There is no universal standard size but as the caravan club specify 11 metres, many sites set their hardstandings & electric hook up points at around that distance.

And that caravan club and most other 'club' sites demand a 6 metre gap between units (they claim this is for 'fire safety') so you only get 5m of that.

On some commercial sites - esp if you don't have hookup - they'll pack you in as close as they can.  Sometimes with guy ropes overlapping.

welcome to UKCS you will be hooked in no time like the rest of us!!

Each campsite seems to differ - and as already said above where the is no EHU the pitches tend to be a free for all which can be problematic if someone pitches in an area that you left as space between you and the next camper!!
