From the moment we arrived at gwinear we knew we were was going to have a fantastic stay. Warm welcome from the staff on check in. They explained all about the amenities and local area . The pitches are a fantastic size and everything is maintained. The shower block was spotless not once over the 9 days did I see any kind of mess or dirty shower cubicles.

We was that impressed with the site we booked for Easter weekend 2027 and booked to store our caravan for 2027.

Thank you for a fantastic stay , you guys have a fantastic business and we can’t wait to return....Read less.

The site is very well laid out and the facilities are excellent

To enhance the stay even more it would be good to have a small onsite shop with the basic daily items available.

In addition the hand dryer in the Gents toilet needs to be upgraded as the existing unit is not fit for purpose as it is very under powered.

We shall return again very soon....Read less.

Staff are really friendly and helpful, the site is so clean and tidy.

The toilet/shower block is immaculately clean and there's so much room .

It's a very quiet relaxing site, the pitches are very big so your not cramned in.

By far one of the best sites in Cornwall.

Nellys restaurant on site do amazing food at a very reasonable price

Highly recommend this place ....Read less.

I had a fabulous stay at this campsite. From the friendly welcome to the platinum rated toilets, to the extremely generous pitch. I would absolutely recommend this site. It has a cute little onsite cafe and lovely views of the fishing pools. I will be hoping to visit again next year....Read less.

Stunning site in a great location. Spent 2 weeks on this nice quiet relaxing site. Already booked up again for September and next year. Shower block is immaculate, good facilities, WiFi included (which is great), good size dog walking field. The food place at the entrance to the site called Nellys does beautiful food. Can’t wait to go back!!...Read less.

We have been going here for around nine years now and won't go anywhere else. We take our three dogs with us and they get out and run to the gate for the field .every one on the campsite know who they belong to .and the owner also know this .we try our very hardest to keep them in lol . We lovely the owners of the site they are always there to help us you what ever you need if possible 😀...Read less.

Absolutely Spotless, the site and Toilets / Showers. Terrific pitches. Nelly's Surf and Turf is superb and compliments the site perfectly. The Welcome from Andrew was very friendly and informative, made us feel at home straight away. Little touches, the hand soap and cleaning clothes in the toilets and washing up liquid at the dish washing station were much appreciated. Access to the site was first rate. Mid position between Newquay and Perranporth gave easy access to both locations....Read less.

Immaculate campsite kept to golf course standards. Nice & peaceful, but staff always available to help with anything.

Toilet blocks are high end hotel standard. Fishing lakes are a joy to fish at such a reasonable rate.

Perfect location to explore Cornwall and its many things to do.

100% recommend & 100% will be revisiting, thank you....Read less.

Gwinear is such a lovely peaceful place to stay and unwind from the stresses of every day life . For me it’s a little bit of heaven , with the beautiful surrounding places to visit . The staff , Andy , Amie , Tom and Debbie are so friendly and helpful , nothing is too much trouble for them . Then there’s Nellie’s food on site , what can I say , except delicious . Overall I would strongly recommend Gwinear , a fantastic place to visit and stay ....Read less.

This campsite is great for older couples with dogs. Although children are welcome, this campsite may not be suitable for young ones who like to run off their energy - there is a 'No ball games' sign. This is because the campsite is directly next to the fishing lake, and the anglers appreciate the quiet. So do I and my wife.

The facilities are great, and the family who run the site invest every year into making improvements. The toilets and shower blocks are first class, and so is the laundry room. You can use the freezer at no extra cost. Wi-Fi is exceptional. We watched Netflix in our tent!

We did feel that the washing up facilities would be better if they had a dedicated building, instead of being partly covered.

The enclosed dog exercise field is much appreciated for our four legged friends.

The onsite Nelly's Surf and Turf is wonderful too. Booking is highly recommended to avoid disappointment, but they do offer a takeaway service which we took advantage of.

We'll be back!!...Read less.

friendly staff gave us all the information we needed on check in.

Nice quiet site with short drive to beautiful beaches and Newquay.

Site perfectly clean and well maintained.

Would stay again if in the area....Read less.

