Totally agree with Marg6 above.
With these dimensions...
Plus at least 1m all round (each side/each end) for guys (and preferably 1.5m all round!), you'd need a minimum of 9.1m x 5.05m (preferably 10 x 6)... and that doesn't leave room for car/trailer/outdoor seating/kids bikes etc.
This size tent is not out of the ordinary by today's standards, so I too would suggest the sites you are looking at are out of date!
Dare I say, you may be better off looking for a camp site, as opposed to a holiday park?
Many may restrict the width of the pitch (due to having neighbours next door, of course) but not the length. Look for sites that pitch around the perimeter of the camping field and/or unmarked pitches.
Something like this... but we're all in one family group, so deliberately set up a little closer than normal to each other. Normally you'd have enough space for a car and then a comfortable gap, between each set up...
In fairness, our tent & caravan to the right are on EHU pitches, the 2 tents to the left are not, but out of shot, to the right of the pic, the electric pitches continue along the perimeter. There are no pitch markers/boundaries, although some do need a good 25m of cable, to reach the nearest electric post.
Chances are, the site will still need to ask what size you are, but that is so they can make allowances, and decide where to put you/others, rather than say you are too big!
Good luck... they are out there! :-)
PS:
A phone call is never a bad idea... discuss your requirements, and see if they can accommodate you. So much easier/more pleasant than "robotic" websites!
