Where do you pitch up?

Having grown up in the Lake District, I reckon I have a bit of a skewed perception of camping.

As kids, we just used to stroll up one of the fells surrounding our village, pitch up on a fairly flattish surface and light a fire.

Is this still acceptable as an adult with two small kids? I've not camped for many years, partly from marrying a townie who has never been taken with the idea of sleeping under canvas, and partly because I'm not sure campsites are the way for me.

How does it work nowadays? Are there campsites where you can feel like you aren't pitched on top of each other, for that back to nature feel, or is there provision for people to camp where they like?
