The View at Watergate Bay

Nestled on Cornwall’s dramatic north coast, just a stone’s throw from Newquay, The View at Watergate Bay offers a relaxed, family-friendly camping experience with a real sense of space and comfort. The site features a mix of spacious grass pitches and modern camping pods, all set within a stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whether you’re pitching a tent, parking up your caravan or motorhome, or settling into a snug pod, you’ll find yourself surrounded by open countryside with a gentle sea breeze drifting in. Facilities here are top-notch—think indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court, a lively play area, and a handy shop for essentials. There’s also a games room, a dog exercise field, and even a seasonal minibus that whisks you down to the beach. Cleanliness and thoughtful touches matter here, so expect spotless showers, a warm welcome, and a laid-back vibe that makes it easy to unwind. The campsite truly comes into its own for families and couples seeking a peaceful base with enough on-site fun to keep everyone happy, rain or shine.

Step outside the site and you’re spoilt for choice—Watergate Bay’s long sandy beach is perfect for surfing, dog walks and lazy days by the sea, while the South West Coast Path invites you to explore rugged cliffs and hidden coves. Stroll down to the beach in about 20 minutes, or catch the minibus in peak season for a hassle-free trip. The area is a paradise for outdoor lovers, with rock pools to explore, waves to ride, and spectacular sunsets to soak up. Nearby, Newquay offers lively attractions and an easy pace all of its own, while pretty villages like Padstow are a short drive away. Whether you fancy a gentle coastal walk, a surf lesson, a bite at a beachside café, or just lounging with a book and a cuppa, you’ll find plenty to fill your days—and return home feeling refreshed and inspired.
