The key factor in this oft repeated moan is "half term". There is no valid argument for all schools in a country having to take holidays at the same time.
Perhaps there was one in the days when heavy industry had to shut down things like steel furnaces, and their suppliers and customers also had to close. We don't have that situation now, and holidays in education and industry could be staggered without any problem. Commerce, nowadays, does not get a holiday.
Spreading the holidays would benefit everyone in terms of availability, but accomodation rates in low season would have to increase to ballance out.

We have looked at this site and although it does look lovely I also think the price is on the steep side.
The problem with school holidays is they are not just the one week for half term then set holiday for term ends like they used to be, because different areas have different holidays half term can cover a three week period which makes it difficult for those of us without children to find a peaceful site, even if we go adult only they also hike the price during holiday periods because they know they can still get people to pay up
I think we are starting to suffer from lack of available sites at reasonable prices and I suspect it will only get worse as time goes on
