I think you can get rowdy groups almost anywhere if you are unlucky, so the key is to find a site with strict rules about noise after 10pm and who don’t accept groups. Most sites have their rules on their websites. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend a specific site as the lovely quiet sites we have been on this year have mostly been adult only, but if you get a site with clear rules, it helps. For example, we were at the Old Brick Kilns site in Norfolk a few weeks ago which is an adult only site and a group of young people arrived, probably 19-21 year olds. They weren’t making a massively intrusive noise but they were a bit rowdy and we noticed the site manager going over to speak to them, which I guess was a warning. About 2 hours later they hadn’t calmed down and they were evicted from the site, so sites with rules can be useful.
I don’t know where you are based but we are currently on the Bay View site in Bolton-Le-Sands, Lancashire and they have an absolutely enormous tent field. I would guess that on that field, if you went to the end furthest away from the facilities, you could have half the field to yourself as people tend to pitch in the half closest to the facilities.

Sadly, I think the days of consideration and old fashioned camping etiquette have all but disappeared! It's a tad better on adult only sites in some cases I've found, but no use to you. CL/CS sites are often better by simple weight of numbers, less people, so less chance of inconsiderate ones.
As to CAMC sites being quieter, and wardens strict, the one in Coniston wasn't last Nov! Generally bloody noisy by anyone's standards. One caravan near me had 3 dogs that barked incessantly when the owners were with them, and they seemed to make no effort to quieten them! Another MH had a loud group in the awning every night until I don't know when, but they were in full flow when I took the dog for a pre-bed wee at 1am! On my pre-bed dog walk one night at around 1am again, some character was SHOUTING into his phone held at arms length for half an hour or so outside the reception building (Wi-Fi hot spot?), which was right next door to the warden's accommodation (all 3 couples of wardens!), he could be heard most of the way across the site, the wardens could hardly have failed to notice right outside their doors, yet not a sign of any wardens making any effort to quieten anything down!
Lot's of screaming/shouting children during the day, to their credit a number of parents did try and explain that it wasn't the place to be so noisy, but kids are like goldfish, memory span of nano-seconds!
It certainly wasn't the tranquil stay I've encountered on that site in the past, and perhaps as bad as I've experienced anywhere, with just so many noisy people all at once!
I don't think you can 'organise/choose' a guaranteed quite site, it's dependent upon the people there at the same time, and the wardens willingness to enforce the rules on noise (which every camp site I've encountered has!). As a generalisation, I'd say, yes, the club sites are likely to be the most reliably quite, as the clubs centrally set the rules and standards and are a known quantity, and fairly consistent across all sites (in all respects - which is the appeal of club sites to many).
To some extent I think you have to filter the likely people going to a site, if it's one of a chain with bar/clubhouse/entertainment, then perhaps going to appeal more to 'party people', if it's remote and basic amenities only and more 'nature' orientated, then better chance it'll be full of people 'early to bed, early to rise' and not going to be partying into the night - no guarantees of course!
