What would annoy me most is not the fact that they make a charge for anything over a small tent but that there is no equivalent charge for caravans.  Most caravans are bigger than 8ft by 6ft, and ok they are charged for awnings, you could take a massive caravan and pay no surcharge.   They also do not seemt o charge extra for trailer tents either.

This would suggest to me that, either they are just being greedy or that they wish to discourage tent owners.

Hello Rex,

I went to the site several years ago, it is not very big.  It is a nice site, though the facilities were a little basic (much better than the worse I have experienced though).  I was able to rent a canoe fron the site, which was the reason I went there.  Apart from the the thrill of taking my family up the river for a day my biggest memory was the sound of the neighbouring entertainment facilities until 1900hrs.  I don't get headaches a lot, but did there.  Maybe it has changed in the last three years, but if not I wouldn't be too unhappy with not going.  I would say the sizes you quote are a might stingy though, it would not accomodate what most consider a weekender.
