Thanks for your reply, Seye.
I had a look at the sites in the area after I replied to your post, and found a lovely one a few miles down the road from Southerness, Castle Point campsite:

To be honest, the Parkdean style of site isn't really our cup of tea, we prefer a bit more of an 'away from it all' vibe, but sounds like you and your kids had loads to do and enjoyed yourselves and all at £18 a night, sounds a good price!
Yes, I do agree that it is better to cook at the tent, we always either have a full coolbox in the back of the car, or stop somewhere on the way to wherever we're going, and as that usually ends up being as close to the back of beyond as we can get, we're always well stocked for cooking a decent meal!
I really like the look of that stretch of coastline, we may well head up that way later on in the summer as we are off to the Highlands again (our favourite place on this earth!) as soon as we can get a break in work 
This will be our first summer with our new folding camper, we want to put it to the test and enjoy ourselves!

I think it is important to let the kids experience all the options, it is a bit different for us as our 5 kids are now grown up, but that said, they experienced both the 'all singing, all dancing' sites and those that were more basic, guess which one they preferred? Yes, the basic site won through, and the imagination they loved to express was far more fun than a set out format for them, the fun they had making dens and running wild for them was far more fun.
We had the best of both worlds, both the swimming pool complex and also wild swimming, and using their imagination to construct their very own 'world' away from any set out formula designed to entertain young kids... I completely agree that making their own amusement is something that all kids should experience.
