We stayed over Christmas/New Year 2015/16. The site was easy to find and impressive in that a huge amount of ground levelling etc had been done to make the hardstandings excellent. The welcome was very good and the satellite TV feed to each site was a major benefit for us as it rained every day except Christmas Day. We used our Freesat box but a Sky box would work as well. Access to Fowey was 'interesting' as we took the car through and hit a 20 minute traffic jam caused when the town minibus (a Transit) couldn't get past pedestrians on the main street. We had to wait until the shoppers found somewhere to get off the road itself. It really is that narrow!. Our Xmas lunch was excellent in the St Austell brewery pub in Charlestown. The site is surrounded by tall trees so very sheltered from winds. The owners have put a huge amount of effort into creating a good site and were 'on call' almost all of the time. We have a 575 long van and found no problems in access BUT the way to the site has to be by the instructions given - trying to get there through the town itself would be a nightmare as the very narrow streets also twist and turn.
Official Response:
"Thanks for your second review! For the benefit of future guests; there is no need, whatsoever, to drive through Fowey to reach Fowey CL. The CL is located on the outskirts of town where the roads are sufficiently wide to provide two way traffic. Fowey itself is a charming warren of narrow, one way roads and ancient buildings which attract many thousands of visitors every year. While you can drive through the town we would recommend walking from the CL (0.9 mile) or using the car parks on the edge of town."
