I tell the site I'm bringing a folding camper. If they don't know what I mean I explain its caravan base with fabric top, and give them the size when pitched, including the awning if I'm going to use it.
A site might only be allowed to take take tents as a requirement of the planning rules / restrictions they have to abide by. The site might not be able to take any camping unit with wheels.
As Blueexpo suggests, I would always check as I find some sites treat my unit as a caravan while others say I'm not a caravan but are happy for me to be on site. I've never had any problems once I've described my set up..

The Folding Campers have the benefit of a caravan base and a tent top but it is classed as a tent.
Shell Island is not certified for caravans but you can use the Folding Camper.
On the other hand it is possible to use a hard-standing pitch which would not be available to tents....
If the site has a query I tell them its a soft top caravan

We always click on trailer tent when booking a site as there isn't usually a folding camper option, then put in the size of our F.C. We have never had a problem when we have pitched. On the many sites we have visited.
