Different sites have different rules.
Some sites won't accept any vans that don't look like a campervan/motorhome i.e. conform to the government guidance about what constitutes a campervan. Some will accept vans with a bed in the back and no other facilities. Some fall in between the two as to what they will accept.
We go away in out fully converted van with a friend who has what you are suggesting and whilst we were accepted our friend's van wasn't at one site (we both left), and another 'allowed' our friend to camp with us but warned us not to come again (as if we would want to!). Both had been booked in advance and there had been no questions about what vans we were bringing. Not a nice situation to confront on a leisurely weekend away!
We now we always ring in advance ask if we will both be allowed on to save any embarrassment.

Go to France, sites will take any unit there, except maybe twin axel caravans.

Many 'campervans' are no longer motor caravans by UK DVLA guidelines, including the VW California's. It's going to be down to the site.
