Just don't go there, find somewhere that likes tenters! Bet they don't have that restriction on caravans, can you imagine telling a family of 4 in a caravan that it can't be any bigger than that!

This annoys me - there are plenty of families out there tent camping, yet there money does not seem important to some site owners.
Yet the same sites allow large vans, with huge awnings.

If the campsite has a rule which states a tents maximum size, then they do. It is one of their rules and as simple as that and if you choose to go there you abide by the rules
Simply find another site that will accept a larger tent, job done.

usually this means either they don't really want tenters , or else they can charge a fortune because the average family tent is a lot bigger than that.

If the site has size restrictions and your tent exceeds these then look somewhere else - simple!!!!

Yes, of course if a site has limits - and if it has fixed size pitches then there will ahev to be a limit, go somewhere else. but typically the sorts of sizes were are tlaking about might be say 6M
But I'm wondering if what the OP wrote in the correct size limit, becuase 2.5m x 2.5 m isn't really very big in tent terms is it? My cycling/backpacking 2 man tent - a Saunders Spacepacker Plus it probably just a bit bigger than that.
