Hi,

We have recently gone back to tents after caravanning for years and bought the Kampa Bergen 6 Pro. It's a big tent - about 7.5m long and I've noticed a lot of sites won't take tents this size. Is this typical or have I just not been looking thoroughly? If it is the case, I would consider downsizing.

We have an 8-man tent that is a similar size. We've managed to find sites in the UK to fit it, although sometimes it is a squeeze. We generally contact the campsite before booking to check our tent will fit on the pitch. It's not usually a problem if we don't need electric hook up.
We've never had a problem fitting our tent onto french campsites, as their pitches tend to be upwards of 80m2 in area.

I have a kampa croyde 6 pro air which is about 7metres by 3 metres & I haven't had any problems with getting pitches on sites, just send them your size, you may have to pay a little more on some sites but usually they accommodate you... Happy camping...

CCC may call this a Jumbo pitch, you’ll pay a bit more. But I’ve been on plenty of independent sites where it wouldn’t be a problem - Dunroamin (in Galloway) pitches are 10x10m, for example; the only issue might be the necessity for 4m between units for fire safety. Any site would advise.

Remember to include room for guy ropes when calculating required pitch size as this adds significantly to the dimrnsions on most tents.
