Having driven past this campsite for many years, we decided to give it a try one afternoon as we were struggling for a short notice pitch. What a revelation when we turned the corner by the reception office, a lovely clean and well kept site with the best toilets in Cornwall. This found great favour with my wife, as clean toilets are a prerequisite. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, which of course is a big part of the experience. Can’t praise this site highly enough and we are rapidly becoming part of the furniture…...Read less.

Lovely campsite.Well organised and clean. Toilets and showers immaculate.

Pitches large.

Stayed in September and very quiet.

We loved the dog field and able to walk around the top fishing lake.

We have already booked for next year😀...Read less.

We've always had an excellent holiday at Gwinear. The campsite has a pleasant, quiet, family-run atmosphere, overlooking one of the fishing the pools. Beautiful view especially at sunset.

The grounds are kept clean, and tidy at all times. The facilities are also excellent, complete with modern toilet / shower block (with facilities for people with handicaps included), covered dish washing area, laundry, dog & wetsuit cleaning area and now site-wide free WiFi. Not to forget the angling facilities - there's a well stocked fishing shop at the far pool with the specimen pool in view from the campsite. There's a separate road entrance to the shop and fishing carparks so that campers aren't disturbed by visitors.

The staff have always been genuinely pleasant and helpful - even when there's an issue with anyone's caravan / motorhome. Advice and local knowledge for suppliers is readily given.

We have no hesitation in returning here each year and highly recommend it to anyone who hasn'...Read less.

The whole site reminded me of a high end golf course standard rather than a campsite. Everything was maintained to the highest of standards. The shower/toilet/washing facilities were on par with high end hotels.

I love the fact it has everything you need to the highest of standards but nothing you don’t need. All staff that we had contact with treated us in a friendly but yet very professional way.

The fishing was excellent, well maintained lake, all fish in a very good condition & very helpful in the tackle shop.

No negatives & would 100% recommend....Read less.

Gwinear is a beautifully maintained and well equipped site. The shower and toilet block was immaculate and the grounds lovely and green and well kept. It's very peaceful. Also ideally situated for beaches, Newquay, Truro etc. The staff and owner are very friendly. Highly recommend this site....Read less.

We really enjoyed our stay. The team were so helpful, well organised, professional and very customer service & customer focused. Facilities were really gd.

Didn’t catch any fish

Thank you for such a great experience!...Read less.

The camp site is in a perfect location, close to food places, supermarkets and local attractions. The site was very well kept, nice and quiet and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We have already booked our return visit...Read less.

Very friendly quiet and peaceful site

Very large pitches lovely views over lake

Toilets and showers very good

Washing up facilities good as well even providing washing up liquid

Just a no brainier to return here and have already booked for next year...Read less.

Exceptionally clean, very friendly staff nothing to much trouble, the grass was like a carpet to walk on, well what can I say about the shower and toilet block you could eat your dinner of the floor, we never used our shower in the caravan because the showers were so clean, credit to you all this site is a pleasure to stay at and I’ve recommended it to so many people we bumped into when we went out and about in Cornwall, we booked straight away for next year, the pitches are a really decent size, Tracey and Peter Mcmanus...Read less.

We had a lovely 3 weeks stay at Gwinear,staff all very friendly.

Small well kept and very tidy site.Electric and water to pitch though you may need a twin adaptor as the water tap is shared with the next pitch.Pitches are all of an excellent size, giving you ample room for caravan,awning and space to sit and relax outside.

Tv and phone signal good and good free wifi.

Toilet/shower facilities very modern and clean.

Laundrette always comes in handy,comprising of 2 washing machines and 2 dryer's which was ample for the size of the site.

Dog exercise area which was very handy for some off lead exercise.

There's a Londis in Goonhavern around 10 minutes down the round which stocked pretty much everything or Morrisons at Newquay around 15/20 minutes.

All in all an excellent site and one we will definitely return to when we're in Cornwall.

Thank you for an enjoyable stay!...Read less.

This was our second stay in 3 years and the site is still as good if not better. Recent additions include NPR barrier security, fully enclosed dog exercise field and laundry room.

