Most household kettles are 2.2 Kw to 3.Kw,a micro wave will want almost double its power on start up,check the wattage of your appliances and use this chart to see what Amps you will need.some sites are only 6 Amp EHU,but some can be as high as 16 Amp.

Camping appliances are generally lower wattage than domestic.  A camping kettle for instance may only be 700 Watt instead of 2KW for a domestic one.  Most camp sites supply bollards are rated at 16Amp.  In practice, your circuit breaker will probably trip at 10A.  As Pete says, count up the wattage on your appliances & keep the total below 2.3Kw to be on the safe side.  In general, you should aviod having 2 heating appliances running at once.
