Some sites will include your guys when giving pitch sizes but usually it doesn't.

I always find the best thing to do is ring the site directly and give them your tent footprint - then they can ensure they have a suitable sized pitch when you arrive.

It would appear that tents over 5m seem to have more difficulty and less choice of site.
Our Ontario 8 is 7.5m x 3.7m and we have never had a problem getting on a site or been charged extra.

Odds
Weve been on pitch sizes from 6m x 6m up to 14m x 5m and most sizes in between for non ccc sites there are no rules regarding pitch sizes. However we have found and we talking about marked pitches that campsites are catering more and more for caravans/motorhomes so pitches tend to be longer and narrower especially those with EHU

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
