I am genuinely surprised by your post, in 20 years of camping with 5 children, I have never had any campsite not admit us because we had (by necessity not choice!) a large tent, and we have been to pretty much every type of campsite including plenty of small ones with simple facilities.
I googled your tent, not being familiar with it, and it is a pretty average size by family tent standards, not a huge beast at all.
If you are looking for a quiet campsite, there are so many around where the reviews say they are peaceful, I have never seen any site specify no family tents, which are the sites that say that out of interest?
I have always found the trick is, if you are limited to school holidays/weekends, to choose sites that have no all singing all dancing facilities, and in slightly less touristy areas, even if they are a bit of a drive to any attractions you want to visit, it is a much quieter and more pleasant compromise than being in the thick of a noisy packed site.
Try Shropshire (we stayed at The Green Caravan Park) or the less busy parts of the Lakes, we stayed at Baysbrown farm which is pretty basic but lovely and stunningly beautiful, fab walks and access to many nice places to go, we did take our smaller tent as it was just us and our son plus the dog, but there were plenty of families there with the usual Outwells and Vango family tents. Great and spotlessly clean hot showers and we had some wonderful meals out in the local pubs that you can walk to.
Both sites were pretty quiet, even though each time we went it was August, and no noisy groups whilst we were there, yet near to plenty of things to do, and great for kids, especially the Shropshire one, where they can play in the streams (it also had a great shop onsite with good supermarket type prices, the fresh free range eggs were cheaper in fact!)
I have reviewed both sites if you want to have a look.
Hope you find what you are looking for
