Part of the problem is that they are the european way around, meaning the door is on the wrong side. This makes it awkward for pitching especially when busy.

The Hobby caravan is also synonymous with the traveller community, and sites can be wary of that.

I've had my Hobby for 10 years now and never been refused at any campsite. There are a lot of foreign caravan visitors come to the UK every year - are site owners going to refuse this lucrative trade??

Just phone ahead and let the site know that the door is on the opposite side. Most sites would then be able to accommodate you.

Del - The quick answer is yes. If they have been burnt before they will not take the risk.

A site that I use regularly was caught out by travellers last year.

The site accepted bookings from 2 families who arrived with cars, then after they got set up the pickups arrived.
The adults were out during the day until late at night leaving their hoard of kids to run about the site causing havoc.

You cannot blame the site owners for taking precautions, it is their livelihood at stake.
