Don't count on 50 amp being available, they are upgrading slowly but surely but very expensive so being stretched out over time.
We have a 36' motorhome with dolly and toad and have not had a problem, some parks you drive around in carefully and some site you may have to be careful with how you position in spot for your slides. We see many 40-45' rigs around us in most places. Oakzanita near San Diego maybe an exception as it is a very small park and only few spots can hold larger rigs. Don't remember any being small when we were in OR last spring.
One you might try is a zone pass, all you will be out is the annual dues and if you don't like it/doesn't work for you then you tell them not to renew.
Keep in mind the 50 amp vs. 30 amp is pretty common issue through out the membership campgrounds. They can not raise the spot fees to recover the investment like public campgrounds so are much slower to do the upgrade.
One thing I believe is pushing the upgrades is the old infrastructure is having more and more issues and it would be foolish to redo the power systems and stay at 30 amp max. Now some places may because the power company can not supply and more power to the location.
