As stated they vary wildly. Most site give enough room for the RV and the Toad across the front, alongside or in the RV area. Best to ask if you are concerned.

TTs, 5th wheels and popups are RVs too and don't have Toads.

Then substitute the word 'toad' for 'truck'. Either you would be parking the vehicle.

We volunteered for national and state parks and no, there's no standard for the stated size. At one park early morning we assigned the reservations coming in that day to a site. We'd start with the stack of big RVs and assign the biggest site and worked our way down. We immediately noticed that we saw a lot more big sites while walking the campground than were shown on the chart we used for assigned sites. That chart had been used for many years.

So we offered to do a new chart. We inspected each site for obstructions and length of the parking pad. Since we had a 40' motorhome ourselves and previously had a 5th wheel and travel trailer, we knew how much room each one would need along with a vehicle to fit on the sites. We found a LOT more big sites that weren't marked as such on the old chart. The rangers were amazed at the increase.

While traveling, we ourselves, always found sites we'd fit that weren't marked as such. We didn't make reservations so when we arrived at a campground (mostly public ones) we could choose our own sites.