What a lovely site. Easy to find & a great location to explore this beautiful part of Cornwall. Friendly & helpful staff. Facilities were all you needed and spotlessly clean. Didn’t have a chance to sample Nelly’s Surf & Turf on-site as we didn't book early enough but the food looked amazing. 10 minute walk (follow the grass path) to the bus stop that will take you to Newquay in about 20 minutes. Also had a lovely day in the beautiful St Ives - you can catch a direct train from St Erth P&R as parking can be a challenge in St Ives. Would definitely recommend this site and hope to return ourselves in the future....Read less.

First time we stayed at Gwinear ,very clean site kept lovely,Fishing Lakes very accessible very good fishing,nelly’s surf and turf shack well worth a visit very good food, toilet and shower block kept very cleaning tidy, staff very helpful made very welcome will definitely be coming back here again...Read less.

On arrival was met by a very friendly lady sorry rubbish with names

We stayed in crantock pod was enough room bed was ok and included bedding was clean and tidy

Bathroom close by and immaculate in the ladies at all times couple of messes found in mens unfortunately but not fault of the site fault of people not cleaning up their own messes

Unfortunately we had poor weather so if returned would definitely bring some sort of pop up I'm order to be able to cook outside my husband managed under the brolly would also bring a travel kettle so didn't always have to use outside stove for brew

Pod had a little fridge in room and when I realised it wasn't switched on at the plug it is actually very cold lol

The site overlooks a fishing pond and could see ducks with their babies

The site is very quiet and have a no noise at 10pm policy

WiFi available for free too

Lots of lovely places to visit close by...Read less.

Just back from another stay at Gwinear Camping. Cannot fault anything about this site. Absolutely fantastic site, toilets are immaculate, site is lovely and peaceful and well kept. View of the pool is amazing. Staff are great and will do anything to help if needed. Nellys Bistro is a must!! Food is outstanding. See you again in June...Read less.

We rented a pod for 3 nights at Gwinear.

The site is beautiful clean tidy and so well maintained.

The washing facilities were outstanding the best you will ever find.

There is a lovely walk around the fishing lake which is kept beautifully.

Nelly,s the on site cafe/restaurant was outstanding quality reasonably priced. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.

The pod was warm and cosy, clean bedding and a wonderful view across the fishing lake,

I only have a small criticism the floor of the pod hadn't been hovered and was extremely dusty, the window also could done with the cobwebs being removed.

On saying this i would 100% stay there again,

The staff/owners were lovely.

The best site around by far....Read less.

We love this site. So well maintained & clean. Each pitch is so spacious even if you have a caravan, awning & car. We have a motorhome. The toilet block is very modern & it's no wonder they have won awards.

The Fishing is the main reason we come here but would still use the site anyway. Great that WiFi is included too.

The only thing we would like to see is a motorhome service point....Read less.

Just a great place to stay

Quiet clean owners very friendly facilities great near to Holywell bay and crantock in a great spot for touring Cornwall

Hedges between pitches for a little privacy

Nothing negative to say it’s a five star from us

Probably need to find some downers to stop everyone booking up but sadly there aren’t any

You would probably be hard pressed to beat this lovely quiet spot

That’s why we’re already booked for two more holidays this year and it’s in my satnav favourites as OFFICE

i wish it were true

See you all again very soon...Read less.

Easy to get in good plot space, all the ataff are very helpfull and friendly, all the facilities are clean and looked after, the on site bistro serves great food, i do not fish but have been told it is good. Lots of places around the area to eat ans visit etc.

Andy, Tom & Debby are great pleasent &very helpfull.

Sorry no photos too busy enjoying the peace....Read less.

This site has got to be up there with the best if not the best, cleanest and most helpful staff, lovely walks on site for your pets and with Nellie's the best food what morecould you wish for.

Can't wait to return

Well kept clean, tidy and peaceful site, toilet and shower block modern and always spotlessly clean,paddock area where you can let you dog off lead for a run around otherwise dogs must be kept on a lead,next to a very busy road though the road noise isn't to intrusive....Read less.

We were blown away by this site, firstly the owners were so helpful and informative on arrival that you felt at ease strait away.

The gravel pitch was huge with both electric and water well spaced from other vans and the grounds were beautifully manicured with great views of the fishing lake.

