What customers say
This small, quiet campsite offers stunning bay views from its decking area and a communal summer house with a fridge. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are consistently described as very clean and well-maintained. The site's location provides easy access to New Quay, although the walk back up the hill is noted. While some found the limited number of showers a drawback, the peaceful atmosphere and friendly owner are frequently praised. Suitable for couples or solo travellers, with some pitches better suited for smaller setups.

Cracking site
Electric gravel and hardstanding campervan pitch (no awning)
Liked Amazing views from the decked out seating area. Nice lounge area with communal fridge plus plenty of plug sockets.
Clean toilets and showers.
Lovely walk down to the harbour and beach- very steep back up though.
Disliked Pitch number 2 has a great view but make sure you bring a long ehu lead as my 10 meter one ended up stretched out like a washing line, but all was well as the lounge had plugs and work tops for me to use my fridge/appliances.

We loved everything about Bay View…
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We loved everything about Bay View camping site! We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 9yo & 5yo). We camped in Bay 4 with electric and we had the best 5 days there! Facilities were always immaculate. We spent one evening in the summer house watching a film on our laptop, ate breakfast every morning on the sun terrace benches and never queued for a shower. It's only a 10 mins walk downhill to newquay town too. Jon the owner was really kind and helpful! Would 100% recommend and we have already planned to come back next year for another week!
