  • 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 swimming coves and surfing waves on Cornwall’s north coast with a stay at Atlantic Reach Resort, a site set 15 minutes' drive away 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 the Lappa Valley steam railway (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 their 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.

What customers say

Generous sites & helpful staff. Clean loos (new ones fab!) & heaps of fun for families (pool, slip 'n' slide). Most loved it, but some found loos a bit old, a bit noisy, and pool bookings tricky.

Liked Everything, greeted by Sam site staff, showed us to our pitches told us what was what, the site is amazing very clean and the new toilet/shower block is exceptionally clean and is very well managed and I’m pretty sure was cleaned every day! The shop (the hut) is open on weekends and does amazing bacon sausage and egg cobs! Lots of bits in the shop too. We visited the pub and it does lovely food and the staff are so friendly! We never used the pool as we went to the beach instead, but it looked clean and lots of loungers, play area right next to it was nice too! We used the slip and slide on Sunday and it was amazing and for the price I’d recommend it for all ages my children were 2 & 5! Washing up facilities are good and the showers were lovely and warm and if your after a cooler shower the accessible bathroom has adjustable tap for that and makes showering with your children as a family so much easier! We never used the arcades but had a look and there’s plenty! Drinking water right next to your pitch aswell! Absolutely loved it and would definitely come back! My son loved the park! We stayed on fistral field!

Disliked Nothing, was really happy with it all. Maybe a suggestion the shop (the hut) could be open during the week? But was handy either way!

Liked The camping are, the shop, the friendliness of the staff, the slip'n'slide.

Disliked Having to pay for WiFi. But it was good as stopped us from trying to be on our phones all the time. So not too much of a dislike really

Local attractions

Look to the local area for animal attractions: the Screech Owl Sanctuary (10 minutes' drive) invites visitors to see all sorts of birds being rehabilitated. There are also creatures to pet at the Camel Creek Family 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…
