Mine is 7x4 and the biggest problem I have is drying it lol. I have a small garden and a small house so I am actually looking for a smaller tent with extension. I have 4 plus 3 dogs so its not going to be easy. I have only encountered 1 site so far that charged me extra for the tent so just keep an eye on the sites you choose.

Some places do charge more for a bigger pitch but these tend to be the sites that cram everyone in exactly 6m apart and I don't want to stay at those anyway!

What does annoy me is those sites where they charge us extra for a big pitch and then charge us extra per person too. There have been a couple of places where it would have cost us less to have 2 small pitches and split the family between two little tents than having us all on the one pitch!

Mine is that size and there is only 3 of us and the dog, like others have said just find somehere that does big pitches. We've just come back from Brean, were we stayed the pitches were 9x9mtrs so plenty of room even with the awning up too.

Our Ontario 8 is 7.5m x 3.7m and we have never had a problem getting on a Club site or an independent site.

You only usually encounter being charged extra if a tent is over 5m wide.