All of the staff are extreamly friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Showers and toilet facilities were 1st class and always clean, probably the best in Cornwall if not further afield also. The fishing facilities are excellent but would be better if closing time on the larger lake was say 9pm and not 5pm. This would allow a couple of hours fishing with children after a day on beach. Even if this was only on a few days per week for site customers only.

Will definitely be returning....Read less.

This campsite is excellent. It is pristine clean and the staff make sure that the standards are high. We had a very warm welcome from a gentleman who explained everything we need to know do during our stay....Read less.

As far as we're concerned this is the best site we have ever stayed at. The staff are friendly and helpful the toilets are immaculate a lovely quiet site but within easyreach of all the beaches and attractions that the region has to offer....Read less.

This was our 2nd stay At Gwinnear. It’s a beautiful site, very well kept and clean. The toilet & shower facilities are brilliant and the addition of a laundry room is a great benefit especially in not so good weather. We used the secure dog walking area for our dog and this is a real benefit to allow her space to run free. My husband & son took basic fishing kit and enjoyed an afternoon on the adjacent match lake, the staff were friendly & welcoming.

My son’s only complaint was that ball games were no longer allowed on the grass area so if there’s an area that could be utilised without causing nuisance that would I’m sure make visiting children very happy! For us the only thing that would improve the site further would be a small shop where you could get basics like milk, bread & eggs or maybe a tie in with a local bakery where you could order bread, rolls, pasties etc in daily we’ve had this service at a few sites and it’s been lovely along with a similar set up with a local butcher...Read less.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the site, which is probably the best we have visited in the area, we have been coming to the Newquay area for the last 30 years as campers and caravaners. We know the area well and found this to be a perfect base for our favorite beaches and places to eat. Access to the main access routes to get in to Newquay or to other parts of Cornwall are very close , but not too close to affect the quiet. The facilities at the site are kept in immaculate condition, the toilets are really great for a campsite and a pleasure to use. The rest of the site is kept trimmed and tidy at all times, the staff must be shattered, but if they are they don’t show it they are friendly and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely be returning....Read less.

Excellent well presented site, staff very friendly and helpful

Site well positioned for visiting other areas of Cornwall and beaches in Crantock, Holywell, Preranporth and Newquay

A small farmshop for daily goods milk and bread etc would be a great addition

A fantastic site will defo be back...Read less.

Great campsite, nice and quiet and very well kept. Spotlessly clean and well looked after.

Access to the fishing lake was great and reduced rate due to staying on site. We could only fish 1 lake which was ok but maybe come back next time for the other with the correct things needed..

The only bad thing I will say is there is no walking access off the campsite. No safe road..

Definitely would love to return!...Read less.

Lovely site very picturesque and extremely clean staff always working to ensure cleanliness in the toilets and showers you could eat off the floors so clean site regularly being mowed and strimmed lakes are lovely .staff very friendly could not ask for more. Just a pity about the weather but have asked for weather next year to be like last year please 👍 lovely quite site thank you look forward to next year ....Read less.

Lovely site. Excellent toilet & shower facilities . Great location to drive to different places although no where local to walk to . Would have been helpful to have a hairdryer or power point in the shower/toilet block . Overall a really lovely stay ....Read less.

Only downside and a few complaints from other was the fishing only from 9.00am till 5.00pm. And specimen lake the same for day tickets. Best time for fishing is early morning and evenings.

Could the shop opening times be put on a rota system? From perhaps 7.00am - 7.00pm...Read less.

An immaculate site and exceptionally well kept.

My only negative would be the cost of storage and the cost to have the caravan pulled onto the site i am at the moment only paying £440 for 12 months storage and have the option of pulling it onto the site myself so just charged £10 pounds to get to the caravan....Read less.

Our first time at Gwinear having popped onto the site 12 months previous for a look around. The site is beautifully maintained by friendly attentive staff. The facility block is one of the best we have encountered in 29 years of caravanning. Large level pitches which you can easily get your pegs into. Nicely spaced out pitches too. Excellent Wi-Fi and mobile phone signal. Great location close to many local tractions and beaches.

