Length restricted rv parks

How many rv parks that anyone has run across do not allow anything any bigger than 40’? Thx

A lot! It is humorous for me to see folks with short campers answering the question and say they have not seen that problem. Also, the longer you are the more difficult to level on a slope.

I cannot imagine owning an RV that might be too big for an RV park.
I like em under 25 feet. Then they fit almost everywhere.

Many National Forest Service parks have limited length restrictions. If you like to boondock you will find many such restrictions.

I have run into a few length limited parks.. For example the vendor operated RV park inside the Grand Canyon National Park is length limited. So I drive through it.. WITH MY CAR and .. Well.. Yes.. I'd not wish to try to take my 38' Class A into that place. the turns are too tight.. I have been in some state parks like that as well back in my PUP days even with the PUP one of them was tight.

So now you know. it is not "Discrimination" it is turning radius.

IN the northeast there are many older parks that have limitations on length of RV's. Same with state parks all around the country.

I have not seen any parks advertise a length limitation but if you look at the site there may not be any that are empty that will fit a rig of that size. They may have one or two but you may also never be able to get one of those. There is a Michigan State Park that has 5 sites that are good for 40 foot but you would never make the turn at the end of the row if anyone else is in the park.

Something I've seen occasionally are parks that have SITES for my 40', but the access lanes aren't designed for it. Most noticeably, those parks where you have the long rows of sites with 180 turns at the end, but trees everywhere. Mostly happens in the state/federal parks or older parks that were designed in the 50s/60s for smaller RVs.

A huge percentage of the RV parks out there were built years ago before the gargantuan RVs of today were ever thought about and so they aren't able to provide the space needed for them. Any good RV directory will show the maximum length permitted but it would still be nice to call ahead if you're wanting a space before you pull in only to be disappointed.

None that can think of. We've hit all the lower 48.

I’m 43 feet tip to tail but with a TT articulated after the first 17 feet and there are still some campgrounds I can’t use. Therefore, no 40 foot MHs for me. I want to see or re-see this great country.