The toilet/shower block was of hotel standard every little detail was thought of.

We were so impressed we’ll definitely be back in 2026.

5* shower block, laundry room access to use on site freezer

Very clean site good fishing choice of 2 lakes, close to Newquay, Perranporth, Padstow, morrisons, not to far, there is a bus stop on main road, this year have introduced nellys surf and turf all local caught fish , it is an ideal base to go out exploring, no entertainment or play parks so a nice quite site very dog friendly with dog exercise field we have been going there for several years and love it there is always someone on hand to advise and help you and the other campers always speak so ideal opportunity to get to now people LOVE IT...Read less.

We stayed for 2 nights in a campervan we hired Debbie was a true Diamond nothing to much trouble,very clean and quiet food at Nellys surf and turb was excellent will definitely book for next year Thank You Andy and Suzanne and Mila...Read less.

First time visiting Gwinear & would definately return again. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by the owner who explained everything we needed to know to enjoy our stay. Pitch was very large & immaculately kept. In all the sites we’ve stayed at this site had the most luxurious toilet/shower block,(Spotless & very modern). This site was so peaceful & in easy reach of lots of places to visit ( only 7 minutes drive to Newquay) All in all a site the owners should be very proud of& that i would highly recommend.

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

Well firstly so easy to get too no stupid single file tracks. Reception was welcoming and helpful. Good security gate. Nice large hard standing pitch with nice hedge each side. Shower and toilet facilities were exceptionally well looked after and clean. The small snake bar/ takeaway on site was out of this world food was amazing. Fishing was great fished 9- 4 and had 20 carp all over 9lb with several going to high teens inc a 19lb .the site is kept spotless and everyone we met were so nice . Will definitely be revisiting as this was a great base camp to see all the sites around Cornwall....Read less.

Gwinear,

It’s such a lovely site, the staff are so friendly, facilities are so good, if you like fishing there are two wonderful lakes, great dog walking fields. And there is first class food available from Nellie’s canteen....Read less.

It’s our happy place, lovely staff , nothing is too much trouble. Facilities always clean and tidy.. And now we have Nellys surf& turf on site.. .Have already booked our holidays for next year and definitely recommend it to everyone!! We have made lovely friends with fellow caravaner’s, we keep in touch and we are already counting down to next year!…can’t wait!...Read less.

we add a fantastic stay , the site is always in pristine condition , toilets and shower facility first class ,all staff on site very polite and very helpful .

add a emergency with alarm system on caravan and family of site owners where kind enough to take delivery of replacement parts ,

we add a fantastic 3 months stay , gwinear is in a very mid way position , so you are a short ride to the beaches , left out side the site to Newquay, right out of camp to truro ,Penzance st ives etc ,

the fishing also is excellent, and staff in shop very helpful ,prices for both fishing and stay at gwinear very competitive with electric and water in price .

fully recommend the site ,...Read less.

Amazing fishing tackle shop on site this site ,would benefit from a shop on site that sells every day needs toilet and shower’s immaculate clean site all round , fenced off dog area safe and secure will definitely return...Read less.

I have literally no complaints about this professionally run campsite, the whole site is 5 star and immaculately clean especially the toilets. The secure dog field was a blessing and the Fishing was also top notch....Read less.

Have been fishing a lot of times find it a great place to fish had my pb 29.5 lbs nice easy access as well .

Thought we would try camping for the first time the toilet facilities where first class clean and modern

Definitely will be going again one criticism the food outlet was pricy and didn't have breakfast and had to wait for ages for food ....Read less.

Modern quiet site with great pitches with EHU and water on tap

Excellent facilities and site kept in great condition by friendly and helpful staff

Nellys surf shack a great addition the best food we had all of our family holiday

Looking forward to next year...Read less.

Had a lovely time at Gwinear our pitch was spacious with plenty of space for us the staff are very friendly and helpful and very professional in everything they do

The toilet block is always spotless clean and tidy there a laundrette on site and a freezer for communal use

New this year there's a restaurant where the choice and quality of the food is excellent

We found all other guests to be friendly and helpful and very important to us all adhered to the site rules about no noise between 10 pm to 8am so getting a good night sleep was great

There's two fishing lakes one for specimens and one for pleasure fishing and a very well stocked tackle shop

Location of the site is perfect for Newquay and Perranporth situated halfway between both

This was our second stay here we liked it so much we've booked for next year already...Read less.

