You won't be able to pitch a tent, theres no-where to knock your pegs into

Yes there is, it will require rock pegs and lump hammer. Also some sort of groundsheet protector as the gravel could puncture / abrade groundsheet.
I would give the site a ring, they don't bite and then will advise on best approach. The C&CC sites have two types, gravel and plastic reinforced, hard standings.

We once stayed at Sandy Balls campsite where they had these gravel pitches. I absolutely hated it.
Tent + grass = camping. Pure and simple.

Most hardstanding pitches arn't concrete, they are just gravel/shale & can be unpleasant & dirty in the wet & as stated ain't very good for tents. You will be able to knock rock pegs in tho.
