Really lovely site. Extremely peaceful. Well laid out. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Toilet / shower block extremely clean. Great location for visiting Cornwall . Newquay only a couple of miles away. Fishing was excellent and staff in tackle shop very helpful. We will definitely be back...Read less.

Superb pitches and the newer ones are such a good size. The toilet and shower block is always so clean and tidy. The addition of the laundry, wet suit/dog wash and especially the dog exercise field is another real bonus. The fishing lakes are superb and the whole area is beautifully maintained.

Maybe a second chemical toilet disposal if possible in the shower block area ? It’s quite a walk to over to the rubbish/ recycling site for some campers to carry/wheel their toilet cassettes.

Congratulations to Amy, Andy, Tom and the rest of the Gwinear team for all your hard work.

See you soon !...Read less.

Lovely location, ground very well maintained, lovely staff, lovely toilet block although would be better if you could control the shower temperature and for them not to be on a timed button, quite annoying !

We had a great time and will be back,...Read less.

Friendly, helpful greeting and well laid out pitches. It's great that each pitch has its own water tap; makes things much easier. The grounds and lakes are very well maintained and the dog walking area is ideal for off lead games. Although the site is near a main road, it was still very quiet. The low lighting was helpful at night, but did not cause any light pollution, meaning the stars were easily visible.

The toilet/shower blocks were modern and very clean and hygienic. It would be great if there was an additional hand dryer (currently only one) and a hair dryer in the ladies' toilet block.

The nearby Smuggler's Inn was dog friendly and had a plenty of good food on its menu.

Overall, a great place to stay....Read less.

This was the first time we have stayed at this site and we were really pleased we decided to book it. The site is well laid out with good size pitches with your own tap for water. The shower and toilet block is very spacious and spotlessly clean. The shower cubicles are big so plenty of room to dry yourself and change. They are cleaned regularly. There is a good area for you to do your washing up with plenty of hot water. There is even an area to wash your dog or wash wet suits. We also had excellent Wi-Fi in the caravan and phone signal was good. My husband enjoyed fishing on the well stocked lake. Also a great tackle shop with very friendly staff.

Only downside I could make is the long walk to empty the grey water, they could do with a few drains nearer the caravans.

We will definitely use this site again....Read less.

We've camped here in our caravan for years now, and loved every visit. No rowdy groups, just pleasant surrounds and a good sleep to be had. It's close to Newquay and the rest of Cornwall just off the A3075.

The flat pitches are well spaced with electric hook-up and water on every one, with a large fishing pool as their backdrop. Fishing tackle and day tickets are available from the tackle shop by the other fishing pools. We personally don't fish but enjoy the site for it's view over the pond with it's evening sunsets over the water.

The toilet / shower facilities are more than spacious and have free hot water (no 'extras' to pay). Showers are walk-in, wet-room style, complete with baby changing area and disabled wet-room. The outside dish washing facilities that are well covered overhead and there's now a pay as you go laundry room with outside dog / wetsuit cleaning area. There's now FREE WiFi included on site.

Brilliant place and we return yearly without hesitation....Read less.

We had a wonderful stay at Gwinear. The site is well laid out with large gravel hard standing pitches. Plenty of room for caravan, awning, car and outside area. There are plenty of grass areas and an enclosed dog exercise area which is perfect for ball throwing. We had a lot of rain for a few days but there was no puddles as the site is well drained. The toilet block and showers are the best we’ve ever had with huge showers.

The site is very well situated with easy access from the main road so no tricky towing down small lanes. The proximity to the fabulous beaches nearby is second to none.

We will be back! 😊...Read less.

This campsite is immaculate!! Location is great for touring all over Cornwall. Ideal for the fantastic beaches. Huge pitches, spotless toilets,new washing facilities, free wifi. Staff are really helpful and friendly. Definitely booking for next year. Thank you....Read less.

Very well cared for site exceptional clean toilets and showers very quiet for a big site

Andy and all his staff go beyond to help with anything they can if needed

It's very handy site to get to beach by car and central for for travelling into Newquay or Perranporth

I wouldn't say it is suitable for children has its more for fishing and relaxation...Read less.

First class site very friendly staff nothing to much trouble my husband has medical problem so it was lovely to be able to use toilets that were first class and also laundry machines qwinear is in an ideal location for site seeing the fishing lakes are also nice and clean nice just to sit and chill once again very helpful friendly staff the tackle shop is well stocked so make sure you bring plenty of money anything like my husband he always has to buy a little bit more lol looking forward to our next visit...Read less.

Gwinear is always our campsite of choice, the facilities are immaculate, the fishing lakes are so peaceful and the price is very competitive.

