Spent an hour or so reading posts concerning Yellowstone but never found a clear answer to my questions.I know I want to stay inside the park, leaning toward Bridge Bay. On the website it lists the limit for RV's at 40 feet. I come in at 42 feet, will I have any issues or are they not kidding about that 40 feet max limit? Also I have a toy hauler wich is tall, any concerns with clearance?

At Fishing Bridge, no problem with the height (mostly) and the extra 2' - just make sure you're backed in snug and as far back as you can go. You should be ok. Someone who has been there quite recently will be along to answer your question more in depth!WoodGlue

They don't come out and use a tape measure on your RV. The problem is that Fishing Bridge sites are very narrow and tight. If you can get into the site I doubt anyone will complain.BK

Nope. Sorry. The length is the LOA. LOA to them is bumper to bumper, truck & trailer. Tried 2 weeks ago for Bridge Bay myself for the end of July. No luck.At 55'LOA I squeezed into Bridge Bay in 08. No reservations that time. Must have been extremely lucky.Try them on the phone. You might get lucky.

Well, at least in the case of Fishing Bridge, the length they are talking about is the length of the RV not including any tow vehicle. There is a space for your vehicle next to the RV as it is parked. One would think that that would be the case at most of the other campgrounds in Yellowstone.To tell them that your RV is 55' would be a mistake unless you don't intend to unhook the tow vehicle. It's no wonder that they couldn't find a space for that length.Keith

My brother stays there. His coach is 40 feet 6 inches. He does stick out 6 inches and they put an orange cone in front of his rig. I would call them and give correct numbers, maybe they have a extra long spot somewhere. Maybe when you un hitch you could lose 2 feet? You would be fine then. My brother also has a toad along. parks on the side.
