It used to be true that some camp sites banned generators, but not any more. These days, MOST camp sites ban them. 'Silent' ones are anything but silent, in the main, and anything even close to silent will cost a grand plus. They are ideal for rallies, if you attend a lot of them, as they tend not to have restrictions, but, for 'normal' camp sites, forget it, as, even the ones that allow them, will often restrict use to certain times.
I prefer to go EHU, but, because we camp with family / friends sometimes, and go to one or two festivals, we, actually, end up going without EHU more often than not. As a result, I have geared my camper up to run totally on gas / EHU. Water, fridge, oven, hob and grill all run on gas, lighting, pumps, TV, phone chargers, microwave etc, all run on 12V. An 80W solar panel keeps the leisure battery topped up indefinitely, is truly silent, and welcomed everywhere. Of course, the one issue I do have is heating. I have a couple of portable cannister gas heaters, which are great for taking the chill off, but not safe for long term use. As already pointed out, though, a 1KW generator will not be up to running anything other than the smallest oil filled rads, or similar heaters, anyway.
