Some campsites have got ridiculously expensive. I've been searching for Easter, and some were wanting almost �50+ a night! Now, it's just me & hubby, 2 dogs in a T5 campervan + an awning. We don't have a huge caravan with a full size awning using multiple electrical appliances and 2 or 3 children which would probably then make it better value.
I want a quietish site, clean functional washblocks and EHU. A small onsite shop is a bonus, as is a cafe or takeaway onsite or nearby. But ideally, I don't want to pay much more than �30 a night.
I really do think you need to shop around these days and re-evaluate what you really need!
A unit is a unit, whether it is motorhome, a campervan, a big caravan or a small caravan. An awning is an awning no matter if it is tiny or "full size". EHU is EHU (unless you are metered). 2 adults are 2 adults, etc, etc. Perhaps you could search for sites that don't charge extra for dogs and awnings ? Or maybe leave the awning at home, especially in April ? Anyhow, if you don't want to pay more than 30 pn .... don't !

People that pay ridiculous prices for sites are part of the problem.
Yes I'm inclined to agree, but recently there has been a big influx into camping and caravanning and many of those who are new to it have no idea what is "normal". If they look up sites, find one they like, and book in, that is what they will think the normal price is. If that happens to be £40+ a night..........
Personally I won't pay more than around £25 a night all-in, but then all we want is a quiet site, toilets & showers, and EHU. Anything else is a bonus, but it has to be included in the overall cost.

Everything has gone up! What people are prepared to pay is totally up to them it’s their money their choice.
It’s okay to spend say 50 k on a caravan or 100 k on a motorhome but not £40 a night on a pitch, you make your choices and pay what you want.
