Sounds like you have a major problem, getting worse as time goes by. For a manager to ask for assistance here.
Here's a few things I would be doing....
1......Assume you have a 28 day rule! therefor must leave after 28 days...call police after that for eviction.
2....Put extra large signs up, at the entrance. NO Commercial vehicles, NO animals, NO exceptions.( state this on your website also).
3... If kids are being neglected, call police, and authorities..( if accident or worse happened whilst on your property, maybe YOU would be liable otherwise).
4.... Visit local police station, inform them you have small problem! Ask if they can drive around the site as often as possible, till Travellers move on.
Once the travellers see the police presence a few times they may feel intimidated and move on!
You could I suppose as a last resort employ a couple of security guards for a few weeks till they have left. ( not very cost effective I know, however it would just be temporary).
5...Re the toilet facilities, well I have been to a few sites, where ass even what we think respectable folks leave a mess....Animal type people. You just got to live with that i'me afraid. Clean regular at set times. e.g 6am - noon - 6pm. ( At the very least your Normal holiday makers will see your doing your best).
If you don't take a firm stance sooner rather than later, you will have a whole site full of the Travellers infiltrating your site...They also have internet and phones don't forget.
Don't let it get to a stage where reviews from Normal campers bring the site down, as we all look at reviews these days.
These are just some of the things I would be implementing, if I was in your shoe's.
I have been on a site in Scotland a good few years ago where the traveller's infiltrated. It was like a war zone within a few days. NOT nice at all. The land lord soon got rid the with the help of local police.
Stay Safe......

Welcome to UKCS!
As the others have already mentioned, it is your site now, so you would need to set the rules and manage them.
It may be advisable to put up a big and prominent sign that it is now under new management with new rules etc...
You may also wish to include this on your site listing and on your website if you have one.
I am guessing the site you have taken over used to attract certain type of campers who have very little respect for other people and their properties, or even laws of the land and society in general.
I am also guessing the previous owner might not have mentioned this to you before the sale, for fear that you might not have gone ahead with the sale, no surprise there!
And no, campers are by and large are respectable and nice people, based on my own camping experience since 2007.
Good luck - and please ask the relevant authorities/agencies for help and advice as already mentioned above.
