Some sites don't have a late arrivals area so anyone turning up "after hours" is going to have a problem, most sites say arrivals are okay up to 8.00pm but if running late I know most site wardens will try and help, happened to us a few years back at Cirencester due to an accident on the M42. We phoned ahead and explained and the warden said not a problem, just ring once arrived (around 8.15pm from memory) and he came out to us, let us in and told us to come to the office the next day to pay.
That was all very reasonable Gary and many wardens would be prepared to accommodate after the 8pm cut off but ofcourse only if they're on site and not out for the evening. But judging by the camc review I previously posted, it just serves to demonstrate how much grief they get from the demanding, entitled few.

A site is unlikely not to have a warden on safety grounds. I’ve always found Wardens on both clubs’ site as friendly and helpful. One trip heading south from Yorkshire we had two dogs with bad tummies so we did consider just dashing for home rather than the overnight stopover. I phoned the wardens who said not a problem but if we do decide to stopover they would reserve us a pitch next to the gate in to the forest so the dogs could be taken out quickly. We opted for the stopover to give us and the dogs a break.

I would not "expect" a warden to work out of hours to suit late arrivals.
This is frequently provided by a late arrivals area where the site has room and permission to have that feature. I would certainly not expect site access as opposed to using the late arrivals area.
Whilst it is our leisure activity, for them it is their employment on a contractual base, hours duties etc.
That they do quite frequently I take very much as a privilege rather than my "right".
As said where going to sites without a late arrival provision, where for whatever reason we were likely to be late I would ring, before the deadline time to update them on our predicament. If that yielded an offer I would graciously accept it, if not I would, and have explored the 5 van on route options.

The sites terms an conditions are what a caravanner is bound by when they agree a booking it's a contract. Caravanners should be prepared to accept any limitations set out by the T&C's. However if a warden is happy to bend the rules then that's fine, but they are not obliged to.
It's a generally accepted ethic that all capitol questions or answered are unacceptable.
