Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

Lol chaddy!!
I agree val about stopping travellers but i think there should be a bit of leeway for people like us who bought the van specifically to camp.
Maybe if they only let ones that are not commercial, like ours, it might be better.
I would understand more if we had an obvious working van or an untidy van, i could see why sites may not want them on.

As someone said before Happycamper, maybe you could fit a couple of small windows in the back of your van.
Even a couple of small boat portholes would do the trick, I would have thought.

UK law prevents sites banning specific 'demographics' & also generally they don't want anybody who is not a genuine recreational/holiday camper. In order to stay within the law they place a ban on certain vehicles & sometimes even specific makes of caravans. If they allowed exceptions to their imposed rules according to how the potential campers 'looked' then they would lay themselves open to accusations of discrimination.

We use our van for our camping holidays. We use our van for our decorating business. It is not sign written we just have magnetic signs. Most sites are ok with it as long as we remove the signs . We always ring sites before we book and explain it is our only vehicle, kept in immaculate condition and without its signs looks nothing like a commercial vehicle. The best thing to do is ask the site - we have not been refused anywhere yet.

While I can understand that a site might be reluctant to accommodate a team of builders who are renovating a derelict property just up the road, it should be noted that with the ever increasing cost of motoring more people are beginning to use their work vehicle as their private vehicle. A neighbour of mine has a carpet cleaning business and his van is also the family's sole mode of transport, used for shopping, days out and the (hated) school run.
Campsites and regulatory authorities need to recognise this and apply some common sense - if such a thing still exists.
