There will be campsites still open in Oct but not as many as a couple of weeks earlier as many of them call it a day at the end of Sept. Have a look through this site - The UK Camp Site for Tent and Caravan Campers in the UK and you might get some idea of which ones are still open.
Regarding the weather, I'm not sure where you'll be coming from but all year round UK weather is a bit of a lottery as the islands are subject to unpredictable weather patterns mainly coming from the atlantic. If a low pressure area tracks a bit higher or a bit lower it can make the difference between a storm that tears your roof off and a sunny day. In early October the good days are still pretty good - dark around 7.00pm in the south and 15C or more but if an autumn storm tracks in though it can be pretty awful. And there's no way of predicting these things. Despite computer systems that have doubled the national debt the weather people got the exact track of this morning's rain wrong from yesterday and the predicted deluge hardly dampened the garden. Looking at October from July you might well ponder Dirty Harry's question - "are you feeling lucky".
