Likewise birdman101, I always check local road access on Google streetview/earth.
I tow a decent sized caravan, which means complete outfit doesn't fit into most passing places anyway even it they do exist, and I'm usually without passengers and have no reversing camera on caravan, so any reversing has to be done blind/with mirrors and without assistance, therefore I'll avoid as much as possible access that is likely to require me to reverse any distance. I've encountered far too many people coming the other way who's driving skills are so woefully inadequate they simply cannot reverse a solo car and the expectation is always that I reverse my car-caravan outfit!
Beyond any access notes provided by the campsite, I've not found a better method of evaluating access to a site. Any sites beyond a mile down a single track road and I dismiss them and look for somewhere else, it's a gamble that I don't meet anyone coming other way on that mile of single track road, but Google streetview/earth and where the road goes to/comes from gives some idea of chances. So far, it's a method that has worked OK.
Devon, with it's very high hedge on top of embankment lanes has to be one of the most challenging drives, as you rarely get to see in advance what is coming other way, and you really cannot edge off the tarmac to squeeze past!

we live in s rural area and are used to fairly narrow lanes, but appreciate that Devon’s stone banks are to be respected!
