If you did manage to crowd a Mobile Suites into a state or federal campground how long do you think you're going to stay carrying out your sewage in a little blue sewer caddy? With possibly not enough voltage to power your air conditioner? A state park near me doesn't even have water at the sites.
Mobile Suites. The name says it all. A suite of rooms that are mobile. Not necessarily an all terrain vehicle. It'll give you access to different areas of the country. But not every little corner.
For that I carry camping gear. A tent, camp stove, sleeping bag etc. I like to go "camp" at Cayo Costa State Park that won't accept any camper. Because it's on an island.
I asked my DW if she would like to go camping with me. She waves her arm toward our 400 square foot 5er with microwave, flat screen TV and so on and exclaims "THIS! is camping!" (OK, there are different opinions on what constitutes camping)
If you choose a full time unit that is too small just to fit into some of the smaller sites you'll get a case of buyers remorse that'll give you sleepless nights. With a full size camper you'll have plenty of access to parks. Unhitch the truck! Tow a Harley! Personally, I pack my touring kayak with a few days worth of food & gear and I'm off! Or leave on my touring bicycle for a day.
Even if you get into a park you can bet you're not going to be camped right at the trailhead. The riding stables will be on the other side of the lake. What are you going to do? The same as if you were parked somewhere with full hookups. Get into your vehicle and go there.
