Hansen campgrounds web site says that even Fantasy RV Tours use it. Shows some big rigs there.

I just looked real quick at Harve RV Park ( assuming that's the one ) and they DO NOT advertise Big Rig Friendly..I also usually do a google maps look at places that I have not been to, and looking at it, I see all back in sites, with a few that look like they are parallel parked in there.. If I wanted Big Rig, that would not have been my choice

Read the Woodall's big book!There is no warning to give anyone an idea that you can't get a Class A thru their camp grounds. There is nothing, we use the big book because their isn't must cell service out here. Reservations, LOL Remember it is Oct. We have noticed that every campground we've passed is empty, some are even closed for the winter.

You assumed correctly.

Is it required to advertise That?

well,

When a campground does NOT have Big Rig Friendly checked off, that USUALLY means that it is a smaller campground, or has narrow access roads, or smaller sites, or all the above....

RV park reviews

Now on the other hand, It is a shame that the Woodalls Big Book did not tell it was NOT Big Rig Friendly..

FWIW, other than the "big rig" questions, the one in Havre is not bad. It's convenient, has a laundromat, and seemed well kept when we were there a few years ago. Wasn't much else there at the time!

Forgive my ignorance, but what constitutes a "Big" rig? I've seen Class A's that are smaller than many 5th wheels and Class C's that aren't much bigger than Class B's and the opposite end of the spectrum too. Is there a certain length or height that would indicate it's in the "Big" rig category?

No mention of problems with big rigs on RV Park Reviews, but the "big rig friendly" box is red. Got a 6.8 because of the train and road noise. We normally stay away from parks that don't get at least a 7.5

:h

Whatever the name is of this "bad campground" are they false advertising or stating somewhere the sites are not back in or more than 40'? It sounds like a lack of doing ones homework before making a reservation?
