We have an Outwell Hartford XL for 2 Adults and 2 children which has a footprint something like 7 x 7M (or just over). Only since we bought it have we had to take note of site policies on sizes.

We have found quite a few sites that have a 6 x 6M standard limit for tents.

How they handle going beyond that varies from wanting to charge for two pitches or having an additional fee for "large tents".

In general though, i have no regrets in enjoying the extra space and freedom and the tent is easier to pitch than my old and smaller "ProAction" one and I see lots of Big tents these days anyway.

I would think the size you suggested will not cause many problems except perhaps at the most stringent of sites.

Our tent is 7 by 5.4. I just make sure I find out before I book whether this is acceptable and whether they're going to charge me extra (in which case I would like for a different site!)
