We haven't bought anything specifically low wattage for camping but like other people have mentioned we try to use one electrical appliance at a time so as not to trip the whole site.
I copied the following from another post some time ago as I thought it might come in handy. If it's wrong don't shoot the messenger as I only copied it myself!!!
10amp = 2300 watts
16 amp = 3680 watts
6 amp = 1380 watts
Most appliances have the wattage details on them so it's just a case of doing the maths. Good luck

If you have a problem stressing you, sort it. If you can't, there's no point worrying about it coz it won't make a blind bit of difference!!!! Jules

We are going camping for the first time over the bank holiday. I have just ordered a EHU off ebay, it will come in handy for the kettle, light, ds' dvd and ds. I will need to get an electric coolbox, as i need to take milk for ds' bottles.
We are really excited, never camped before, so it will be an adventure. lol.
Hiya, Just reading your post, please be careful with anything you have ordered of ebay, unless it is a proper EHU. I seriously considered getting one from ebay when I seen the price ie £20 as opposed to £50 but after looking on this site I changed my mind, I have two young kids and would never forgive myself if anything happened just cos I wanted to save £30. As it happens I have not bought it yet been away twice now and not needed it so far....! Sorry if I sound a bit doom and gloom but please read some of the stuff on the site about the safety of the cheap hook ups and let it be and adventure for all the right reasons! x

Take what you feel you will need to enjoy your holiday. Light, Heat (if required), and entertainment if you feel the need for DVDs, telly etc. Its your holiday, so pay no attention to these "camping ettiquete police" that seem to crop up on these posts oh so often. If these people want to live like cavemen or women thats up to them, they shouldnt be lecturing the rest of us. I get so angry at their old fashioned attitudes. NOT EVERYONE WHO USES ELECTRIC IS ANTISOCIAL, THUGS, CHAVS OR LAYABOUTS.

Cool campers use Delta Pegs.

I don't want to go on my debut trip now without EHU. I daren't mention it to hubby - he'll only tell me it's 'not proper camping'!
We manage a fridge and kettle and with the rest of the paraphenalia there is no room for a spare matchbox. we are 5, in a khyam ultimate classic and a renault espace grande. No roof box mind you, roof is the preserve of surf boards, body boards and windbreaks.!!
