This is a very friendly family owned and run site. It is very clean and tidy. The facilities are as stated with play areas and swimming pool.
The pitches are excellent and marked out clearly.
The club is excellent with a range of entertainment designed to please everyone. It is close to the beach, one of the best surfing beaches in the UK with a free mini-bus service should you need it. Newquay itself is approx. 4 miles away by bus or car.

This is our 2nd year on the site and once again we have really enjoyed our holiday. The shower and toilet blocks are always clean and when I used the washers they worked really well. The shop was stocked but if you wanted a croissant you need to up early as they soon go.
All staff very friendly especially behind the bar, they knew what my husband drank and when they saw him walking in they began to pour his pint, what more can a bloke ask for ?
We only really went to the bingo night but the atmosphere was live and kicking. We could here the bands on other evenings but this was not a problem we were so tired from been in the lovely clear sea surfing we slept like logs.
Roll on next year we shall be booking again once I know which weeks we are taking.

This caravan park was brilliant, it had working and warm showers, always had loo roll which was regularly filled, friendly staff, clean facilities (no spiders)! constant entertainment, dogs allowed, advice about the local area. I really cannot emphasise their attributes enough. They really did just get it right.
The local area was also fantastic, the site was located near the coast line - a short walk away with stunning views and great bars, restaurants and hideaways. The tide comes in very quickly though so beware! The local lifeguards are always on hand - I'm going to donate to the RNLI after seeing what they had to do whilst I was there!
The local towns are lovely - I recommend Padstow it has quaint and quirky shops and traditional Cornish Pasties! Everyone was so friendly! Also a huge bonus that most places were dog friendly too so we could take ours everywhere we went (except the Eden Project unfortunately!)
Overall I had a fantastic time despite the torrential rain - I did however, get my first tan so the sun is definitely hot when it rises over Cornwall!

Arrived back yesterday from spending a week here at watergate bay touring park. When arrived staff where friendly and helpful. On site there is a small shop that sells basic things, a cafe which is located next to the island bar you can eat in or take away. They are open in a morning serving breakfast and on the evening from about 6-30pm till late for snacks, pizza,chicken and burgers etc. The cafe also provides children's meals and sell a selection of sweets,crisps and fruit shoots for the little ones.
There are two toilet blocks which were cleaned every morning within my weeks stay. There is a children park which my granddaughter loved playing on and a tennis court. The beach is about 1 mile down a very steep hill but there is a free mini bus service provided bye watergate that takes you down and picks up I dint use this service as we used our car but I did see the mini bus round and about. Over all this is one of the best touring parks I have visited and I will go back again

This is a good site which is very well placed for the fabulous Watergate Bay beach, which is about 1 mile away. It has two superb toilet/shower blocks which were always immaculate, a nice club house/bar, swimming pool, shop, café/takeaway, games room, children’s playground and tennis courts. Everything was very well maintained smart and tidy.
We were there for the last week of June and first week July 2009 and enjoyed our stay. However we were a little disappointed that some of the facilities and the entertainment are only available on a daily basis in the main school holidays, so it is worth checking what’s up and running before you book. For example the bar didn’t open until 7.00pm. There was only entertainment on Saturday nights and the free beach bus wasn’t running.
It is worth pointing out that this site is on the flight path for Newquay airport and that there is a dairy farm next door. It wasn’t a problem for us, but we were woken most days at the crack of dawn by one or the other. You can request a pitch well away from the farm but obviously there’s nothing that you can do to avoid the aircraft noise. But if you are a plane spotter it’s heaven.
Watergate Bay beach is one of the best in Cornwall. It is dog friendly and there is a great pub on the beach called the Beach Hut, which also has a Jamie Oliver 15 restaurant above it. Also look out for the Merrymoor Inn at Mawgan Porth just along the coast. It has great sea/beach views and sells very reasonably priced food.

Lovely campsite. Great location, 15 mins walk to beautiful beach, pub, restaurant. The shop on site closes at 11am, but there are others within 5 minutes drive and a cafe and bar (sky sports) on site. Good facilities. I'd imagine this place gets very busy during holidays, booking advisable.
