Thanks for advice.

I haven't been myself but if you download 'Google Earth' then enter the campsite post code, you can enter the street view and visually see for yourself what the entrance visually looks like.
I have had a look myself and maybe a little tight with a twin axle caravan but no problem if you take a bit wider swing just the same as a lorry would.

I drove past it a few weeks ago, as it looks a nice site, but the entrance put me off for a twin axle

Not been, but just had a look at the campsite (nosy as ever!) And then at the reviews. The most recent review is from a tent camper - their words are 'a small narrow entrance leads into the campsite'. I suppose this would make me think twice. Have you thought of calling the campsite?

Used the site several times,We have a 2 berth and it is very tight to go up and down the track,
We checked it out without the van first to see if we could get the van down.
The last visit we did end up scratching the car and van.
There is one bit where it has stone posts so the owners cant make it any wider,
This is a nice site for a very quiet relaxing break.
