Just read on a review that the Marazion site is due for closure. Does anyone know if this is correct and can CAMC sites team confirm or not? Thanks.

yes, it was all grass (what we saw, and where we pitched) but we felt we were totally overlooked, far too many pitches crammed in, too hilly, too far even to get off the site....just not for us ....and i play golf!

as it happens, we got a cancellation to move directly to Seacroft...which was more expensive....but a far nicer location, site more level, less overlooked etc...

we all have different tastes but OH and i knew before we had reached the check in that it probably wasn't for us....after we found a pitch ('twas rammed) that confirmed it.

probably a love it or hate it site.

i think EasyT loves it, we just couldnt im afraid...no worries, we just moved on..

We have not been back to Incleboro Fields since we discovered Seacroft where we go quite frequently. Reluctant to go to a site without hardstandings. Apparently the National Trust don't like gravel pitches and they seem to have some influence? Seacroft is not perfect but certainly it suits us better than Incleboro Fields. At least members have a choice in the same area so it should suit all?

Aren't there hard standings as you go into the site? ie on the up hill side

We’ve only visited once but I think the hardstanding pitches are the few service ones, near the entrance. We rather liked the site and it’s location. If we visit again though we will take bigger ramps, it all seems to be very sloping.

I have to say Seacroft is in my top five sites but then I used a SP at the top end. Close to the town centre and beach and the heated swimming pool was really excellent, we had the 'kids' with us and they enjoyed the bar. We did drive to Incleboro Fields to have a look and it appeared Ok but far too much grass for our liking and it was just too far away from the beach. 

As said good that there is a good choice in a few miles to suit everyone.

Corners, Incleboro has a nice beach within easy walking distance.

Unlike Marazion which isn't really in Marazion. wink

Our HS pitch wasn't serviced. 

In truth, we hated the place and will never return.

In contrast, Marazion is a little gem of peace and beauty, even if you do have to drive to reach the beach.

It is just a pity it is not open a little longer into the year then I would use it in preference to Godrevy.

Like Godrevy, it’s all grass but, whereas Godrevy is on fast draining sandy soil, Marazion is further inland and gets muddy and boggy. I think that's the reason for the short season.
