We were recommended this site by a friend who had previously stayed and really enjoyed it.

We stayed for 11 nights. Staff are great, really friendly and helpful.

The site is well maintained, lovely grounds and pitches are a good size. There is a secure dog exercise field that was great for our dog.The toilet/shower blocks are clean, the showers are push button but they do stay on a decent time and are hot.

There is a bus stop near the site it’s about 10 minute walk away. We used the bus a couple of times but then hired a car which I think is needed.

Pitches are not fully serviced, no grey waste on the pitch. The disposal point is at the side of the shower blocks. There is only one Elsan point which is quite a walk if you are pitched at the opposite end of the site but was not a problem.

We have booked again as it’s perfect for us,peaceful and a great base for exploring the area.

Our only recommendation would be another Elsan point and dog waste bin.

Thanks,see you next year....Read less.

Clean, modern, level site with everything you need to camp. Close to bus stops servicing Newquay area, great links for walking coastal path. Very reasonably priced per night with EHU & WiFi included. We have paid significantly more for less service. Location was great and although close to main road there was no noticeable traffic noise on site. Worth taking supplies with you as no local shop. Showers were hot and ran long enough to actually complete a hair wash without having to keep pressing the button! Staff friendly and accommodating. BUT if you want to eat in Surf n Turf Book in advance, in mid September they were still booked up for 4 weeks!...Read less.

A delightful site with private pitches. All amenities very close by. The toilet block was always incredibly clean we particularly liked having the doggy wash area after our beach days. The two fishing lakes are also a great added bonus whether you want to fish or have a pleasant walk around. The family also enjoyed staying in the two pods. Although basic they had fun staying in them. Thank you to Debbie for her warm welcome again. We will defy be returning next year for our third visit....Read less.

Our first time at Gwinear & won't be our last. The campsite is spotlessly clean, well laid out, spacious & wonderfully peaceful.

The Staff are fantastic, helpful, accommodating, knowledgeable & humourous ( it makes a difference!)

The pitches were large, well spaced out & the facilities were spotless! How anyone can say less than 5* I don't know. Showers were huge & had disabled facilities for both toilets & showers. Laundry room & dog/Wetsuit wash a huge bonus.

Make sure you read all the info before turning up unlike some idiots (👋) fully serviced pitches still require grey waste containers.

It is super dog friendly with an amazing secure field & seperare woodland area walk, however dogs are not allowed to be left unattended in the caravan ( again a point I hadnt read before arriving) that was honestly the only small downside as limited me to where I could go, but understand why the rule is there.

Reduced rates for fishing too.

Small fenced dog exersize field.

Well maitained site and pitches and good free wifi

It would be better if the main fishing lake stayed open till dusk so you could take the kids fishing in the evening, it currently closes at 5pm.

We have stayed a few times now and always found it an amazing experience, friendly staff from all round, my partner and son fish regularly and it's also dog friendly too all over so means we can stay together. Lovely dog fields to use and walks around the camp site. Toilets and showers AMAZING! Lovely quiet camp site, clean and everything is close. Staff at the fishing shop are great, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. This is definitely a regular for us now, shops, pubs, beaches etc are only a short drive away so handy you don't have to travel far. Pitches are a good size with plenty of room and even better all separated by hedges so you do have some privacy. Can't recommend this enough! Absolutely value for money....Read less.

Dear Anthony,

thank you for taking the time to post a review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday with us.

Nelly's is a separate business to Gwinear and has become unbelievably popular with campers and the general population. If its possible they will offer a 'drop in' service on a first come basis which usually means being at the 5pm opening. Or they will do take aways if their bookings allow. We always advise to book before you arrive, preferably a month in advance. Even we can't get seats lol! They even had someone drive from Bristol the other week just for lunch.

You can follow them on Facebook and Instagram and they have mobile numbers and email address to contact them.

We have stayed previously many times and really enjoyed our stay, the pitches are pristine and level. The shower blocks are superb. The peace and quiet and Tranquility is just unreal..

My only problem with the Site this year is that the new edition from last time I was here Nellys it doesn’t serve a purpose for the Camp Site and I don’t see why it’s there if you can’t even order a portion of chips to go with your evening meal so seriously, what is the purpose of Nellys? .

The fishing side as good as ever Top lads always looking out for you and giving great advice to both sea And course fishing.

All staff are really helpful even on site as well as the fishing and always happy to help. Highly recommend this site and we will definitely be staying again next year with family that stayed with us as they like it that much they are also getting a caravan to join us next year.

Dear Jamie,

Thank you for your review and comments regarding the facilities and fishing.

Nelly's is not a part of the Gwinear business. So , their menu and how they provide a hospitality service is outside our control. I believe it was always intended to offer the local population and other visitors to the area an alternative to fast food. To that end it has excelled in its provision . We even had someone drive from Bristol for lunch last week. Nelly's is open all year round and has become a firm favourite in Cornwall becoming one of the Top 10 small restaurants in the county.

If you wish to dine with them at the moment there is a 4 week lead in, its that popular. So if you wish to sample their meals be sure to book well ahead of your arrival. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.

If you wish to purchase a portion of chips there is an excellent fish and chip shop just a couple of miles away in Cubert.

Kindest regards

Dear Highway,

many thanks for taking the time to post your review. We apologise if you found the service not to our usual standard. We have indeed had internet issues over the first half of August which caused us a lot of issues and not just the wifi.

