According to the General Camping Guidelines, this means we need to rent two campsites? 60 feet by 20 feet to hold one car and two tents that together are smaller than most tents, even storage tents, described above?
(By the way, I bought my tent in a general supermarket on the way to a British airshow when I realised I'd forgotten my old tent at home. If I'm not mistaken, it cost me c.50 USD, but it has now served me through 4 or 5 AirVentures, and the only time I've got wet was when I got caught in a downpour while setting up the tent - even an economy car can be a really convenient windbreak.)
