On reading the reviews Initially this looked like a very good site to visit over looking the sea but this is a site located right on the top of a hill between 2 villages with very steep roads and sharp bends to negotiate, which on leaving makes the access out quite daunting to novice caravaners as it is all uphill and in Boscastle there is a sharp turn which if traffic is coming down makes the road quite tight. No mention of these steep hills anywhere that I could find in previous reviews. The site its self is more geared to adults as there is no facilities close for young families unless they like watching the rabbits ( enjoyable to watch though ) There is nothing nearby to do on an evening if you wanted to get away from the site unless you drive 2 miles either way. Pizza van on a Thursday was the highlight. Lack of basics at the reception ( small shop). I cannot knock the cleanliness of the showers/toilets etc and never a shortage of hot water although careful where you pitch as it can be a fair walk to the shower block. Also as the site is quite open if the weather turns as it did whilst we were there you may not be able to erect your awning as the wind and rain is very strong. One fellow caravaner's awning uprooted and was nearly lost. The staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. They maintained the piches and servcie areas. Although we had a nice time we would not have gone in the first place and would not be looking to go again mainly because of the access issues.

Reading your review on access roads, it seems you didn’t come in on the recommended route (B3266), if you had you would have avoided the sharp turn coming out of Boscastle. We have done the route you may have taken and I agree it is not the easiest route to a CAMH site. If this route in concerns you then don’t consider driving to Start Bay in Devon (fantastic site terrible and narrow access down the A376 which is also a bus route)

Thanks for your comment, we did actually come in on the B3266 as per the CAMH directions which we did not find an issue as it was down hill, it was this same road ( which we did check at reception that this was the best and correct road to return home on) that caused us concern, which as I stated if CAMH makes you aware of the steep roads before booking gives you the choice to book or not in the first place.

Thanks for the advise on Start Bay
