended by 3 days. Staff were very l9vely and helpful and the shop is well stocked. Can recommend the croissants and pain au chocolat 😋 Facilities were great and very dog friendly.We visited Watergate Bay a few times which is a 15 minute walk, travelled to Mawgan Porth by bus ,£10 return for 2 adults and drove to Padstow...about a 20 minute drive. Theres a decent Tesco at Padstow too. All in all a great stay and we would definately return and recommend to others.

Easter break

Really enjoyed our stay at at this site. We have been many time before so we know what to expect. Excellent facilities, friendly staff, fantastic views across watergate bay and beautiful sunsets on clear days. You may also get a good view of some unusual aircraft as they arrive and depart from Cornwall Airport. Two year ago I watched the red arrows come into land and leave the following day.

I’ve stayed here before and I’ll probably be back in the future, despite apocalyptic weather the pitches were in good condition, the facilities were keen and the bar was a real bonus in the evenings. That a short hop down to watergate make for a top weekend

Beautiful views and very clean facilities

Browne, Ann - 20/04/2025

The campsite is well situated for scenic views of the sea and the coastline to Newquay. The pitches are well spaced, level and spacious.The ablution block is extensive and very clean, also heated. The shop has great coffee and a good range of goods. Staff were efficient and caring and answered all my questions. There is a short walk to the village up the road where you can catch a bus to Newquay or Padstow.

Short surf trip

Davey, Peter - 19/04/2025

5

It was a little difficult to find the surfboard and wetsuit washing area based on the onsite map provided. I also didn't have a power cable to connect the electricity so if you had some that could be borrowed from the office that would be super helpful. Lovely views, great water pressure, really great all round, perfect camping spot.
