can anyone give me any information as to why ,, pitches for tents are charged by the size and berth of your tent ? I understand the fundamentals i.e ,,, size and space = less or more tents on site .. so I arrive at my point , I have an horizon 8 tent with side extension ... the 8 bit ,, correct me if I m wrong means berth which also equates to persons ,, who can comfortably sleep in the tent ,,, with me so far ? I don't mind paying for a pitch for a larger tent because it is a larger tent which incidentally is an 8 berth tent ,, why then do campsites feel the need to also charge me for children ,, most campsites charge is inclusive of 2 adults ,, anything over that is an extra ,,, hmmmmm ,,, I have an 8 man tent which I am paying extra for already ,, why am I getting charged for my children to take space up in my 8 berth tent that I have already payed extra for ,, what with it being a large tent and taking up a large amount of space ,, enough for 8 people in fact ,,,,, why oh why is this the common policy on most sites ,,, anyone had this problem or shed some light as to why this practice happens ,, please let me know ,,,
if I wanted to camp just with my wife I would of bought a 2 berth tent,, but I want my children to be future campers ,, don t u get this campsites !!!!

Yep, what brickiemum said. Not all sites charge the same way, vote with your feet and find one you prefer. We once were looking into one, and they wanted £12 per night for the tent on its own, and then occupants were charged accordingly. Now, im not being funny, my Vermont is very very good, but it is NEVER gonna walk itself to the site and pitch itself, so it seemed like a really silly way of pricing, to us. Needless to say we didnt go there, and wont ever be, while the price structure remains that way. Luckily for us, there are an abundance of other lovely sites whose charges make sense :)

I think the occupancy charge is to do with use of facilities, heat and water etc. size of tent charge to do with amount of tents the can get on the site.
I have to say there are some pricing systems that confuse the heck out of me
You're not kidding!
Started getting a price for a site once. Started out being £10 per night, but by the time we had added up for two adults, one insane dog, one car, one trailer and leccy, it ended up being £29 per night! 
Sod that! 
We're off to Rushmere farm at Coleford next weekend. Tent is free, car is free, trailer is free, insane dog is free, just £6 per person and £4 a night for leccy.
Even I can work that out

I've heard it all. I've seen it all. I've done it all. I just don't remember any of it.
