Or, am I hoping for the impossible?
We've just got back from a week at Slapton Sands, and though we loved the local area, weren't completely enamoured with the campsite. It seemed that they'd gone all out to pack in as many tents and motorhomes as possible, and there was very little space for the kids to play (the playground itself was titchy). DS is only 3, so just wanted space to kick a ball round with us, but there was nowhere for him to do so without us worrying that he'd hit our neighbours' tents. DH and I would have liked a bit more space to sit out in front of the tent and drink a cup of tea wine in the evenings while admiring the view.
So, I think we've realised that getting the right site is probably key to us enjoying our holiday, and possibly more important than the site being in any one specific area. So, could anyone please suggest a site that gives more than the bare minimum of space between tents, is attractive and has decent showers/loos (sorry, I can't do composting loos for more than a weekend!) DS would like to be able to visit a sandy beach, but the site doesn't need to be directly on the coast. Ideally, we'd like the site to be within 4 hours of SW London, but we might be convinced to go further afield for the right site!

Any recommendations - sites with good showers/loos and decent space between pitches in August?
