Best site we’ve stayed at by a long way. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Facilities are spotless. Food amazing! We’ve stayed a couple of times now at Gwinear and loved both times so much that we are now storing our caravan with them as we have no intention of going anywhere else now. Can’t wait till next year....Read less.

thank you all again for a fantastic stay ,the site again was immaculate ,all staff very friendly and cant do enough to please you with any request ,the staff at the fishing tackle shop also very friendly and very helpful, the pond is well maintained and full of carp ,and the prices at the tackle shop are very competitive,

we come every year for the passed 5 years ,now for 3 months of the year ,you are close to all the main attractions, and there is a bus stop just out side the site ,holywell bay is just around the corner ,for those hot summer days on the beach .

look forward to coming again next year .Dave Chris and Millie. thank you to you all for a fantastic stay ....Read less.

Lovely site very well looked after, the staff are very friendly, the only thing that lets it down is the onsite restaurant, they recommended booking in advance however fail to confirm you have to book three - four weeks in advance as it’s so popular with locals, it’s only open four nights a week, no breakfast available, outside seating availability is offered if lucky enough to get booked in...Read less.

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.

Anther lovely stay at Gwinear,this site is so much more than a site for fishermen,excellent big clean pitches,well mentained areas,this site is to a high standard toilets,showers etc problem is keeping to those standards which they do year on year,the site is quiet and relaxing,like to thank Andy and family for giving my wife time to recover from surgery many thanks...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.

The site was always cleaning and well kept. The staff we always friendly and helpful. The amenities were always excellent spotless and available. Good value. The site is easily accessible and near to places of interest and shopping.....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.

Loved everything about the site & the views....Read less.

This was our 6th visit to Gwinear in last 7 years.

Staff are extreamly friendly and helpfull in order to make sure your holiday is 1st class.

Showers and toilets are excellent and cleaned several times a day.

On site laundry, dog & wet suit wash, fishing lakes and tackle shop.

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.

Otherwise an excellent site...Read less.

We enjoyed our stay at Gwinear the location is perfect for visiting Newquay and Perranporth with easy access

The site is very well looked after by the very friendly staff who are always available if you need them

The toilet facilities are always clean and tidy .There are facilities for pot washing shower for wetsuit cleaning and dog shower laundrette and freezer for anyone to use there's an excellent restaurant called nellys on site but it's advisable to book well in advance

The pitches are well spaced out and large enough for caravan and awning car parking and outdoor dining and all hard standing and private there's grass pitches for camping with tents and some camping pods

Thers two fishing lakes one for specimen fishing and one for pleasure fishing and a very well stocked tackle shop

We have stayed here several times before and have booked for next year already...Read less.

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.

I can honestly say Gwinear is the best campsite we’ve ever stayed on, it is immaculate, the bathrooms/showers are better than some hotels, the staff are amazing and so friendly and helpful, campsite quiet and very well placed.

I’ve stayed on many sites over the years and this is the bests. Even if it takes us 7 hours to get there.....Read less.

Very large hardstanding pitches, superb clean toilet and shower facilities. Quiet yet friendly site, no children's play areas. Easy entry and exit onsite resteraunt called Nellys but always fully booked as used by outsiders of the camp. Owners very friendly and always available....Read less.

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.

Thanks for our stay see you next year....Read less.

Stayed here many times and always had a fantastic welcome from Andy, Amy & Tom. Facilities are second to none. Fishing on either the pleasure lake or specimen lake are very good and brilliant tackle shop. One issue is they dont open till 9.00am so no early start One very small downsize is no shop for essentials but sainsbury,s and lidi are a short drive out. Area is lovely and bowgie's inn and smugglers inn have fantastic meals . Lovely beaches are abundance and not forgetting Fistral beach with waves for surfers....Read less.