The last week in July and first two in August have been extemely busy and the traffic through the facilities has been enormous. Usually first thing in a morning and after 7pm seem to be the highest. Toilet facilities are cleaned daily but sadly not everyone leaves them as others wish to find them. The water temperature is maintained at the legally agreed temperature but we appreciate as its been so hot it may have seemed cooler than normal.

Pitches are a great size and very well maintained.

Owners are incredibly helpful. We forgot the awning pump and they really went out of their way to find one for us.

The lake is beautiful and although we don’t fish we enjoyed walks around it.

This site appears to attract really lovely fellow campers and caravaners who are very respectful of each other and the site rules.

A friendly greeting on arrival was nice, and my first impression of the site, was that it was immaculate and well run. The pitch was a good size, and I noticed that each electric hook up point had a water tap next to it, so no one had to walk far to fill up.

The toilet/ shower block was absolutely superb, the best camp site toilets I’ve ever seen.

The fishing lakes were well maintained and a decent tackle shop with friendly and helpful staff.

The site is conveniently located within a few minutes drive to Newquay and all the beautiful beaches in the area, making it a perfect place to stay for surfers as well as anglers.

The automated security barriers instilled confidence that anything left in a tent/awning would most likely be safe.

I didn’t use the on site restaurant, as it was fully booked during my stay, so it must be good!

Dear John,

We love Gwinear all the staff are so helpful and friendly , its in the prefect location for getting around cornwall, everything is spotless from the grounds to the toilets, we visit with small children so the washing machines were tested they work well and if you want to hide from them while you do your washing theres a chair and a book self in there. Great value for money considering the standard of the site. It’s only 10 minutes from newquay and about 20minutes from truro. Nellys surf and turf cafe located on the site is a must visit but i would book well in advance of your trip to be sure to get a spot. If you need a shop but don't want to go into newquay the shop in goonhavern is perfect has everything u need and isn't over priced and theres a new cafe opened just next door too. You will not be disappointed if your stay at Gwinear....Read less.

Dear Sarah,

thank you for your wonderful review. We are so pleased that it met your family's needs. Just to note for next time there is also another local shop in Cubert, also a Londis , with a post office, fish n chip shop and a lovely little bakery next door that's also worth a visit and much closer than Goonhavern.

Looking forward to welcoming you back in season 2027.

Brilliant campsite, our third but by no means final visit, we regularly come to Cornwall, but are so glad we came across Gwinear, the location is perfect . Easy access and local for travel to all our favourite beaches, but also to main roads when out sightseeing.

Immaculate pitches , the best toilet/ shower and pot washing facilities. Large cubicles where they even supply dettol wipes, disinfectant and cleaning cloths, so you can leave sinks lovely for the next person . ( wish all campers would use them!) .

The best welcome we have ever had on a site in 31 years of camping, really helpful and friendly.

Cleanliness is superb and no silly closing times like you get on several sites.

We don't fish, but the ponds and wildlife are lovely to watch.

Already booked our return next year. Thank you Gwinear xx...Read less.

Access to the site is excellent for caravans, as the entrance road is wide and easy to navigate.

On arrival, as always, we were greeted by a friendly member of staff, which made us feel very welcome.

The gravel pitches are spacious, with plenty of room for a caravan, awning, car and additional camping equipment. Each pitch has its own water supply and electric hook-up, which is great.

Overall, the site is clean, tidy and very well maintained. However, on this occasion the dishwashing area let it down. Each time we visited the sinks, there was food left behind by previous users, and one sink appeared to have what looks like red paint on the inside, this was unpleasant and disappointing, and not the usual standard we've come to expect.

The fishing lake is also well maintained, and the reduced fishing fee for campsite guests is a welcome bonus. The staff are, as always, friendly and helpful.

Despite the issue with the dishwashing area, we enjoyed our stay and would happily...Read less.

Dear Geraldine and John,

thank you for taking the time to write a review. Your comments are very welcome. We apologise for the outside sinks, They are cleaned daily however highest traffic is usually the evenings and our staff have finished for the day.

Upon arrival we remind clients that should they see anything not to their liking anywhere on site and in particular the facilities please let us know immediately so that we can correct this.. Of course it would be helpful if users left the sinks as they would wish to find them.

As a team we are saddened that this has marred your experience with us.

We have just spent our 6th year at Gwinear. We return yearly as the facilities are excellent and it’s a family run business. The grounds are maintained to a high standard and the showers/toilets are of an excellent standard. We like the location of the campsite and the fact that it is quiet and relaxing, I believe this to be the case as there are not many families with children that stay (which is what we prefer). The pitches for camping are very spacious and there is a lot of room/privacy between them.

Our 3rd visit to this quiet well managed, well maintained site. Although just of an A road noise is not an issue.

Showers & loos were always very clean. Pitches are spacious with hedges for privacy.

Some inconsiderate people not cleaning the washing up sinks after use makes it unpleasant for the people following them. Not the owner’s fault as they are cleaned daily. I’m afraid inconsideration by others is something that you have to put up with when touring.

The owners are always friendly, helpful & want to hear about any issues.

Nelly’s food is excellent & reasonably priced. An excellent addition to the site.

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.

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.

Dear Nicky

Delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. travelling around the area during the summer can be challenging but I believe the local bus services are very helpful and scenic.

As you said Nelly's surf and turf is so popular booking prior to arriving is often essential. They will do take aways as well.

Kind regards

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.

Dear Teri

Thank you so much for your kind review. We're so pleased that you enjoyed it and hope you'll visit again.

We don't provide kettles due to possibility of burns and scalds but that doesn't mean someone can't bring their own. It is always more difficult if the weather is poor .

Best wishes

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.
