About Watergate Bay Touring Park
This award-winning touring park is just four miles north of Newquay and ten miles south of Padstow. Located on the B3276 coast road, you'll be surrounded by beautiful countryside designated by the National Trust as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 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. There are also extra-large 16 amp Premium electric pitches measuring approximately 9 metres deep by 12 metres across. 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 is open from 22/03 to 03/11.
Site facilities include an indoor swimming pool (open 29th March - 15th September), tennis court, skate park and even a large traffic-free children's play area including themed pirate ship where the kids can get active. A designated dog walk area will suit your four legged friend.

Great location but glad we were there out of season as the facilities must get really busy when the site is full. Also, the showers had an annoying habit of intermittently running very hot, then cold.

Things to do on site and in the Newquay area
This park is packed with activities that don't require you to even leave your cosy base. Start the day with a tennis tournament, or get the kids into skating and testing out their moves. It's more than likely that everyone will spend the whole day in the pool - maybe the whole holiday!
Off site, your first thought should be for the beach! The size of the beach at Watergate Bay guarantees it's never overcrowded. At low tide the beach is two and a half miles long, and it is possible to walk all of the way to Newquay. There are also plenty of rock pools for the children to play in, as well as designated safe and life guarded swimming areas in the sea.
If you're wanting to try your hand at watersports then Newquay Activity Centre is a must, just 20 minutes away. Enjoy surfing, bodyboarding, coasteering, paddleboarding, kayaking and more with lessons available for every member of the family, and every ability.
Other nearby activities include:
- Numerous golf courses
- Surfing including lessons
- Lake and sea fishing
- Bike riding
- Horse riding
- Coastal walks
