A simple phone call to any private campground will let you know if they have a spot for you. Every one we have called asks "How long is your camper? How many slide-outs do you have?" State parks and older campgrounds will be you trouble spots. Here in Pennsylvania most of the State Park campgrounds were built 40 or more years ago. Some of the sites look like two parking spots side by side at walmart. Room enough for a small pop up and the car that pulled it in. That is what they had when the Park was built. But it seems every year for the last 5 or so years they are extending the lengths of the sites and adding electric hookups. If you have the option to get someone on the phone over booking online, go with the phone. Computers lack common sense. On the PA DCNR web site you can tell it you have a 35 foot trailer and it will say there are no sites available. Tell it you have a 40 ft trailer and there will be plenty available. Just because the programmer that put the system together only used multiples of 10 when entering lengths that fit in each site.
