Hi - we also bought the vango diablo 600 this year to replace our previous tent.  We have just returned from a week at The Old Oaks in Glastonbury.  We had no problem pitching the tent and would say that the site was absolutely brilliant.  The pitches were huge.  One thing to bear in mind is that this campsite is an adults only site. We would highly recommend it.  I don't think you will be disappointed with the diablo, we are extremely pleased with our purchase.

Hi

The Diablo 600 is a brilliant tent you will not be disapointed.

We came back from conwy touring park few weeks ago they are an excellent site in Wales, We stayed in the Red field the pitch was big enough for the tent, utility tent and the car.

We have just booked for August at Plassey leisure park in Wrexham, and they allow tents up to 6 man and an awning/ utility tent.

link for you.

hope that helps

Maxine.

We were at Fforest Fields first bank holiday in May and the people next to us had a Diablo- certainly not a problem with the size - we had loads of room.

Hi

We have a Vango (love it) and have stayed at Beverly Park in Devon and are staying at Newperran in Newquay next month. Christine the owner says the pitches are very big so we should have no problem.

Hope this helps, Lisa x

We have Diablo 900 and have camped without issue at a few sites. Just tell them before hand.

I would recommend here :-

Big pitches, great site, great people.

We have a Biarritz 9 ( same as a Diablo 9) and have had the same issues. However we are booked to go to Eskdale C andCC in Cumbria and Spiers house, Yorkshire next month. They were happy when we told them the size. Not so Haltwhistle C and CC who were less than polite!

Hi

We stayed at Greenhills Camp Site in Bakewell (google it) and lots of room there for big tents plus electric hook up.  Lots of nice views, bar, football field and play equipment.

We've also stayed at Lane Ends in Hope Valley.  We told them we had a Diablo 600 and they put us with the caravans (electric hook up).  This was a nice campsite too near a stream.

Happy camping!
