Anyone had problems pitching vango 900 or similar at any sites or been charged double pitch prices?

Any recommendations of sites in Northumberland that will accept this size tent please?

Hi Grace and Welcome to UKCS

It must be a bit quiet tonight as lots of people have this tent and big tents on small sites is a hot topic at the moment as sites seem to be restricting the size in a few places.

There is a list of sites that do accept big tents here but in general I think most still do take them - have you been asked about the size of your tent?

Don't be surprised if your post gets moved - there are camp site and tenting subsections on here so the web people may move your post - you'll get an email if they do though.

Hi Grace, welcome to ukcampsite.co.uk,!

Some camp sites are no charging extra for the very large 'Y' shaped tents, the ones I have heard of are charging around £5 more than they do for a typical 4-6 berth tent.

Hopefully some of the '900' owners will get back to you shortly as to sites in the Northumberland area who charge an acceptable price.

Grace, welcome to the site, I'd suggest you do a search on the Diablo 900, it is a tent that lots of people bought last year - there are some problems with it (see "saggy bedrooms" thread) and you might find that this year there are some better options around than the Diablo but the previous threads will give you some idea of the mix of comments on it.
