That's a bit much, I think the "better" sites are going to price themselves out of the market, and you will find more and more campers looking at wild camping instead. The sites in Kerry are expensive as well.
Ok they have got great facilities there but not everyone wants to use them, maybe separate pricing might be better?

Thats why there was about 8-10 campers on Westport quay last night. Last week someone was in my spot, the cheek of them. Bollards on the grass means you have to go a bit further up and no facilities.

it is such a shame especially on families, camping used to be a "cheap" holiday not any more. I know it takes money to upkeep a good site but this is really leaning toward greed.
They will price themselves out of the market, hopefully local councils will realise there is money to made, loads of council run sites in the UK, basic but that is whats needed.
