it depends on the park.... some parks are remote with very little traffic. so you can usually stay a bit longer without worry.

all parks have a limit, but in the less busy areas the rangers realize that people can stay in the area for a long time by just moving to the other park down the road, and if its not busy they wont usually bother to make you do this just to satisfy the "rules"... if they arent busy, you keep a nice clean campsite and a low profile they usually give a bit of grace and overlook your check-in date...
when working in an area, we have always looked for the remote campgrounds, and have stayed there for months at a time, with the blessing of the rangers, as were werent attempting to take advantage, but only using a couple spaces that werent in demand by other campers..
in busy parks, its just not ok to even try to overstay the limit...
