I've known some sites lock the boxes that contain the power hook ups, Sao Martinho do Porto was one I remember. But that's easily bypassed because the gap at the bottom where the cables come out was so large, or with the aid of a utility key. The only real note to remember if connecting stealthily is that most touring camp sites patrol the site at breakfast time and early evening to do an "inventory" of who's on site (No of people), what vehicles are on site, what size tent your using, so they can charge accordingly as they charge per person, per vehicle, what size tent s/m/l, and who is using power. So if you where to hook up your cable in the evening after they've been round, this will allow you to have power/light when it gets dark, allowing you and your chums to sit around late into the night drinking beer etc. Just remember to unplug it before going to bed, or in the morning before they come around again
