Most importantly, it's only a 20 minutes walk from the glorious beach of Watergate Bay, great for sunbathing and swimming!
The park's spacious pitches consist of non-electric pitches, 10 amp electric pitches, 16 amp electric pitches and super pitches, which are equipped with a 16 amp electric supply and mains water/drainage point. Each pitch is approximately 9 metres x 9 metres.

For those looking to turn up and have a hassle-free home there are comfy pods. These sleep either two or four with heating and electricity supplied. Inside each are a proper double bed and the family pods add a set of bunk beds, plus the extra luxury of a microwave, toaster, mini hot plate and mini-fridge.
This campsite is an AA 5 pennant graded park, a David Bellamy Gold Award park, a Visit England 4 star park, and a Green Tourism Silver Award park.

Watergate Bay Touring Park opened back in 1975. For all of those years, we have been providing stunning campsite facilities for families and couples to enjoy. To us, there is no better advertisement than recommendations and we are proud to have a high percentage of returning guests.
We want our guests to have a holiday that we ourselves would wish for. We are constantly adding things to the site, and making new improvements to ensure the park is as good as it can be. We hope to welcome you soon, Graham

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches (10-Amp)Jul 2023
We stayed for 2 nights on what was probably the worst weather weekend of the summer! I phoned ahead to check the conditions at the site and the staff were friendly and reassuring, and even tried to arrange a more sheltered spot on the site for us.
On arrival we were warmly welcomed, and every member of staff I met was helpful and happy. The site was really clean and tidy and had everything we needed. It's a beautiful walk down the coast path to the beach, and only a short drive into Newquay.
Would absolutely recommend and happily come back to this site.
Lovely time

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023
My partner and I camped here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. Very clean and tidy site with great facilities, friendly staff and amazing views! Only a 15 minute walk to the beach along the coastal path (great spot to watch the sunset), a 10 minute drive into Newquay town and a 5 minute drive into Mawgan Porth. We’re definitely going to book again for next year :)

Motorhome - Premium Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024
Clean site with good toilet/shower facilities.
Staff were very friendly. Pitch excellent but pricey for lack of open facilities. Would have expected to pay this for higher season when things were open. Only the pool was open.
Only stayed 3 nights as the weather was exceptionally bad. Apparently, it is a very windy site in normal conditions, probably due to it being high up and open on a hill. Short walk to the beach albeit down a very busy road.
However, we hadn't seen that it is directly next to the airport. Had I known Newquay even had an airport I wouldn't have booked this site as we found the planes landing above our heads very unnerving.
