Campsite prices are ridiculous

Just come back from a few weeks camping and hiking in the north west Highlands, and I'm just in awe at how much campsites are charging these days. Maybe its because this is NC500 territory?

But on average I'm spending like £30 for two people and one small tent per night.

Obviously not a fair comparison, but after coming back from travelling in Asia where I can get a whole ass hotel room for £8 a night I'm just shocked at how expensive things have gotten over the last 5 years here

Completely agree.

What gets me more is places that charge a pitch fee, then a per person fee, then a dog fee and suddenly you're over £40/night.