We’ve already booked for 3 weeks next year.

The owners were brilliant and very accommodating when we needed to make an alteration to our dates, due to unforeseen circumstances.

We welcomed having a good security barrier and the ability to phone in advance to enquire about an earlier arrival as our pitch was free was very welcome especially after a long drive when trying to avoid heavy traffic.

All in all a wonderful site, a new favourite for us which we have already recommended to friends. Occasionally showers were only warm as opposed to hot....Read less.

satisfied with everything ,staff very friendly ,site 100% no faults ,and the fishing and shop excellent, if you would like a very quite ,well maintained site to stay close to all areas of Cornwall, and just relax then this is the site to stay ....Read less.

well kept campsite with excellent shower and toilet block shame there is only one toilet emptying facility near the bins it would be helpful to have one near the toilet block and a hair dryer in the ladies toilet but these are only minor suggestions, overall we had a superb stay and the owners very helpful and welcoming, keep up the good work...Read less.

Same as our last stay everything spotlessly clean,grass on site kept nice, all the staff Andy, Aimee and Tom all very pleasant and helpful, only moan is no shop but you can’t do everything at once it takes time,with a shop this site would rate excellent but still a great site...Read less.

This was our 3rd visit to Gwinear this year, already booked for September, facilities are immaculate, Tom ,Andy and Debbie always ready to help and have a chat. Fishing always good.

No hesitation in reccomending Gwinear to other people.

Lovely Crantock beach and village two miles away.

Easy access to site...Read less.

I have been coming to gwinear for 5 years now and I have never been disappointed. It’s easily the best campsite in the area. The staff are beyond friendly and helpful and couldn’t have made it a better holiday if they tried. The whole business is fantastic. See you again next year...Read less.

As always showers block and facilities in excellent order. The campsite looks and is top notch. Husband had 2 fantastic days fishing and dogs and I had wonderful beach walks. Booking to return later this year and again for 2024....Read less.

Absolutely fantastic, spotlessly clean site, toilet blocks in fact all facilities. Lovely views of the fishing lake, staff go above and beyond. 5 mins from Newquay centre. Ideal.

Definitely be visiting again. Thank you...Read less.

Lovely,quiet site with excellent facilities (which were spotlessly clean and plenty of hot water). Friendly, helpful staff. Great dog field. Ideal as a base but a car needed to access beaches as off a busy road with no footpaths. Would definitely visit again....Read less.

What a lovely site. Very modern shower block. Added since our last visit a great laundry room, which I did use. The site is well maintained & looks very smart & tidy.

My husband enjoyed the Fishing & caught a variety of fish. His best was a 15lb carp.

Hoping the owners can get the local bus company to allow a bus stop at their site. Which I would definitely use.

We will definitely come again....Read less.

We were really looking forward to coming here for the first time, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. A lovely warm welcome awaited us. Pitches are huge and extremely well kept. Facilities were fantastic and extremely clean. We felt very safe. Great spot Great Lake. Couldn’t fault it. Going back in September....Read less.

A great site with easy access...no narrow roads to negotiate. Nice wide all weather hard standings and excellent toilet block immaculately clean.

We were in a Motorhome but being relatively local from Plymouth we had a car too to get around as otherwise it would have meant packing away everything and leaving pitch markers. No problem however for caravan pullers!

Would certainly visit again as from the location it is easy to travel around the rest of Cornwall...Read less.

Extremely happy after staying at Gwinear for the 4th year in a row. The cleanest, most well kept site I have ever been to. Spacious pitches, the dog area is so handy. Staff are friendly and helpful. Cannot recommend it enough! Trying to squeeze another trip in later this year and if not . Will definitely be back next year! 😊...Read less.

Very accessible from main road.very close to Newquay there is some traffic noise but is hardly noticeable.Beautiful kept site the grass is kept short.the toilet block is spotless.electric hookup and water on pitch.just a shame there is no waste water drain. Lovely views of fishing lakes .just relax with a drink and enjoy...Read less.
