Hi,

Me and my hubby have just purchased the nevada 10 man tent, cheap on Ebay without taking into account the size of the it! It has just occured to us as we lay the groundsheet out, a whole 7 meters of it, we may not be abe to take it to campsites as they dont have pitches big enough for us??

As newbys we were hoping to go to the main resorts so there was plenty on hand for us and the kids but thier pitch sizes are 6x6 ft.

Please help! Can anyone re assure me that we still can use it.....somewhere?

Many thanks,

Sam

You won't have a problem, just have a look here:

Sites accepting large tents

We have a large tent and haven't had a problem at any site we've visited. Always worth a quick call to the site just to check, but you should be fine.

Just going to say theres a link on here about sites accepting large tents...

I'm not bragging.....but ours is massive compared to yours LOL. Our diablo 900 requires a 10 x 10 mtr pitch and weve been to loads and its been fine, even had room for day tent too!!!

I've paid extra for larger pitches (Unity Farm) and been shown to a normal sized pitch and so complained and given one that was longer but not wider????

Weve been to Chy Carne, Unity farm - both with leccy & Midbrooks &  Pantglas Farm without.

FoO you are a bad influence!!!! Nobody needs multiple tents (ahem,cough,splutter),one is quite sufficient.

Well done at getting a bargain,even if it is an aircraft hanger (joking),we used to have a monster tent and didn't have any problems,relax and enjoy!

Phew!!

Thanks v much for your reassurance! and the links. I have clamed down a little bit now and am looking forward to ore first experience  in our home form home!

I'll no doubt be picking all your brains again at some point for something or other!

Pleased to *meet* you all and once again, thanks.

Are you sure about the 6ft x 6ft?  That means only the small, festival type tents would fit.
