Needing some help guys really struggling this year!!
Each year my parents, myself and brothers with our own families meet up the first week in august for a weeks camping/caravan holiday. There will be one caravan and 3 family tents + 4 children + 2 dogs.
Looking for recommendations for a small camp/caravan-site (no more than 50 pitches) with electric hook up and showers etc. Not fussed on play parks etc, in our opinion the less the better, but my Dad gets a bit twitchy on the narrow lanes towing so easy access is a must. Location not so much an issues - we're meeting up from south west wales, Leicestershire and Gloucester so trying to avoid maybe north England due to distance but open to all recommendations. Really appreciate any suggestions!

In North Wales you have the following which would fit
Llyn Rhys Campsite
3 areas one on the Drive Way, is used for Offa's Dyke walkers, as the LDP runs through the farm property, so is a good stopping point. Christine is extremely friendly and helpful. The Second field is where all the Hook Ups are, the 3rd field, is for Non Hook Up.
Rynys Farm Camping Siteanother farm based Camp Site, plenty of room, in the larger field, you could all pitch together in the corner area, and still have room to swing a elephant. Conway Falls cafe, is just across the main road from the Drive Way up to the Camp Site, Customers of the cafe, have free access to the Swallow Falls, which includes a 1 million pound Fish Ladder.
Carrog Station Camp Site is right next to Carrog Train Station, which is a stop on the Llangollen Steam Railway, which now continues on to Corwen. For this one, ask to be put in the small field, where the Glamping Pods are.
I'm a member of a Committee, who has hired the Rally Field across the road from the main site, for 10 days August 2016.
I've stopped at all 3, with a mixed group of Caravans, Motor Homes, Tents and a FC. All 3 are accessible via main roads Carrog advice the best route to the site on their web site, and to avoid following Sat Navs, which bring you in the opposite way, on narrow roads]

Thanks for the recommendations will have a look at these, still undecided on area, we're a Welsh family so know Wales pretty well. We've had alot of holidays as kids down south as well Devon/Somerset/Dorset area but not since we've all grown up. Any suggestions for down that was would be welcome too. To be honest the site is more important than the actual area with attractions. Majority of the holiday is spent kicking back at the caravan while the cousins can play together.

Bridge House Campsite at Lechlade in Gloucestershire might suit you. Easy access, one large field with EHU and non-EHU pitches, 10 minutes walk into Lechlade and nice walks and pubs along The Thames. Riverside Park immediately opposite with plenty of room for picnic, ball games etc.
Davep mentioned Rynys. I love it dearly, but if your Dad is nervous of towing, be aware there's a short but steep narrow lane up to it. Don't let that put you off; once you're up there and settled, you'll have lovely views on an informal and well-kept site with clean facilities and lots of scramble-potential for the children.