The staff cannot do enough for you, they take time out to make sure that you are happy and enjoying your stay.

Gwinear are always considering/implementing new facilities - this year we returned to a new laundrette, dog park & WiFi. (Not the best but still a bonus!).

The cleanliness of the toilets are of that of a hotel!

Thank you Gwinear in always making our holiday so memorable and we look forward to seeing you again next year....Read less.

Very well maintained and clean site. Toilets/showers extremly clean and large. Plots large. Very quiet site. Need a vehicle to drive everywhere as no facilities nearby. Some good pubs within 2miles. Supermarket 2miles local shop 1.5. Most impressive aspect was the WIFI the best on any site we've visted in Cornwall. We would return and recommend....Read less.

Have stayed there in the past a couple of times and hoped to stay again in the future. Unfortunately it was apparently going to be a lot more stormy than had been previously been forecasted. As I was going to be in a tent, my partner worried about the Electrical Storms predicted, and booked for me to stay in a nearby hotel.

My issue is that I sent an email to let them know I couldn't come and (just on the off chance) I might get a small refund but got no reply. I was in a real hurry so didn't have a chance to read the terms and conditions - I felt sure that, as I let them know on the morning of my arrival there could be no refund and was (believe me) COMPLETELY happy to accept this. What upset me is that I got no response whatsoever.

My main reason for emailing initially was really just courtesy to let them know not to expect me. I thought it would only be courteous to respond....Read less.

If you are looking for a quiet, clean, well kept campsite with huge pitches then this is the site for you. There is no pub or shop but that doesn't matter, there are supermarkets close by. Perfect if you have dogs, they even have their own dog field and great if you have children that can make their own fun. Amazing fishing lakes. By far the best toilets I've seen at a campsite. Already looking at dates to book to go again next year....Read less.

Gwinear is a great place to stay

Andy was so helpful from booking till the time we were leaving

The site is well laid out with hard standing pitches

The facilities are modern and very clean

The fishing is really good and the tackle shop is very handy with friendly staff

The site is in a great position being very close to Newquay which has major supermarkets and close to Crantock and Perranporth which have always been favourites of ours

We will def return next year Thanks Andy...Read less.

We always love ❤️ it down here, the fishing is awesome. The site is spotless as usual. The shower block is cleaned regularly and the facilities are second to none.

They probably have the best stocked coarse and sea fishing tackle and bait shops in Cornwall.

It also close to one of our favourite beaches, Holywell bay. So many great memories of family beach days.

All the best from Charlie & Jane. Cya soon...Read less.

We were overwhelmed at how clean and immaculate the site was. The showers were amazing and the best showers at a campsite we have ever used.

We fished 3 days in a row and was great having it onsite and dogs allowed at the lakes.

We will definitely return...Read less.

Your campsite is stunning 5star and more, a warm welcome when we arrived, the toilet and shower block is fist class .as we have been coming to Cornwall for over 40odd years we know that we are coming to a beautiful part of the country, we especially like mawgan Porth and crantock beaches and we always eat at the merrymore Inn and the falcon inn at St mawgan. Value for money is excellent on your site, the standard of you pitches are some of the best we have been to. Thank you and look forward to seeing you again soon. Robert Mcgauley....Read less.

Negatives

Building work nearby. Scenic area but unnecessary noise from unnecessary grass cutting. Promised excellent WiFi which was average. Catering van appeared twice instead of daily. Pot wash facilities left unclean. Toilet paper unable to real out appropriately. Electric went off with no information of reconnection. No help with camping accessories. Pitch unlevel.

Positives

Friendly welcome....Read less.

Fantastic family run site who are very welcoming.

I’ve watched developments to improve the site every year. From the toilet/shower block which is kept clean.

To security barriers put in at the entrance. Local to Newquay and beaches....Read less.

Lovely friendly welcome and very informative talk, pointing out all the park facilities. The site was immaculate, large pitches. The dog and wetsuit wash was a godsend as was the new laundry block. The showers and toilets were spotless, no matter what time of day you used them. We enjoyed the morning coffee cart and the pizza van. We had a really lovely relaxing week and have already booked for 10 days next year. Congratulations Andy, Aimee and Tom, you have a beautiful site to be proud of....Read less.

Cleanliness of the overall site was second to none. The shower block/toilet areas were immaculate.

A small shop on site would be handy for any last minute essentials however saying that Morrisons is only a 5 minute drive.

Gwinear camping is a short drive to the popular fistral beach/perran porth and Newquay town.

A lovely stay all in all and will definitely be returning....Read less.

