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.

I didn't get one of either of those when booking my sites, but did get a "proper job" from one of the site owners, but I guess it was a Devonian who used the phrase!! πŸ˜Š

😁 I have a Cornish Rose called “Proper Job”. Gorgeous deep crimson.

Its seven years since I last saw Hayle, they were just building the Asda. It’s another area getting the yuppification, much like Fowey did, St Mawes did. Mixed blessings I guess. When we first visited Fowey in the early 1980’s, it was a lovely, but proper little town, with thriving local shops providing life’s staples such as a butcher, baker, newsagent, book shop, etc.... The butchers is still there, but many of the other shops are now swanky cafes, gifts shops, clothes shops, very tourist reliant. Stunningly beautiful location though......πŸ₯°

☹️😒 Might have to make the most of this lovely little Site. It’s possible closure isn’t much to do with the Estate, more that the Club isn’t making enough money from it, apparently it’s had a reprieve, mainly due to Covid staycation bookings being very good. But how long will this last? It’s full at the moment, and boy are they packed in.
But seems two factors are creating a perfect storm. It’s grass, so suffers in adverse weather, and today’s touring types simply want to pull in, park up without any fuss, so it’s not getting as many visitors as they either cannot, or don’t want to use grass. Given that is currently full of MH’s, and some very big ones at that, if it rains, we could be in for some very interesting on Site viewing.
Glad we got to come back here, it’s a lovely location, one of the Club networks last few remaining “proper sites”. Pitch black at night, owls hooting, quiet most of the time, and currently a great price. Never has “use it, or lose it” been so apt.πŸ™‚

Hundreds of grass camping sites exist, the problem with CAMC is packing too many pitches onto a site leaving no room to manage weather events. I think "grass" isn't really the excuse, otherwise Godrevy and St Agnes Beacon would also close. I hope Marazion gets a genuine reprieve if that is possible.
