These look quite good and a few people on here have them. Dirty clothes can go in a pop up hamper like this one.
Either that or use smaller bags and everyone has their own, which might make things a bit tidier.

I don't suppose its much different to suitcases, but we use Vango cargo bags, which the whole top opens on. We use 1 each for a week (45l for our son and 60l (I think) for each adult) and combine for a weekend. We basically stack the clothes in the bags for logical and easy access.
We use either a large plastic shopping bag for dirty washing or a washing machine mesh bag if the dirty washing has to fit back in the cargo bags when compact camping (the air easily compresses out with the mesh).
You can use these washing machine meshes to help organise clean clothes in the cargo bags too - and they are certainly cheap!

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

Just holdalls for us, bit of a pain having to dig around in there to find something but I can live with it for a week at a time, it just gets zipped up and put away in bedroom after we're dressed. Funny thing is, our tent has a built in wardrobe! (never used yet)
Dirty washing goes in big bin bag in porch or trailer out of the way.

One large holdall each for clean clothes and a large bin bag for dirty. Thinking about getting one of these to tidy things up a bit.

Just get a clothes rail from Argos & a couple of those canvas shelf units which you hang from the rail & it drops down giving you seven shelves. This keeps the clothes tidy & each person has their own sections. You can also hang coats up on the rail which certainly keeps the tent tidy, and dry your towels on it too.

We use boxes, 1 for each person. Works very well, we put sleeping bag and pillow for that person in the box too. Then there is room to root through for clothes once there.
