To be honest I have never seen any reference to oxygen cylinders on site. We do sometimes get members asking a questions about oxygen but this is more to do with where it can be sourced if someone is away from home longer than the supplies they have with them.Providing they are used in the way they are intended in terms of safety I can't see the Club having a particular view.

There is no problem with it at all.
A lot of holiday accomodatiion allow the NHS oxygen supply contractors to install oxygen equipment in their rooms, ready for your arrival.
It's all perfectly safe.
If going in a caravan / motorhome I assume you would need to be sure you took an adequate supply with you.
My Dad had pulmonary fibrosis.

For info only. If you are carrying the oxygen in your car/motor home, then be advised that you notify your vehicle insurance company. I had reason a few years ago to do this for a family member using oxygen whilst out. It is better that they know than not at all. It made no difference to the policy, just notification.

Why would you need to notify your insurance to carry a few bottles of oxygen?
It's not as if you're doing it commercially. Would you notify them if you were collecting some flat pack furniture from Ikea?

In case your involved in an accident and there was a fire. They need to know the risk they are covering.
If you do it on a regular basis you should also display a "Cylinders" sticker on the back of the car.

You can have the smaller 1.5kgs and a max of two bottles can be delivered to the site. The only proviso is you pick them up on the day they are delivered. The site does not have the capacity to store oxygen. On departure, the member must inform the supplier to collect the bottles on the day of departure....
