Our seasonal pitch has a gravel base (and has a slight slope). I always cover the gravel with light damp proof course before using a traditional groundsheet and then carpet. When it rains heavily the rain comes up through the groundsheet and soaks the carpet. It looks as though the gravel gradually makes small penetrations in the DPC.
I am thinking of going for a heavy duty DPC but before doing so would welcome any suggestions

Something to consider for you. When laying a butyl liner for a pond an underlay is used. It is fibrous - have a look at some in pond shops/garden centres. It is used to protect the butyl from stones and is not that expensive.
Typically available in 2m widths off the roll

Put a layer of Easys suggestion down and then- Have you ever thought of interlocking Foam tiles? They can be transported in the shower and are very light and make a wonderful warm cosy floor. There is a company called Softfloor on the web. All colours are available.

Yes, interlocking tiles do make a lovely comfortable space. I looked at the Aldi tiles on offer and thought they were a little thin. Obviously, the thicker they are, the more cushioning against stones etc you get. I do the same as AD- good quality polythene groundsheet and then the tiles. Soft, warm and dry.

Used the Aldi interlocking tiles for years and not had any damaged by stones etc and the dents caused by stones seem to almost disappear when packed away for a while. We did have two frogs living under them after a three week stay in fairly wet conditions and they seemed to like the tiles also.
