Hi Alex  we are also a family with young children (last year ours were: 8, 6, 3 and 1, this year 9, 7, 4 and 2)
Our youngest two get up around 6am. We try to keep them quiet as best we can , but in our experience most people are understanding. Its not like youre up partying until daft oclock - theyre kids and so long as youre trying to keep them somewhat quiet then most people understand.
Its when theyre allowed out to do what ever they like early in the morning then I think people have a problem ie kicking balls around tents etc.
Although we try to excise consideration for our fellow campers by speaking quietly, amusing them with iphones (with headphones) and generally feeding them to keep them quiet (haha) if someone did complain then I'm afraid I wouldn't be too worried - if youre on a campsite that allows families (there are adult only ones) then you have to put up with it I'm afraid. I would politely but firmly tell them were to go. Theyre kids at the end of the day - they don't have mute buttons (unfortunately haha).
I wouldn't allow anyone to ruin my holiday by making me worry about something that you cant always control - if youre doing your best then that's good enough. You've paid as much as they have to be there and its your holiday too.
Ive only had one problem on a campsite, the people in the caravan had been loud until about 1am, my kids woke at 6am, I kept them quiet until about 7:30am and then took them to the park (no where near any pitches). Later that day the owner came by and told us shed had complaints as our children were up at 5am screaming and playing games. I politely but firmly told her that that was not the case, there might have been hushed tones talking etc from 6am just 'which one for breakfast' etc, no games, nothing, and perhaps she would ask them to keep it down that night as 1am was a bit late for racous noise. I didn't allow it to bother me, but did mention it in my review.
As I said most people are not bothered (the people in the caravan next to us actually commented on how quiet and well behaved our children were) you do get some people who only care about their time and will be ridiculous, but I just don't worry about them so long as I know ive been as considerate as I can be, theyre kids at the end of the day :)
Apologies for the essay - but Ive been there worrying about it and there really is no need :
enjoy your trip :) you and the kids will love it :)
