At the end of the day you are just renting a patch of grass, electric, water and washroom facilities no matter what else the site has to offer.
If they have a pub you have to pay extra for the beer so why does the campsite charge extra for that facility? The scenery of course was there long before the campsite so why is there a charge for that? Other facilities campsites might provide are often charged extra, such as swimming pools, mini golf courses etc.
Now, if they had campsites with everything thrown in like on a cruise, it might be worth paying £65 a night. I just took a quick look at Iglu Cruises and a 12 night trip to the Canary Islands in November costs £649pp...that is only £54 a night.

I couldn't agree more Bob! One of the reasons I would avoid such a site. No way I would pay anything like £65 a night on a campsite, whatever "facilities" it offered. The only facilities I want are EHU, toilets and showers. In fact, I don't actually want anything else on the site, as it could make it noisy. I wouldn't want that all all!

We never go anywhere in peak times, and we've stayed in some very nice Travelodges for considerably less than £65 a night. On one occasion I remember we stayed at the Gatwick one overnight for just £9. We had a very early flight the next morning and wanted to be there before hand. Had a great night's sleep. It was on special offer though. Not sure I'd want to spend a week there though, there was nothing there but the airport.