What a fantastic week away in a spotless, quiet and relaxing location. Couldn't fault any of the facilities they were immaculate. Pitch sizes are huge with plenty of space and lovely views of the fishing lake. 10 minutes car journey into Newquay town which costs around £10. Pizza van visits on a Monday evening and coffee van over the weekend was a lovely touch! I would say the site would have benefited by having a small shop with essential items / food / drink etc.

Thanks for a wonderful stay! Would highly recommend!...Read less.

This is the third time we have stayed at Gwinear and it just gets better the toilets and showers are cleaned at least 3 times a day one being a deep clean so was happy to use them Andy was very helpful as always pitches are perfect and nice and big and very quite from 10pm will definitely be going again this was are view from the tent...Read less.

We were very happy with our reception by the on-site team, the very high standard of the site, pitches etc and the superb washroom, showers, toilet facilities.

A great location for nearby beaches, Newquay and surrounding area....Read less.

Awesome time as allways , a reslky quiet friendly place to stay , the showers and toilets are always so clean love the new addition of the dog field and the dog wash / wet suit facility's,

Just gets better each time i visit...Read less.

We love this site as it has clean modern facilities with large showers and well spaced sinks.

The site is small and friendly with respect for the no noise after 10 rule. It also has easy access to the main road and the fishing lake is superb, we catch all day long!...Read less.

After a year where we thought we wouldn't get a holiday booked we were lucky enough to manage 10 days in our favourite place... Cornwall and Gwinear.

When I booked it people at work were asking for a 'good' campsite in Cornwall, there was no way I was sharing this little gem with anyone 🤣 I can't pitch up next to people from work and there really is no going back when you've been here once. We've been coming for a few years now, staff are friendly and chatty on arrival and leave you to it during your stay. From camping on other sites nearer home, staff are always around which personally I prefer to be left to ourselves and be able to contact them if needed.

The toilets/showers are the main reason we return here, they are always clean and the majority of campers take it upon themselves to keep them that way with cleaning products provided additional to the professional cleaning that is carried out daily.

Perfect location for Newquay, Perranporth, St Ives etc...Read less.

A beautiful site which is near tidy, Andy and the team take great pride in providing great facilities on site. For our holiday we don’t require a complicated busy site with lots going on. On site shop would be fantastic particularly for fresh bread and essential items. The beach car parks are very busy so an early start is needed but we often can’t find fresh bread before we leave for the day! New this year was the pastries and coffee which were very nice but far too pricey and pizza and prawns which again were delicious but too pricy for a family. Toilet block is the highlight until you need a shower. Water pressure and temperature control need fixing as often had a cold shower or on the last day scalded my shoulder. The timed water valves are ok but cause lots of the problems with pressure and temperature.

Joy of a site which is highly recommended and we look forward to our next visit!!...Read less.

We recently stayed at Gwinear campsite, originally booked for 4 nights and quickly extended our stay to 7, thanks to the help and flexibility of the lovely friendly owners. We would have stayed longer if we could have.

Great location making it easy to access Newquay, Holywell Bay, Crantock and beyond.

Spacious pitches with easy access to both water and electric. Fantastic clean, modern toilets and shower block with plenty of large facilities for everyone. Lovely site for anyone wanting to fish with plenty of action on the local pond. Gwinear also offers a great little dog walk along with a fenced off exercise area too.

They had a food van visit at the weekend, offering either breakfast sandwiches or pastries, there is also a pizza van that visits on Monday evenings too (this may change throughout the Season).

The only down side was that you have to use transport as the road is not accessible to walk but we didn’t find this a problem.

WITHOUT A DOUBT WE WILL BE BA...Read less.

Our stay at Gwinear was the first stay at this site, we will now continue to stay here. Andy was always very helpfull and friendly. We found The site quiet and peacfull and enjoyed our stay Site facilities are very good and kept to a high standard. There is visiting street food traders that offer a good variety of food and excellent coffee. All pitches are very large. I liked the anpr on the gate because it made the site feel save. The fishing is also very good and I caught alot of fish. The tackle shop has a good selection of fishing merchandise....Read less.

This is our 2nd year at Gwinear. The site is lovely and clean both around the site generally as well as the toilet blocks/showers/laundry.

Supermarkets are within 5 to 10 mins drive maximum. Beaches within easy reach and Gwinear is a great location for visiting Cornwall. We can find no faults at all....Read less.

The site is lovely and quiet. Amazing toilet block and other facilities on site beautifully clean to a high standard.

