I am staying at this site for four days in the summer and understand that I need to get rock pegs as its hardstanding - as my tent is 6.5m x 7.5m cross shaped and the hardstanding area is 5mx5m will I need rock pegs on the areas that go onto the grass around the hardstanding?

Thanks

It might be a good idea to take enough rock pegs to cover all pegging points as some times the grass may be laid over hardcore/pebbles, it will save the hassle of trying to hammer in wire pegs and then having to straighten them out.

Check with them about the size of the tent because I dont know if you are allowed to pitch on the grass at all.

Same here Steve. I discarded plastic pegs years ago and haven't encountered a problem since.

I've found the best ones are the ones sold by CC Site receptions. They resemble 10" nails with a cross piece and sell for about 45p each. Well worth the outlay.

we go here a lot and would reccommend rock pegs all round, they do sell and hire them on site.
