National Parks & A-Class length

I am a fulltimer, have a 38' Newmar. I have not been to all the national parks, but my experience has been mixed. Some parks have cg's that will accommodate, others, no. It hasn't posed any problems, there are always private run cg's nearby that have large sites. I have stayed at cg's in the Grand Canyon, Zion, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone; but not in Yosemite, Sequoia, Acadia - just to give a few examples. Similar experiences with state parks, but we did manage to use several Oregon coastal state parks without any difficulty. We do make reservations in advance, there are not a lot of sites that will fit a larger mh, and they go quickly.

I would suggest that you pick your motorhome, based on the floorplan - not on fitting into parks. This will be your home, you can always compromise on where you park it. Good luck and welcome to fulltiming

Excellent advice. After 6 years of full time in a 40 footer and 4 years of 1/2 timing in a 41 ft. I think this is the best and most realistic answer you could get. The space size stated in online reservation systems are not always accurate and the booking agent most likely never been to the state the park is in so their personal knowledge is what comes up on their computer screen. Check RVparkreviews.com they have good information. Also you can Google Earth the park and get a very good idea as to access etc.
