It depends on the site.  Some say no caravans as the access is poor.  Some don't have flat pitches, or are prone to waterlogging so a car pulling a caravan can wreck the grass.  Others that don't accept caravans will accapt TTs & FCs beacuse they are esentially tents when up.  Others say caravans & motorhomes only, as they have concrete or tarmac hardstanding, so a TT will not be able to peg down.  A folding camper however can go up without pegs.  Ring to confirm if unsure.  If they don't want tents, you have a folfding caravan - look it has wheels, if they don't want caravans, you have a trailer tent - look it is made of fabric!

Ditto the above but I have found that if they say tents only they usually mean it. Good luck if you decide to change the caravan for a TT. We went from caravan to folding camper last year and are now enjoying our camping again (even going on non electric sites)
