Hi,

We have recently gone back to tents after caravanning for years and bought the Kampa Bergen 6 Pro. It's a big tent - about 7.5m long and I've noticed a lot of sites won't take tents this size. Is this typical or have I just not been looking thoroughly? If it is the case, I would consider downsizing.

We have an 8-man tent that is a similar size. We've managed to find sites in the UK to fit it, although sometimes it is a squeeze. We generally contact the campsite before booking to check our tent will fit on the pitch. It's not usually a problem if we don't need electric hook up.
We've never had a problem fitting our tent onto french campsites, as their pitches tend to be upwards of 80m2 in area.

I have a kampa croyde 6 pro air which is about 7metres by 3 metres & I haven't had any problems with getting pitches on sites, just send them your size, you may have to pay a little more on some sites but usually they accommodate you... Happy camping...

CCC may call this a Jumbo pitch, you’ll pay a bit more. But I’ve been on plenty of independent sites where it wouldn’t be a problem - Dunroamin (in Galloway) pitches are 10x10m, for example; the only issue might be the necessity for 4m between units for fire safety. Any site would advise.

-------------
2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.

Remember to include room for guy ropes when calculating required pitch size as this adds significantly to the dimrnsions on most tents.
