Advice on what to do with a towed car
I have a reservation at a campground in Yellowstone NP but my toed car makes the overlong length greater than that allowed. Any thoughts on what to do with the car while I am in Yellowstone. Anywhere ...

Per Yellowstone:
When calling to make a reservation be prepared to give the dimensions of your tent (in feet) and/or the combined dimension of your RV and any other vehicles or towed vehicles. (e.g the length of your truck in addition to the length of your trailer when fully open.)
Fishing Bridge RV sites will accommodate a towing unit and a towed unit side by side. For example, a 35-foot site would accommodate an 18-foot truck and a 35-foot trailer (unhooked) side by side in the site. Adjust for slide outs.
Campground rates are per night, for up to six people or one family (parents with dependent children) and do not include taxes and utility fee.
Campground sites that will accommodate a maximum combined length of 40-feet or more are limited.
Most campsites in Yellowstone will not accommodate oversize units. Please note: If you arrive at the campground/RV Park with equipment different than that for which you have reserved, we will not be able to accommodate you. Also, please note that all rates are subject to change without notice.
To me, that means calling and asking about your particular campground BEFORE heading out there. Fishing Bridge campground can accept the 31ft MH and the tow car because it can fit the tow car beside the MH. The other campsites appear not to have that ability (hence identifying Fishing Bridge as such). Don't take the assurances of folks here that "you will not have a problem" or you're likely to be looking for a parking lot outside of the park to leave your car.
