Just returned from our summer holiday (South Wales, nr. Oxford and a site a little closer to London), I come up with a question. How do you search for a campsite with a 'tenty feel' (we are in a folding camper, Conway Cruiser, ourselves) and WITHOUT loads of seasonal pitches?
Websites do not show how many of there 'touring pitches' are seasonal pitches. Up to us it's a different kind of camping people. Not to be negative, but that's how we experienced it.
Next year we'll concentrate on Yorkshire and further north and the lowlands of Scotland, so the golden tip is also well appreciated.
Thanks in advance for you replies.

Could be worth joining the Camping & Caravanning Club so that you can get access to their Certificated Sites. These sites are smaller and often tend to be basic. They offer a special membership for oversea visitors.
If you see a site you fancy on the camp site search put the postcode into google maps and zoom in on satalite view, you can usually tell what type of site it is from that.
On the first page that comes up on a site you have found on here it tells you how many pitches there are at the site. This gives you a fair idea of how big the site is.

Look in a sites website. It generally tells you if they accept seasonals.
Best thing about a site having seasonals is that you know their vans will be well looked after and they will be no trouble as if they are trouble they wouldn't be allowed to stay as seasonals.
Can't work out from your post what sort of problem you have with seasonals and to say its a different type of people is just completely ignorant and rude TBF!
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.
