Fair point, Dave. I reckon though that singles will immediately seek out someone they can join on a site.

A price increase from $2/person is certainly justified,

I'd favour charging per person, especially as they don't have sites marked out. Something like $5 seems pretty reasonable to me. The problem with charging per tent is that it's not fair on one or two in a small tent paying the same as a mob in a huge tent.
If they had sites marked out and set limits for people and tents per site that might strike a balance, both for easing the impact on the environment and getting a reasonable return for Parks Victoria's infrastructure investment.
