The breathable groundsheets are for caravan awnings not tents with sewn in groundsheets.
It wouldn't do any good using one under your tent . Definitely not worth buying one and you shouldn't have to.
check with site by phone or email, but you shouldn't be expected to use one .

If they insist on it find another campsite .

Agree with Debbie, it's an awningthing - unless our tent is none sig then you could get a breathable one but bit squelchy unless the ground is dry underfoot.

Hi choco1666.

                      I picked up a "Aerotex" breathable ground sheet, in fact I got thier last two as they were out of the bag on display as end of season clearance, that was last November, as the "Aerotex" only comes in 8ft width, with I am using two pieces 12ft x 8ft for my ZiG Biscaya, main reason is to help protect the ZiG, and also to be compliant if anyone insists that I use a breathable groundsheet, even though as others have stated, there will be little if no benifit to the pitch if using a tent with ZiG or SiG, the insistance on breathable groundsheet is mostly for Caravan Awnings. also as I am awash with "Aerotex" I will also be using it in the Biscaya as a bedroom carpet, again to help protect the bedroom SiG, and also because the "Aerotex" is quite nice underfoot.
