If I remember right there is a LOT of room at the HS. We didnt camp there but took showers there. It seemed like there was plenty of space for larger camps. :)

Never has been a limit on tent size at any campground. Flower
If you get there early enough and there's room, you can put up a circus tent. Cheers

Thanks Tom for the info..  It's good to know that if I had a circus tent I could bring it. I could camp without all the beer at camp... although it would hard.
but crawling in and out of a pup tent all week might send over the limit...

Just be mindful of the amount of space you are taking up relative to the other festivarians...

What do I mean? I'm glad you asked...

If you plan on hanging out at other camps, or only using your camp as a home base, there is no need for a circus tent. If you plan on having 20-30 of your best friends over every night to host pickin' parties and general festivation, it would be perfectly acceptable for a large tent/ camp.

The campgrounds usually get pretty full, so if you take up more space than you can really use, your basically just stealing land from someone who has a pup tent and is just looking for a place to lay their head at night.

...it's all about respecting your neighbors, and creating an environment that works for everyone. Flower

Good answer, I think that explains it.

So it's more about the spirit than any hard and fast rules?

Which is to say if you put a big tent, expect company  Cheers

I was always told that the size of the tent does not matter, just the fun you have in it! LOL

If the ropes are angled out from your tent you've instaled them incorrctly and I'm sure a very kind Festivarian will help you correct the error in a timely mannor, for everyone else's safety, but I totally understand the duvet manuver from first hand experience.