Lovely campsite but there is absolutely nothing for the children to do there, the dogs have more space than them with an exercise area.

Site just needs a space for them to play with a ball something or a playground.

Great site just requires something for the younger customers...Read less.

We've stayed here twice now in August for our summer holidays.

The site is well presented, very clean and tidy.

The hosts are excellent, from initial booking through to completion of the stay.

Hard standing pitches are level and have great privacy via dividing hedgerows, they also include individual water taps.

Excellent facilities for dogs, including enclosed exercise area, dog walking area and dog shower.

Toilet/Shower block is modern and very clean.

Will certainly visit again, as it is a great site and fulfils all of our requirements for a great holiday....Read less.

Nice site layout, easy to manoeuvre caravan onto pitch, liked having water tap at the pitch. Toilets and showers spacious and clean. Very dog friendly with nice walk towards pleasure lake and a fenced exercise area.

Good food from Nellys Surf & Turf on site....Read less.

The site is very well maintained with exceptionally clean facilities. The site isn’t too big and I have always found the atmosphere on site welcoming. The staff are always there to help and to top it off the location of the site is perfect for exploring the whole of Cornwall....Read less.

This was our second visit to Gwinear and hopefully wont be our last, the site is well maintained, clean and tidy. It's a very quiet site with large pitches, where caravan, awning and car fit with ease, toilet facilities are immaculate with large shower cubicles that we've never had to queue for.

There is now a small hut serving food, unfortunately we never found any time to eat there but the food looked delicious, coupled with a great looking menu.

We don't fish so can't really comment, other than I overheard a couple of guys talking about the two lakes having a great stock and good sized fish?

The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, our electricity supply tripped around midnight on our pitch on one occasion and was repaired the very next morning.

I hope this is some insight into what to expect from Gwinear, it's a lovely site and a perfect location for visiting anywhere within Cornwall, I'm sure nobody would be disappointed staying there.

Well done to the great Gwinear team...Read less.

Site has been improved year on year over a 10 year period and specifically since covid. All staff are amazing friendly and extremely helpfull.

Facilities are amazing and cleaned regularly throughout the day and the site in general is immaculately maintained.

There are 2 fishing lakes on site, one a specimen carp lake that can be used overnight the other a larger pleasure fishing late with carp to over 10 lbs, but unfortunately closes at 5pm, an 8pm closure would be better.

Small fenced in dog exercise area, agan well maintained.

However not a lot on site for children....Read less.

We stayed in the Crantock pod during July/August. Upon arrival the staff were super friendly and welcoming!

All information was easy and helpful! The location couldn’t be more perfect! So central to all main locations of Cornwall! And the local restaurants was gorgeous (we visited the bowgie inn and The smugglers inn) the food was amazing.

I’ve stayed at many campsites and found this one was above all! The toilet facilities were so clean and tidy at all times of the day! Also the other facilities (launderette, wetsuit wash area, etc) had everything you would need!

The pod itself was lovely! So homely and cosy with the decoration. Had everything you could possibly need! And the amount of space is perfect for two people! Lovely for a camping experience with little bit of luxury :)

We loved the experience! And would recommend to everyone who is planning to stay in Cornwall!

Will be staying again!...Read less.

Me and my family have been coming here for the last six years and it’s improved every year from WiFi to washing machine and dryers the staff are so friendly and very helpful the camp site is very friendly for children and animals the noise is very min must say the camp site is very nice and it’s got a food stand there as well which is nice food...Read less.

Stayed for 9 days as a fishing holiday just me and my dog. Didn’t get to meet the owners which wasn’t a problem as everything was all prepared for me in my arrival to collect. The pitches are large and all very well kept. The toilet/shower block and other facilities were immaculate and very clean ( it’s unfortunate that some people still don’t understand how to flush a toilet or clean it after use !!! There is a great Nellys surf & turf cafe on site, open a few days during the week that serves amazing food but not licensed and only serve instant coffee & tea and it is mainly just an eatery.. the fishing lakes are on your door step but be aware if you want to fish the specimen lake you have to have the right gear or you can’t fish it you have to fish the pleasure lake. If you have a lot of gear your better off taking your car to the pleasure lake as it is a bit of a walk along a gravel road to the venue which is only a5 minute drive. The tackle shop is well stocked and the staff friendy...Read less.

