  • Spacious family-friendly resort close to Cornwall’s northern coast
  • A 15-minute drive from Newquay’s Watergate Bay and Fistral beach
  • Pools, pub, café, activities, playground and gym
Bag your family a break near the best swimming coves and surfing waves on Cornwall’s northern coast with a stay at Atlantic Reach Resort, a 15-minute drive from Newquay’s Watergate Bay, Fistral beach and Lusty Glaze beach. This niftily located park is also close to the main A30 road for touring the area’s kid-friendly attractions, like the Screech Owl Sanctuary and Dairyland Farm Park (10 minutes' drive), and is chock-full of facilities to keep the kids busy (like splashing in the indoor and outdoor pools). Got any get-up-and-go left after chasing small guests around the playground for hours on end? Stroll over to the modern gym and sign up for one of the 80 classes running per week. There are extra activities that guests can book on site during your stay like segway adventures, laser tag games and, in the summer months, a huge slip and slide ride. If just reading about all these activities has you wanting to dive under the duvet, not to worry – the site is designed for chillouts too with spacious, open grounds to rest in the open air, a café serving barista-brewed coffee for a calming morning cuppa and a pub selling food as well as drinks for relaxed family meals.

Liked: Great campsite with everything one would need. The staff were really kind and helpful. We ended up staying in a lodge due to a storm & the staff were great when we asked if there was any availability. The lodge was lovely and clean and had all the basics that suited us. Comfortable beds. Very happy with our stay and would love to return again. Highly recommended.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: The friendly and welcoming wardens

Disliked: Everything else. 1. None heated shower blocks that felt like prisoner cell block H old and rusty too. 2. Everything was closed and bleak. 3. Hard standing was nothing more than a thin strip of gravel full of weeds. 4. Swimming pool and leisure centre barely available and closing all the time. 5. Internet was an extra £5 per day! 6. No security on the gate anyone could drive in.

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Where do we begin …….. upon arrival looked good , then to find the bar closed that night for the season . This was not pointed out to us on pitch up or upon arriving. It’s not on a bus route despite what they say don’t believe them . Showers were filthy . The warden that was on the touring side of things was very rude . To us was like a consentration camp . We walked the dogs round the complex very dated very untidy . We were that unhappy we left early . We are not usual complainers but feel the money we paid for this site was over rated . Hence to say we will not be returning

Local attractions

Look to the local area for animal attractions: the Screech Owl Sanctuary invites visitors to see all sorts of birds being rehabilitated, while the Dairyland Farm Park lets kids ride the ponies (both 10 minutes' drive). There are also creatures to pet at the Camel Creek Adventure Park (15 minutes) – plus rides and a 5D cinema – and underwater specimens to gaze at in Newquay’s Blue Reef Aquarium (20 minutes). While you’re here, it would be remiss not to veer towards some of the finest surfing beaches in Cornwall: head to Watergate Bay and Fistral beach (15 minutes) with a board in tow to channel your inner Californian or just bring the kids for some sandcastle-building and paddling sessions. Nippers generally also appreciate rides on the Lappa Valley steam railway, starting from 15 minutes away and ending at the East Wheal Rose leisure area, and are pretty fond of jaunts around Newquay Zoo (15 minutes). Adults, meanwhile, tend to prefer making a beeline for places like Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm (20 minutes) for obvious reasons…
