Local knowledge counts for an awful lot. NPs & SPs can often underestimate the size RV that a site can handle. Maybe this has something to do with the lack of ability of so many drivers, especially reversing into tight spots.
For example, this weekend will be a busy one for a SP we want to be in. Halloween & all. We were there last night for one night. Reservation tags for next weekend are already on the posts. Only a few left available. Had a look & made notes of preference of what was left.
First choice will be tight but certainly doable for our 30' plus length. Been in many tighter sites before. Well, online the site is listed as a less than 20' site & would not process the reservation being honest about our length. Soooo, for the reservation we have become a less than 20' 5er.
We just know that many of the sites listed online suitable for over 40' units will be occupied by pop ups, class Cs, Bs, tents & short TTs. Irritating but it will never change.
So, if you are larger than average & are going to use a particular CG frequently, get to know the sites. Your first choices may well be occupied something much smaller than you & it is handy to know what else you can use, even if it is going to be a bit of a challenge.