It's a quite site and if you have energetic children like me we found it hard to keep them entertained while on site. I know there is nothing for children I understand the vision, but this we found hard towards the end of our stay and might be a decision breaker next time we visit....Read less.

We stayed at Gwinear campsite from 31st July 22 for 1 week, we had seen the campsite on our way into Newquay the previous year and thought it looked well kept. We were not wrong it is a nice size site with well kept grounds and very nice cleanly kept toilet and shower facilities. We are not into fishing but if you are the fishing lakes looked lovely and seemed popular with locals. Our son is a bit old for a play area now but if you rely on one to keep children occupied for a day on site this is probably not for you, but it does mean it has quit a quiet relaxed atmosphere....Read less.

Great location for Newquay and surrounding area. Excellent toilet, shower and wash facilities, clean modern and well maintained. Excellent Wi-Fi, pleasant and welcoming staff. Have booked to return next year....Read less.

What a lovely site so friendly spacious pitches and modern immaculate shower block and toilets facilities.

Just the perfect quiet site and no clubhouse and so no noise which is perfect for us to have a relaxing holiday . So central to Cornwall and in the area of Crantock I have been visiting for over 59 years....Read less.

This was our first time staying at Gwinear and it certainly won’t be our last!! From the lovely warm welcome we received from Tom upon arrival, the fantastic pitch and the beautifully kept, spotlessly clean site and toilet blocks- this was a win all around for us. My husband and daughter went fishing on the pleasure lake which meant that me and my 11 year old daughter could chill out at our tent so kept everyone happy! We especially loved the extra touches like the coffee cart and Ice cream van making visits to the site. We had an amazing week at Gwinear and didn’t want to leave! See you next year for definite!...Read less.

Fantastic campsite with a great shower block. Lovely big pitches. Only two things missing in our opinion:-

1. A closer point to empty your toilet, for us it was the opposite side of the campsite.

2. My children would of loved a play park.

The site was the nearest to a site I would of planned and built myself. Well done a very nice place to stay....Read less.

Staff very very friendly and helpful. Site is well kept and nice and quiet. Last year we had 3 weeks in one go on site and it was brilliant.been for 1 week in August, going back for 2 weeks in September. Grandkids had a great time and the fishing was great.

Ray & Denise...Read less.

I have got to say this is one off the quietest sites I have ever stayed on the site is spotless and the toilets are excellent always clean and the staff so helpful Andy went out of his way to lend me a water hose has mine was not quite long enough to reach back to my van thanks once again the pitches are well maintained and spotless brilliant no plate recognition system in place for the security barrier will definitely be back

Thanks Qwinear for a really enjoyable stay I will be back....Read less.

The site was so clean,the owners was so helpful,the toilets and showers were the best I have used,my husband loved the fishing,close to the beaches,only 1 downfall very close to the road but got use to the drone and wouldn't stop us visiting again.caint wait to visit again....Read less.

Gwinear is an excellent site. A great base to explore all cornwall. The showers and toilets are spotlessly cleaned, regularly. Good enclosed dog walk. Laundry facility and dog wash area is a bonus too.

Fishing is great, but unfortunately only opened 9am till 5pm. Dusk till dawn I believe would bring in more custom.

This is a site, I believe for adults, as there is no children's area. There are so many beaches to visit in the area, dog and child friendly. Jump in a car and explore all of Cornwall from here it's so centrally located on the west coast.

Pitches are huge and the price extremely reasonable.

The owners always make you welcome keep the site clean and grass areas mowed beautiful. They will always stay for a chat and willing to help if needed....Read less.

I picked this campsite due to the good reviews online and it didn’t disappoint. The campsite provides a spacious site for your tent and the campsite it is small enough so that you don’t have to trek to get to the toilets/showers. These facilities were very good and clean. It’s situated just ten minutes out of Newquay which was really handy for getting to restaurants and shops. The price was good value and the staff who own the campsite and work there couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Looking forward to a return stay in the future....Read less.

Easily accessible as on main road but this does mean you hear road noise day and night. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the site felt very secure as entry is by number plate recognition. Showers and toilets are clean. If I have to find a negative its that you can't alter the temperature of the water and its annoying that it cuts off so quickly. The tackle shop on site is excellent and the lakes are really good. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to others who want a quiet family site that has excellent fishing and good clean amenities...Read less.

i have to say we add the best stay ever ,i would even say my best holiday ever ,the site was emasculate, toilet blocks was like something out of a 5 star hotel in Dubai ,all staff very helpful ,polite, nothing was to much trouble .

the fishing lakes again well maintained ,well stocked ,must have been good my wife of 39 years took up the sport of fishing ,

we booked again for September ,

so if you would like a quite very relaxing well maintained with excellent toilet blocks holiday gwinear is the place to stay

thank you again mr mrs page hull...Read less.

