It really depends what size their pitches are, no?

And don`t forget that though the footprint of your tent may be 8x8m, you have to add another metre on all the way round for guylines making it 10x10m. Plus you want to have room for your car, and you don`t want to be inches away from your neighbour`s tent if he has a big footprint tent too.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, 1st time for years and wan't really sure.

Many Thanks

We too have booked for East Fleet for four nights in August. We have the Hartford XL, when I sent off the booking form I stated that we wanted and elecric hook-up pitch, and I put a note that we have a larger tent and stated which tent we have and that I was not sure if we would needed to book the "larger pitch" it mentioned in their booking form, but the confimation came back as just a normal pitch. I am concerned now that we will get there and be told we needed a larger pitch as I dont think out tent is much smaller than yours?

I just put in a booking form that had two  tarrifs based on the footprint of the tent...up to 5mx5m, and up to 8mx8m. Now I know that means that many bigger tents would be excluded from this site but it`s a nice clear way to put things, don`t you think? Nothing to do with pitch size, just the footprint and there`s no excuse for not knowing that precisely after all.

(Look it up on the manufacturers website/camping shop website.)
