I'm sure this has been asked but I can't find it. Can anyone recommend places in the South where you can camp for under a tenner? Otherwise, we won't be going away at all next year. I have to pay enough to get off the Isle of Wight to start with. With sites adding bits on here and there and charging per person, etc, it's hard to find anything for less than £25 - £30 a night now.
We're quite happy doing basic. As long as there is a toilet and a shower, we can survive.

There are hundreds in the south of england they are called cl:s or cs:s, but you have to join one of the 2 big clubs to use them, depending how often you camp you will soon recoup your mem/ fee.
Second that, we stayed in south Devon for a fortnight for our main holiday and the most we paid was £8 but you have to check the facilities, we have our own in the caravan and only need ehu.
West Waylands caravan and camping park ,looe cornwall. We paid 13.50 per night. Folding camper, 2 adults, 2 children ,electric, plus a dog, in august. Lovely quite site,small shop, clean toilets, play area, dog walk, large pitches. This year we have been 3 times ,love it.

Never heard of the cl:s and cc:s until I read it on here just now - I assume you mean joining something like the Caravan and Camping Club. Thanks for the tips - although I need to find places closer to home. On top of the ferry, Devon is almost 5 hours drive in holiday traffic.
They are all over Madeleine, sure there are plenty in Hampshire and Sussex. You would need to join the Camping and Caravan Club as you say, only £30 odd per year, then you get a book of sites (and other info), including their CSs (Certificated, or is it Certified sites, never can remember) and also use their website to look them up, but quite often you have to phone to book these sites.

It used to be a lot better with the subsidised travel from the Island but in recent years, they have changed it to very restricted times and we can have a discount if we want to travel at 4am for example! Not good
But I do have the compensation of living somewhere very beautiful - she says doing her bit for what is probably going to be a very difficult tourist season
We do occasionally camp locally but when you live here it's not such a novelty. Although it is very handy if you've forgotten to bring something and can send OH home to get it

I havent stayed there, but think Ecclesden Farm near Angmering in West Sussex is pretty cheap, if I remember rightly and think the reviews are ok. You are close to the A24, so can get there easily from Pompei and also easy to get to Brighton and London.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