Two concerns the distance you have to go to dispose of grey waste, and the showers were never very hot and had no temperature regulators. Toilet block was always very clean, also the Wi-Fi was excellent best Wi-Fi we have ever had on a site....Read less.

I have been camping at this camp site for 4years, it is very clean site and the toilets are unbelievable clean. The owners of this site should be proud of what they have achieved.

I will definitely be going back.

The lake is beautiful and my husband and son just love fishing here....Read less.

My husband and I spent 11 nights on this fav campsite. the owners are very approachable and helpful they are lovely people. the site is spotless in every way. A beautiful spotless shower block the best ive ever seen. Plenty of hot water And cleaned to the highest standard. You wont be dissapointed if you book this sight. All the pitches are level and very spacious. We will definately return and would highly recomend it. My husband is a fisherman and the fishing lakes are lovely. He was happy he caught loads of fish and even around the big lake it is kept lovely and clean. Also a fishing shop onsite with loads of things in it....Read less.

Had a lovely stay at Quinear, apart from weather. Immaculately clean facilities. Nice big pitches, . Owners are friendly and have obviously put alot of time and effort to make this the step it is . 10 out of 10....Read less.

another wonderful holiday at gwinear. The new additions of the laundry room and the Barrier at the entrance are superb. our dogs also had great fun in the new enclosed dog field. The site is beautifully kept and the owners are always friendly and helpful -nothing is to much trouble for them. we have already booked for three weeks next year , we can't wait to return to this delightful sight Colin and vivienne...Read less.

Gwinear is the most perfect site, the team maintain it to an excellent standard, the pitches are wide and the grass is kept cut.

The staff are friendly & approachable, they work hard to keep everything just so.

Just one minor constructive feedback: the water in the gents showers is scalding hot, you wouldn't be able to put a child or elderly person under it, likewise, the ladies shower water was quite cold, just a minor "mixer" issue I guess.

Thanks for a perfect holiday, well done....Read less.

Excellent campsite, very clean, large pitches and lovely facilities. The staff were amazing. We don't fish but walked round both fishing ponds that were beautiful. The site is close to morrisons supermarket, Newquay and Perranporth...Read less.

The new entrance barrier and ultra modern toilet/shower block gives this site a quality feel. It’s location is ideal for exploring the local beaches and restaurants . The staff were incredibly helpful with a quick check in process and ideas for local attractions and restaurants. The new Chip shop at Cubert proved to be amazing. We have booked again and can’t wait to get back down to Cornwall....Read less.

This is an excellent site? We have been caravaning for 30 years and rarely repeat the same site yearly but this is our third return in succession. The site is close to so many beaches and coastal walks that it should suit any holiday maker? We are now discussing our return for next year?...Read less.

Beautiful site in a fabulous location only a few miles from several beautiful beaches. Large pitches, outstanding shower/toilet block. Site felt very safe and secure. Cannot find fault with anything, had an amazing stay and will definitely be back.

Thank you to the team at gwinear for maintaining such a high standard...Read less.

Great site very friendly & helpful staff , very clean , Great pitches , fantastic facilities toilets spotless . Brilliant area Great for visiting beaches Perranporth & Newquay & still reasonable distance to truro & supermarkets...Read less.

Cannot fault this site at all friendly staff, spotless toilets and well kept site first class only thing that could improve site would be a shop with essential provisions, but things don’t happen overnight maybe in future,...Read less.

The whole site is lovely , beautifully maintained, great facilities which are really clean. The added bonus of an enclosed dog e exercise area this year too. We've stayed here twice now and will definitely return....Read less.

We stayed at Gwinear Camping site over the Jubilee bank holiday for 3 nights and had a lovely time.

The pitches are well spaced out and the facilities are clean, easily accessible and modern.

There’s a dog walking field which was great!

Staff are on hand for tips on routes to local beaches and always happy to help. Can’t wait to return....Read less.

A really great campsite. The facilities are fantastic - really clean. Lovely hot showers. Pitches are spacious, but if you are in a camper these are stoned pitches, so being a carpet for your awning. Great location just outside of Newquay. Great little dog walking area.

Would definitely recommend...Read less.

My 3rd time at this site , it just gets better , toilets and showers are so clean and its nice to have cleaning products near the sinks, large pitches with lots of space for awnings , love the new dog walking field and washing machines , this is a lovely place to stay, nice and peaceful and relaxing, near to all the best beaches and some pretty decent pubs , highly recommended,...Read less.
