Lower Pines has some sites where you can park your truck along side your trailer, but there is no way of telling from the listings which is which. In Upper Pines usually the stated driveway length is all there is. When I used to camp there with my 21 foot trailer and Ford Explorer, I would pick a 35 foot or longer site. Most of the time I could squeeze the Explorer in front. Last time there with a 32 foot motor home in a 35 foot site I had no room for my toad. Most of the sites have one of those concrete curb things in the back. If you have good clearance you can let the back of the trailer extend over it and get a few more feet. Good Luck, camping in the valley is worth the hassle.
So it sounds like the listed equipment/driveway length is exactly what it says and don't expect to fit more. I know the concrete curb things you're talking about. I think my trailer would clear that; I'll take a look at my rear end this weekend. Thanks.
