You're right Effie, this has been raised before and I suspect it will come up again.
Whether council administrated low cost or in some cases
free camp grounds are going the way of the dodo bird because of abuse or because of lobbying by the park owners representative body is a debatable subject and probably good for a thread of it's own.
I don't think anybody is trying to ban family groups from enjoying the caravanning experience. Rather stating the case for some parks to be available without bouncy castles, tennis courts and swimming pools. All these make the parks that have them much more attractive for people that are travelling with
young kids and fair enough. The point is all of these extra facilities have to be paid for and usually by higher tariffs.
That being the case why not allow some of us the opportunity to pay a bit less and maybe enjoy a slightly quieter environment.
I have 3 kids of my own and now, as I said, 6 grandkids and if I choose to go to a park that caters more for the family group then I have to except all that goes with that situation. All I ask is that I be given the chance to choose.
Cheers
Pop
