If it is during a school holiday, then the minimum stay of 5 nights for a popular site is not unreasonable IMHO.
If it is only 3-night minimum for school holidays, the pitches could be taken up by the weekenders, for part of the week being under-use, and the site could be losing out.
By having 5-night minimum for school holidays, they have a better chance of filling the site for more days.
It is about maximising profit and loss for a business, which I can appreciate.
If I don't want to pay the price or stay for 5 nights, I can find somewhere else.
I have booked a site in the Netherlands near Edam in May 2024 and they required 7-night minimum as it is during school holidays.

That's one of the reasons we usually start our holidays on a Monday. Sites that are booked solid over the weekend are often half empty on the Monday. What often surprises me though is that if I try to book for 10 days starting on the Saturday, the response is "fully booked". Try the following weekend starting Saturday and the result is the same. But if I start on the Monday I can book 10 days no problem. Where did those vacancies suddenly come from on my middle weekend?
My booking on the Monday must help the site owners too, as much of their trade is at weekends.
