A large one!! The tent appears to be 7.70x x 7.00 (ish)m - you then need to allow around a metre in each direction for guyropes so your tent will need around 8.70m x 8.00 metres. As well as that most campsites will want you to get your car on your pitch as well unless you plan to keep it in a separate carpark.

Pitch sizes vary from site to site, the C&CC reckon they aim for 11m x 11m BUT you have to leave 6m between units (excluding guy ropes).

Have a look at the large tent thread on the UK campsite forum for discussion on sites that take large tents.
