not had anyone turn us away in over 10 years of owning this caravan, the only thing that has cropped up is the access, which you need to google map it before travelling to make sure you will fit/can turn into the entrance. oh and look for clues to the site entrance as turning around caan mean you have to travel miles to do so
Certainly not all site accept them, but wouldn't like to put a percentage to those that reject, but don't think it's a high percentage.
I believe it's to do with the damage to the ground when manoeuvring in tight turns - one axle tends to roll normally, and the lighter loaded one scrapes sideways causing scuffing damage.

Do all or most caravan sites allow twin axles ? Are there any restrictions?
Thank you for any help
I think you'll be safe enough.
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
Only seen a few sites which state no twin axles,either to prevent pitch damage or may be a way of refusing so called travellers who tend to have them. But if a site booking does not state this you should be OK,but for piece of mind you can always ask the site when booking.

Never had a problem in the UK or on the continent. I did arrive at one in France that had a little notice saying that twin axles were not allowed but I asked at reception and was told that that only applied to certain people.
Frankly, I am surprised that single axle caravans are still produced. Once you have towed a double you won't want to go back to a single!

Much larger market for single axle vans.

Towed my single axle for 8 years and thousands of miles in all parts of the country, on all sorts of roads, in all sorts of weather, even accidentally way beyond the speed limit, and never had any cause for concern. If anything, it's rock steady stability continues to surprise/impress.
Good stable tow car, properly loaded van, it really is not an issue having a single axle. If you 'need' a twin axle to get stability, then I'd question what was wrong with the single axle set up.
Only technical need for a twin axle is to cope with the load of a large van, that would exceed capabilities of an actual single axle and just two tyres. Many a largish single axle van is pushing chassis, axle and tyres to their upper weight limits, but NOT beyond them.
I'm hardly any kind of exception, there's rather a lot of us out there happily dragging our single axle vans around without concern or issue.
I'd accept a twin axle if the caravan weight demanded that set up, but I wouldn't seek it out of choice.
