Pay no attention to length restrictions. Just show up and say "So we're here, where do we park this thing?" Worst case is you spend the night in a parking lot. We've never had a problem, just don't use the same logic on camgrounds with 4wd only or boat only access!
Most of those restrictions are written for folks with zero maneuvering skills.
At the campgrounds where I camp, you try that and you'll be making a long drive home. First, there is no one to tell you where to park - you reserved a specific campsite weeks/months ago or you drive around looking for an open spot. Second, it doesn't matter how good you are at maneuvering, there is no way you are going to fit that 28 ft tt and 15 ft truck on that 20 x 10 ft parking pad. Third, there is no parking lot to be had - you're lucky if there is a gas station within an hour's drive (and that hour's drive is only 20 miles because it's a logging road).
Sounds like you're camping at Yosemite. There is a private website out there with pictures of every campsite in Yosemite to assist RV folks in choosing one that will work before you reserve.
No, not Yosemite. Mostly national forests. And yes, there are tools to help a person find a campsite that will work before you reserve - some of those tools are:
Satellite imaging to see the campground and site;
Photo websites that have photos of each campsite in the campground;
And length restriction information that is included on the reservation website.
Ignoring those and just arriving to be "told where to park" will result in no camping for you.
