5 x 11 metres. That's not a tent that's a field hospital! Good luck. I thought our tent was big.

Camping Baia Verde at Manerba del Garda has a lovely pool and restaurant, only 89 pitches (compared with Bella Italia, one of the most popular sites, with 400.) The pitches are about 90 sq metres, and aren't hedged so the site has a spacious feeling. We had plenty of room for our large caravan, full awning and car.
Conca d'Oro on Lake Maggiore has pitches up to 100 sq metres, and gets good reviews - we're hoping to go there this year.
Or you could try one of the less well known lakes, Caldonazzo. We stayed in Camping al Pescatore, which has pitches from 70 to 100 sq m. We chose a pitch along the outside edge, which seemed more roomy than the ones in the usual grid pattern. It has a terrific restaurant and the lake is lovely, and much quieter than Garda.
There are reviews for all these sites in the review section.

If you have a look on the ACSI Card website (www.campingcard.co.uk discount ACSI Card tab if you're going in low season, but you can also use the Eurocampings tab if you're going in high season and won't be using the ACSI Card) you will see that the site description contains pitch sizes. Some suggest that they have larger pitches than the Italian average - Camping Azzurro, Lago de Ledro, for instance, describes pitches from 75 to 125 square metres and gets a decent review score. Camping Mario Village has pitches from 100 to 150 square metres and is also on a lake - Caldonazzo
If you use the advanced search facility you can select 'suitable for tents' and then 'suitable for twin axles', 'pool', 'restaurant' etc., and narrow down the search. Searching for sites allowing twin axles will generally find those with bigger pitches.
