New to rving

Well first, are you planning on staying at traditional campgrounds (national forest, state parks, national parks, etc.) or RV parks (private parks that are closer to towns and cities?

RVPARKS should be fine. They can accomodate most everyone size-wise.

Campgrounds can vary greatly. Out here in California, there are some that can only handle 20ft or less, 25ft or less, 27ft or less, 30ft or less. It can be based on the length of the parking pad or the road leading into the campground. The more remote the campground, the more likely there is a size limitation.

Much depends on which government campground you stay at as they all have different length restrictions. Sometimes it's not so much the length of the campsite as it is the tight roads getting to it.

Apologies if this appears twice. I'm new to rv and am wanting to purchase a 25' class c. I've heard that most areas have a 22-23' length restriction. So my question is that is it difficult to get around and lodge with a 25' class c ?? Any advice is greatly appreciated

Been camping in all kinds of campgrounds for 30 years and have NEVER heard of a 24' limit. Most all campgrounds now can handle 40'+ rigs.

In general, if you want to camp primarily in national parks, national forest campgrounds, and state parks, you will be better off with a camper roughly 25' or less. If you will prefer private campgrounds that are more destinations in their own right, with a pool, game room, planned activities, etc., then you can have a camper of almost any size. This is a broad generalization, but it might give you an idea of what you might need.

Depends on where you go to camp. Some old camp grounds may have restrictions regarding to size. But most have bèen upgraded to handle up to 40 footers easily.