Amazing campsite, the best we’ve been too! Bathrooms facilities are great, warm showers and super clean and smells amazing! The dog paddock was good for our two pups, very dog friendly. Andy was lovely and really helpful, the Crantock pod was brilliant, very cute and cozy. Also loved the book swap in the laundry area, and it was filled with lots of maps and information on Cornwall and things to do; just all round a lovely experience would highly recommend! Definitely check out Nellys on site, we ate 5 times with them both breakfast and tea and every time was incredible. Thank you!...Read less.

This was our 4th stay at Gwinear Camping and Fishing and we will definitely be going again!! Fantastic pitch with view of the fishing lake, large pitch sizes so not crammed in like other sites. Spotless toilets as always. Washing up facilities,washing machines and driers.Great owners/staff. Peaceful site, which is always needed. Close to Newquay town/beaches, roads to other places to explore beautiful Cornwall....Read less.

Immaculate facilities, nice size pitch and the amazing Harry and Jade. Amazing to have food on site, with such a variety. Already booked for next year as great central location for us. Great dog field and lakes to walk round...Read less.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at Gwinear and it was absolutely perfect. The site is ideally situated between Newquay and Perranporth with immaculate large hard standing pitches including electric and water point. The toilet and shower block is a credit to the owners, we could definitely see why they have won awards🥇. The exercise field for the dog was also an added bonus and much appreciated by our four legged friend,again kept immaculate. We had take away from Nelly’s, due to a blip in the weather, which was delicious 😋. We quickly discovered whilst chatting amongst the campers many return year on year, we are also definitely wanting to return next year. 10/10....Read less.

We've been to Gwinear for many years and will continue to do so. The site has grown through love and commitment. It always looks perfectly mown and clean upon arrival. The bins are emptied regularly and the area around them clean and checked. There are dog bins x 2 another would be great near the toilet block. There is an enclosed space for your dogs to run free. A Laundry room with 2 waters and 2 dryers also has lots of information about the local area and a small book swap area. A dog, wet suit area is near the outdoor/under cover sinks. Pitches vary slightly in shape but all are perfect. Fishing, sadly its 9 till 5. I have heard so many on site, this year say, it needs to change to dawn till dusk then be able to go out in the morning, come back after lunch and fish till dusk. Maybe change the specimen lake to a normal lake for those using the site only. People will still be happy to pay and I'm sure it would get more use. The site is a perfect central place to visit all Cornwall....Read less.

This was our fourth trip to Gwinear. The facilities and pitches are still first class. The fishing lakes are beautiful with lots of fun fishing. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Lots of great beaches a short drive away to enjoy the Cornish coastline.

Will return....Read less.

Gwinear is an immaculate site with owners who are obviously very passionate & committed to the site & their guests comfort during their stay. Many visitors stay for extended periods of time & return year on year which speaks itself.

Pitches are spacious & have hedges for privacy

Hard standing's are pretty level too.

I would like the food waste bin at dish wash to be replaced. Inconsiderate guests ignore signs food way only but removing has led to inconsiderate guests leaving the sinks without cleaning up after themselves.

Nelly’s is a fantastic addition the food is outstanding.

I would love to see reception offering a few basic items for sale.

Next year is already booked...Read less.

Stunning camp site, so clean and tidy, really well kept. Shower and toilet blocks are pristine. Staff are so kind and friendly, the food from nellys was so yummy and we returned more than once! Perfect location & we can't wait to return. Thank you Gwinear x...Read less.

Another amazing stay at Gwinear! The campsite as a whole is first class. Central to so many places in Cornwall, but so quiet & chilled. The grounds are like a golf course standard, the toilet/shower block are 5 star hotel standard, the fishing was awesome, and all staff go above & beyond to make your stay perfect. The new addition of the high end food van is a great idea and the efforts of its staff to be a success is shown in the standard of food & service they provide....Read less.
