Bear in mind virtually every caravan has a dog or two and they don't all like cats. Could be chaos.

I know of someone who has a 'ships cat' in a similar situation onboard his boat, but it never leaves the ship except to travel to and from home, but personally i wouldnt take a cat on a campsite as i believe it would be stressful for all concerned if said moggy was to find the suroundings a little too tempting to have a roam in, and perhaps be tempted to stay by finding tasty bits in someone elses van, or a cosy local house to be pampered in and not return.

can just imagine a cat allowing you to put a lead on it and take it for a walk, unless you enjoy walking along the top of a 10' high fence, climbing trees or sitting on shed roofs

My children are desperate to take our cat.  We take the dogs but when not walking we leave them in the back of our truck in the shade (they're far happier there than on a corkscrew lead).  I've told the children no as I can't be sure she won't get lost.  I'm sure she'd enjoy the van but if she was trying to find a way out all the time, that tells me she wants to roam and if she wants to do that she can stay at home. 

We saw some people in a motorhome last year peg their cat out on a corkscrewed lead during the day.  Poor thing, when dogs (the cat hating kind) walked past, she had no hope of getting away, she looked traumatised.

For me, cats are home birds, who like their own territory and love freedom.  I shan't be taking Daisy away anytime soon.  For those of you who do, I'm glad you've found a way to do it.
