IMHO it should be sufficient, but practically no router works like this as of 
now, so adding access tags to the roads is safer

Practically I don't think it will work, as it requires much more data to
be processed in the preprocessing - I therefore agree with Martin.

But I think an intermediate solution should and could work:
If all entrances to the area are not accessible (e.g. gates, lift-gates
and such), adding access=no/private to them should work.
Personally I would consider routers to be buggy when they ignore
barriers tagged on nodes of the way, while I would accept them not to do
geometrical calculations between areas and ways.

Keep in mind though, that e.g. for forests often access is only allowed
on the highways that cross it. Access=no at the forest area would -
following your argumentation - imply access=no on any highway crossing
it, which will fail in most situations, because nobody explicitly states
access=yes to the highway in these cases.

absolutely they are buggy. here is one example from my own personal
mapping experience; a public road with a gate intended for access by
emergency services only:

i've seen a couple of features of this sort in the course of
mapping.

Yes, and it shouldn't be a goal to inherit access tags from surrounding areas. 
Even if mappers would consistently set layer=* on the way with the access tags, 
the one encircling that area, so that it would match the roads' layers, it's 
far too easy to have a bridge or anything inside that should, or shouldn't 
inherit the tags. Likely not on the proving grounds, but elsewhere.
