We are two pensioners with a small caravan. I would be happy to go overnight or maybe two nights without electric, but there's no way I would pay £16 for it, sorry. I can get a small site with both electric and a good toilet and shower block for that. £8 for a pitch would be nearer my mark with no electric or flushing toilets.

I certainly hope you are successful with your venture Amyt666, but for what you are offering I think £8 per person is very expensive. It may however appeal to singles camping, but it would certainly put off couples like us.

Most of the small sites who are charging £16 for a couple would have chemical toilet disposal, flush toilets, showers, and electricity. I know we would certainly expect them if we were paying £16 a night. If you are charging £8 for a single person, I would ask what the other person was getting for their £8 if they were in the same camping unit, occupying the same piece of ground.

Absolutely nothing wrong with such a basic site, indeed it would have appealed to me when I was a youngster on my own, but as a couple I would expect a lot more than basic for £16. Alternately, for a site that basic I wouldn't want to pay anything like £16.

All the best anyway.

As always...as long as people are prepared to pay the price, campsites are going to charge the price.

One of my favourite sites in Gloucestershire charges £9 per person a night and I think about £4 a night for electricity so I pay £13 which as a solo camper I feel is reasonable...but, it does have full washing and toilet facilities, is just one field away from The Thames and a 10 minute walk into the village.

However, two people may find it expensive at £22 a night although when camping with a friend sharing my tent last year we paid £25 a night at one campsite, but that was a campsite right on the banks of The Thames and of course when sharing it only cost us £13.50 a night each.

So it's all a case of what you are prepared to pay for what you feel is good value for money and that can vary according to location and many other issues. Camping in a field in the middle of nowhere even with nice views doesn't do it for me, and I certainly need EHU these days for my heater as even in summer the nights can be pretty chilly.

I wouldn't have a problem with composting loos though and I don't need a shower just for a couple of nights away providing I have hot water for a good wash down...and of course somewhere to dispose of the dirty water.
