Four room tents are pretty rare :-) Any tent this size is going to be quite heavy and only suitable for car camping. I tend to agree with the previous poster that 2 large tents would be better than one huge tent.
The The Grand Pass Family Dome made by Mountain Trails is a two roomed tent that sells for under $200 another to consider is the Great Basin made by Wenzel at only a little over $100 it represents excellent value for money.

What is the average size of a camp site for tent camping?

When camping in either a private or state campground, how big are the campsites on average?
Put another way, how much tent can we fit in a spot? Are there restrictions?
In reference to the first answer, we actually have a 40' coach but that goes in an spot with hookups. It's been many years since we camped in a tent and want to do some of that too but I'm being told that 12' x 12' is the max tent camping site or at least in Co state parks for example.
I have a hard time believing that myself. As for a tent, we're still shopping but looking at large as in 10' x 14'
I figure if a tent trailer could fit then why not me but what do I know?
Answer
Whatever size tent you get, you'll be fine. Campgrounds are not as small as you've been told. Choose the tent based on what's comfortable for your family or camping group. Even consider a second tent for kids who are a little older and want some space.
Choosing a great campsite has more to do with whether it's wooded or not, weather it has grass or mud, whether other people have to cut through your site to get to theirs, and so on. To find out about those things, research the campgrounds at www.woodalls.com. Woodall's also publishes books listing campgrounds in various regions of the U.S. They describe the campground, give directions and phone numbers, and rate the facililites and cleanliness. You can call them and ask where the best campsites are for your preferences.
