Depends on the process.
We used a card meter at Beechcroft Farm, but they offered a refund for unused credit.
You can also "read the meter", so if it looks like you may run out in the night, you can go and top it up in time beforehand.
On their advice, we purchased a £5 card (+£10 returnable deposit for the actual card itself) when we arrived on the Friday lunchtime.
Had the fan heater on for 2-3 hours each evening, and a good hour or so each morning. Bit of charging, and a leccy light for 3-4 hours each evening.
Packed up and left 48 hours later... Got our £10 deposit back, plus something like £1.40 back (from memory?) for unused credit.
So £3.60 ish for a two nighter. Cheapest yet, by far, as we probably pay around that per night, on average, anywhere else!
Not used a meter anywhere else though, so no idea whether they all refund unused credit?
As an aside, I'm pretty sure the law states that they (the camp site) are not allowed to make a profit on actual electricity used... but that doesn't mean to say they can't charge you for using their supply post, hence many sites charging £4 per night, even if you only use a quids worth. (Obviously, you could also use a fiver's worth, with tellies/XBoxes and the like, in which case the site would lose out!)
IMO, meter's are by far the fairest way for all concerned!
