I don't think dog owners mind paying a pound for a dog if theres a dog area but just charging and not giving any service for the money,I don't think i would stay anywhere like that

Well, Oliver, I've not stayed on sites where showers charged for - must have been lucky!!
Llanidavis, most dog owners (including myself) would regard a site that provides a good, well maintained dog walk and poop bins as being fair in charging a reasonable amount. Where I did argue the toss was charging for a dog at £2 a night when I was already being charged for the pitch and two adults when I was a solo tenter and no dog facilities whatsoever. Camping in the Forest had the right idea; (this was before they had a solo camper discount) and I ended up not paying for dog and getting small discount on the pitch.
Unfortunately, because my camping is now totally restricted to events (and therefore locations)I attend as a safety volunteer, I can't pick and choose and it really irks to have to pay the same price as the large family on the pitch next door with a huge tent, utility tent, guy ropes partly on my pitch etc. and some kids not always under control. I've refused to volunteer on some events because of the cost of the pitch at the only practicable site; don't like doing that but it's a vote with my feet on cost.

we have two dogs,, and we tidy up after them,, and never let them run around ,they make no mess and dont bark... So i dont see why i should have to pay for them when some sites dont charge for kids under a certain age, that run around, make a mess, scream ,shout, nappies fill bins,, etc...

Yes, but how many dogs do you see queuing up with their pocket money to buy ice-creams, sweets and toys which are profitable for the owners?

None of those come free.
If you don't like it then find somewhere else to go.
Generally, children are far more hassle than dogs.
They kick and bat balls, ride cycles near caravans, and (these days) seem able to do what they want, whenever they want to do it - irrespective of the inconvenience and/or damage they cause.
We took our own children camping & caravanning from a very early age - but we always impressed upon them the need for care, and instilled respect for other people's property.
Yes, I know, camping is made for families - but, these days, the country seems stuffed with unbelievably dysfunctional families, presided over by uncouth parents who cannot control themselves, never mind their offspring.
I don't want to holiday with them.
Let dogs stay free, and quadruple the prices for kids...
I'm editing this to add that kids are rarely (or never) a problem on CCC rallies, etc - but many commercial sites resemble Dante's vision of hell during the school holidays.

I had to giggle as I progressed through the posts - and they always seem to go the same way. Start off with a doggie-related post, end up with a stand-off between the doggie lovers and the kiddie avoiders!
Me, I'm sitting on the fence.
