Hi all
After enjoying camping as a child I have this year begun taking my own family, including dad and uncle who love it as much as us, the trouble we are having is as a large family finding affordable sites that do not charge per person per night, not including my dad and uncle - they have their own tent and pitch but for us there is myself and husband and 5 children aged 10, 8, 5, 2 and 9 months not to mention a final edition on the way!
We have enjoyed a few local sites whilst we get into the swing of things and I am exhausting the search options trying lots of different criteria, really I guess I'm just looking for any recommendations of family friendly sites that don't charge over the odds, been looking on and off for the bank holiday week for a couple of weeks and getting nowhere, don't really mind where either, willing to travel, can anybody help? Thankyou in advance :)

Not sure I fully understand what you are asking, there are loads of sites with availability for the Bank Holiday weekend at the moment, to be quite honest, in high season you should expect to pay more, and certainly for a lot of people, there are some sites which charge per unit and I am sure that people will be along to let you know of some, but most sites charge for two people, plus extra for additional persons, not unreasonable in my view, the more people, the more that are using the facilities, so the campsite has to pay for hot water etc and maintenance of the facilities.
Many of the sites that I have visited only charge £15 - £20 per night for two, and only a couple of pounds per extra person, that is not particularly over the odds in my view, where are you looking that is charging more than that, you don't say which area you are in or where you are considering, so hard to know where to start in looking for suitable campsites.

The Camping and Caravanning Club lists a number of Temporary Holiday Sites, some of which offer little in the way of facilities, perhaps just a water supply and CDP, but others may be held on a field belonging to an adjacent commercial site and with access to their shower/toilet block.
The charges tend to be based on a per-unit-per-night (including two adult club members) basis and in my experience offer excellent value. (A Welsh coast full-facility THS cost us £11 a night a couple of weeks ago.)
Many are held during school holidays, pitches (non-EHU ones at least) rarely need to be booked in advance, and you could stay for one night or for the duration, which might be a couple of weeks or so.
You would have to join the C&CC (around £40) which could be arranged on arrival at the THS, the only other "snag" I can think of is the list of such sites is directly available (in the magazine and online) only to existing members, but if you know a C&CC member, they'd probably be happy to lend you a current or recent magazine, or if not and you have a particular area in mind, ask on here!
