Advice on transporting bikes (carriers)

Help - brand new addict here!

Recently bought MTB for myself and wife. Got first decent one for my son and will soon have one for his brother (looking at you people I msg'ed😁) All bikes adult size S - L. I need some advice on the best, safest and most bike friendly way to transport these when we go away.

What I have - Tow bar bike carrier (bikes hanging) and rear mounted bike carrier (3 bikes). 

I transported 3 bikes on rear mounted this weekend and it was a very tight fit, seems that eventually something will be damaged/scrached. 

We will also camp on occasions and I don't think spending a fortune on 4 bike (standing) carrier is worh it, if we won't use it when we camp. What are my options? Rear mounted carrier and roof rack? 

What do I need to look out for? Any suggestions. Definately going for second hand.
