Some are the blue plug we're used to. Older installations may still need a two pin adaptor which you can buy from most accessory shops

Mostly the blue commando style. You may come across the French two-pin round sockets; they are becoming more rare. Towsure have the adapter, like the one below, listed for £4.50 (You might well find your campsite has one to borrow, but I guess if you're worried you'l want your own.)

We're on the two pin variant at present.

Still quite a few have them .... especially municipal sites.
