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.

Couple of days peace

We were able to drive straight in a find our pitch. Once parked up we headed to reception to check on. Lady behind desk was friendly and told us all the information we needed to know. It was end of season so only around 10 or so pitches on use. Toilets and shower rooms were lovely and clean and we felt comfortable. Cafe is fairly priced and food was great. Views were stunning! We found the closest bus stop very easy and headed down to Newquay for the day. Overall the camp was clean and peaceful and we will definitely be returning

A fabulous return again to the View

Money, Robert - 04/09/2025

The view certainly lives up to its name with wonderful views over watergate bay. Campsite is clean, well appointed and friendly. Lovely and quiet at night even over bank holiday when it was busy. Facilities are kept super clean and a well stocked shop. I would say that most people who come here are campers who enjoy camping and all it offers. Highly recommend.

Great campsite with beautiful views

Sole, Viera - 01/09/2025

The campsite was great, well lit and easily accessible. The barrier with number recognition worked well and it opened promptly. The facilities were clean and well looked after. The little shop on site was well stocked with various items from camping accessories to food. I was slightly concerned about being so close to the airport but it wasn’t a problem at all. The cafe on site did a good range of food.The Watergate bay is about 15-20 minutes on foot along the costal path with amazing views, although it is uphill on the way back. The hosepipe to rinse wetsuits was very helpful. Lovely place to go with family, we thoroughly enjoyed our camping trip.

It’s in a good spot with a lovely view but to bear in mind you are right near Newquay Airport so lots of plans flying over, I was pitched right next to the road which wasn’t great but it won’t stop me returning I’ll just ask for a different pitch. Beautiful beach ⛱️☀️