Great location site we did have issuers this year we have been using the site 5 years immaculate toilets great sized pitches fast internet service! This year standards have dropped no wi fi for nearly 2 weeks toilets not as clean showers tepid! We love this site but I don’t no if it was over booked or what but wasn’t what we usually have still had a lovely time with the weather staff freindly pitch clean and good size....Read less.

Gwinear is an absolutely perfect site.

This was our third time here.

It’s immaculate…… everywhere!!!

Great care is taken over the site each day.

It has all the facilities you need from pot wash to paw wash.

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.

Gwinear is one of those sites you really want to keep a secret but you also want to shout loud about it. We love it and we will definitely be back....Read less.

We had an amazing stay, the staff were so helpful. The grounds were kept tidy and cut and the showers and wash areas were spotless. 100% would recommend to stay hear. The restaurant was lovely and honestly we had an amazing 2 weeks on site. We come every year hear....Read less.

Gwinear is the best site we have stayed at in Cornwall so far, and we’ve stayed at quite a few. Lovely well kept grounds, toilets and showers are spotless.

Didn’t get chance to try the famous Nellys surf n turf van as its was fully booked but that looked and smelled amazing too.

We loved it that much we’ve booked again for next year.

Fantastic site. Couldn’t fault it....Read less.

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!

I would have liked to have seen a small shop on site, just for essential items....Read less.

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.

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.

I can not fault the park its facilities are spotless toilets immaculate the site is always clean and the peace and quiet at night are a welcome bonus compared to some other sites I’ve visited one suggestion could the nellys surf cafe not do breakfast sandwiches this might prove popular just a thought but no criticisms

See you all next year...Read less.

This is our 4th stay at Gwinear and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

It is so lovely and peaceful,the tent plots are really big with electric and water.

The showers and toilets are 5 star,always beautifully clean and spacious.

It is also a great location to drive to all the beauty spots in Cornwall....Read less.

The site is really quiet with very clean facilities. The toilets are amazing. The only criticism I would have is the lack of privacy cubicles in the shower block. Access to the site is really good and Nellies food shack is an added bonus . The owners are very friendly and helpful....Read less.

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.

We will be returning next year for another wonderful stay!...Read less.

The pitchers are excellent plenty of space and the site is kept clean and tidy

Shower block is excellent 5 stars

There is food available on site but unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to use it but looked good

Fishing lakes are well looked after and are more for the serious anglers

Nice field for the dogs to have a run about plus a dog shower

I would of give it 5 stars but the washing up area ie the sinks need a little TLC

All in all if i was going to Newquay again i would definitely go back plus it’s only a very short drive to get to most places and it’s quite many thanks...Read less.

The overall site is well laid out, well maintained and the facilities are excellent. We stayed in a pod, which was perfect. Our only comment would be to ask for a fan.on hot days, as the pod gets the sun in the afternoon and heat builds up quickly inside. But that's just nit picking. We loved it....Read less.

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.

Plenty of beautiful surrounding beaches & restaurants within a short drive.

I would like to see reception selling a few essential items/local produce.

We are looking forward to returning next year...Read less.

Clean quiet and just lovely

Owners super friendly ,just a little bit of heaven for us to recharge and relax

Definitely best site we have been to and we have been to a lot

I want to leave a poor review as think your going to be full and no space for our lot

However just can’t do it

Just a great site

Fishing shop also great and friendly and helpful

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

Great site, staff very friendly and helpfull all amenities very good clean.plenry of space for walking your dog and good area fenced off to let your dog have a run round,gress always been kept in order, good local fish & chips shops & super markets, brill Nellies food place on site....Read less.

Honestly Gwinear is such a little heaven, on arrival the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Our pod crantock was clean, well equipped and everything you could need. The toliet shower block was clean, spacious, well equipped, including the mena disabled toluets my husband used. The washing machine and tumble dryer worked well and the washing up area worked well, the only thing I would add to this area is communal cleaning spray as other campers didn't leave it the cleanest....Read less.

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.
