I am really struggling to find a campsite that will accept our huge Diablo 900.  We've only just bought it and can't take it to our usual campsite.  Most of the links on the string about big tents don't accept such large tents.  Can anyone help?  Really want to go Southwest England..... Thanks :o)

My sister has a big 12 man Aztec tent and has not had a problem with any sites here in North Devon refusing her.
As long as your tent does not encroach onto other pitches then there shouldn't be a problem.

Are you asking before you arrive on sites if they are accepted? if you were just to turn up, pay your money and pitch the tent, then i doubt that anyone would say anything about your tent.

Last week my sister was camping at Watermouth Valley campsite in North Devon, and a lot of the tents there made her 12 man Aztec look very small!

My advice would be to turn up, pay, pitch the tent, and stay within your own pitch area, nobody will have any reason to complain about your tent then!

Stowford Country holidays (Stowford Farm Meadows) have some HUGE pitches, massive site so they might be able to fit you in. Our daughter has a 10 man tunnel tent and it fitted easily, with plenty of room for the car, windbreaks, etc.

Thanks U-F-C and Merlina40. I have now booked Stowford Farm Meadows who did not actually ask for the size of the tent.......

What a trauma it has been trying to find somewhere!!  Almost regretted buying the new tent but REALLY looking forward to using it now!

When we were at Perran Sands Haven near Perranporth Cornwall we saw some huge tents pitched but the site is a dump and i wouldn't reccommend unless it was to a mortal enemy lol.

Hi

Try here http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=6278 (Treveague Farm) we had a Royal Montpellier 9 tent when we went here, the pitches are quiet big.

Hope this helps

I wouldn't sleep at night if I had a big tent and hadn't told them how big it was. I'd have nightmares for weeks about pitching it and then getting thrown off!

We hve just come back from Budemeadows North Cornwall. We have a Diablo 900.

Our pitch accomodated, our tent, a windbreak and two cars with loads of room for five to sit out/ bar - b - que etc.

Just let them know what your tent is and the will find the most suitable pitch they have left.

 It's a great site wh the most helpful owners I have ever met!

Hi Anne. Glad you got sorted, but I agree with Piglet. I said that Stowford "have" some huge pitches, that does,t necessarily mean they have given one of them to you. I would strongly advise giving them a quick call and just say that when booking the size wasn,t asked for and that you are concerned about it.

Hope you have a great holiday, i'm down there 23rd Aug, can't wait

Penhaven Camp Site nr St Austell have always accomodated us in our massive 12 man tent. They also have 2 "outer fields" where the pitches are not marked so you can take up as much room as you want !!!
