Your looking at a pitch of about 7m x 8m for the 600. I think you might struggle to get a pitch at a CCC site during peek times, seems a new rule has been introduced this year. I'd ring the site directly and see if they are OK with it.

Looking at the picture on this link it must be at least 8m wide, so I would say its well over the 5m limit. It 4m across the middle and each room is 2m

Hope that helps...

I asked the C&CC site at Chertsey when we were booking and still thinking about getting a 600.  Catagorically its on their "too big" list.

We recently asked the C&CC site about pitch sizes at the Forestry Commision sites in the New Forest that they now run, and were told two different answers on two different phone calls. First one was that the pitches were 7x5m and you just had to fit into that. Then they told us that anything more than a 6 man tent would need two pitches.

Make of that what you will. Personally, i'm working off the size limit as my Coleman Columbus 8 is only 6x3.5m but (theoretically) can take 8 people.

Like some others have commented, I think sites are beginning to make mental notes of the common big tents and the Vango Diablo's seem to be one of them.

Some of the C&CC sites actually have written lists.  The one of Chertsey aksed if he could go and check the list when I rang them.  Problem solved, We're only taking the VV 500.
