When we were planning our trip out west last year we ran into this same thing. Measure tip to tail or spare if that is the longest point. No way hooked up. Most older national parks are not set up with a lot of sites much over 30'. Know when you are planning to be there and register as soon as possible as most especially the popular parks fill up fast.
When regestering get as big as you need and if not available ask about nearby campgrounds.

Thanks! We're looking at 5er's and mhs tomorrow, but a long way from buying. Way to much to learn!
You are not alone. I am four years out from retirement.
I've checked on the NP and some SP Camp grounds, not all but a few. The Fifth Wheel length i have settled to look for is between 30' to a max of 35'. Still researching for more information. There is still a lot of information out there to help guide you to understanding what will be involved in RVing with a Fifth Wheel, or if you go with a Mh.
Best of luck in your search.
