Newquay Campsites and attractions?

Question

Hi this summer I was hoping to book into a campsite in Newquay for a short surfing holiday with some friends.

Im 16 so obviously the campsite would need to take under 18's. I was looking for somewhere with good facilities that has a friendly atmosphere and tollerates noise, but is also civilised and not too wild.

I want to be as close as possible to surfing beaches such as Fistral. I was thinking about the campsite called 'Rosecliston' does anybody know what this is like? how close is it to the beach ? would I mannage to book their ? Or do you have any other suggestions? what is the nearest site to the best surfing beaches?

Also if you have any information on where to visit for youngsters, anything at all I would be very greatful

Answer 1

Hi, Im a regular at Newquay absolutely love the place! 'Rosecliston' is a campsite for singles and couples,no kids allowed so should be great fun with your mates but I'm not sure about age limits but shouldn't see it as a problem as you're classed as an adult at 16. It's just off the main road into newquay and is about a mile away so if you really wanted you could walk into town. As for Newquay, its catered for all with loads of wicked surf shops/bars/arcades/fair/sealife centre etc. Fistral beach is close to the town centre so shouldn't be difficult to walk it, there's also a beach called "watergate bay" which is a bit further out but has some great surf without the bustle of Fistral but if you're young you'll love the atmosphere at Fistral. The main beach in the town(can't remember what its called sorry but you'll know it when you get there) has a great surf school called "Reef" which is really cheap to hire boards and learn how to surf. You can also fish off the cliffs if you're into that so I don't think you'll be bored there. Hope this helps and have a great time!!
