Went camping both bank holidays. If you pick a good site which is well organised you can find that camping on bank holidays can be good fun. I would always rather go midweek but that burden called work means that bank holidays are holiday days that have to be used by a lot of people and some cannot pick and choose to go midweek.

I have never found any rowdy behaviour but there again if you do not research your destination you've only yourself to blame if you choose an inappropriate site- it's never happened to us.

We've just come back from Bracelands in Forest of Dean. I would say in terms of space it was fully to capacity but great in terms of room for tents and distance between units etc. The only issues were that it took so long to book in and the facilities were completely overloaded.

I too was not sure about camping BH, but as friends said they wanted to come I had to compromise.

We stayed at Shamba, St Leonards in Dorset. We were lucky enough to get extremely large pitches on overflow non ehu camping fields opened for the first time this year (or so I was told). The main site seemed to have much smaller pitches with awnings practically on top of each other, so I would try and avoid that.

There were plenty of spaces left in the camping fields which were well marked out. Only had a problem with noise for a bit one evening and I think that may have been local youths rather than any residents.

We practically had the indoor (outdoor if weather good enough!) swimming pool too ourselves too on the Monday!
