Anyone been to Oakdown caravan site? (just been voted aa campsite of the year)
Made a bit of a boo-boo, booked it and so looking forward to going, for 3 nights at the end of august - but just showing the kids where we are going and saw that the max size of units is: 6m x 4m, oooppppsss - ours (approx. with guy ropes) is: 8m x 5m, Vango Maritsa 700, as there are 6 of us. Have messaged them, but how much of a problem with this be? really don't want to be changing campsite now as would be hard pressed tofind somewhere as nice at this late notice in our price range - arrggghhh! any advice appreciated :)

Max size of tent is usually base size , not guys and tent..
Just looked 5.1 x 7.4 for the Maritsa.
Might be worth a polite phone call. We have been to sites over the max tent size. I always ring and ask them stating that ours is a bit over and will it be a problem???
Only 1 said, 'sorry, no can do!' as they were nearly full and only had small pitches left. We still fit on with oversize tent, car and trailer so I think they just don't want the massive tents (though we have a Montan 6p and awning/cover).
They might be able to accommodate you with an end pitch where you can go over the line a bit, so don't panic too much yet. Don't hold your breath for a return email, I don't know why but campsites are always slow to return messages and you have to ring them direct.
Its all good - had a email from them this morn - asking for payment, which confused the heck out of me haha, so I rang them and she confirmed she had found me a bigger pitch for £2 extra per night, so were still going! yay! thanks for the advice :)
