I'm pretty certain that I have previously read on here that sites that state "no sleeping in cars/vans" or similar are governed by their local council, and such rules are part of their licence agreement?
The fine print will state things like number of windows and for the vehicle to be designed for sleeping in, ie a campervan/motorhome as opposed to a tranny van with a mattress in the back.
As the chances of anyone actually looking inside are slim, I've even read on here of folk using "stick on windows", to make their van look like a campervan... from the outside at least!
If a site is governed by such rules in order to keep their licence, whilst you may get away with disguising a standard van, there'd be little hope of getting around the rules in a car.
Like I say, I've read such things on here, and no idea how true that is.
The nearest I have seen to anyone "sleeping in a car" (on a campsite), was a landrover type vehicle, but that had an awning over the back door (kitchen in the back), and a tent on the roof rack, with loft ladder attached!
Looked bloody fantastic, to be fair!
Ooh... Ooh... I tell a lie...
Couple with small tent...They came back from the loo block (power socket?) with a fully inflated double air bed... wouldn't fit through tent door, so had to partly deflate, squeeze into tent, then... not sure! (There was no evidence of re-inflating. Certainly not powered inflation!)
A short while later, she emerged from the tent having swapped her full length ball gown (Don't ask!) for her onesie... and promptly locked herself in their car, despite his gentle protestations at the car window. She was still locked in there when we went to bed, he was sat outside the tent sulking.
... They were gone by the time I emerged at 06:30 next morning!
