In traveling full-time for 16+ years we've never found that stated size campsites are true or uniform from park to park. It's just a guess on your part.
One of our volunteering gigs in Rocky Mtn. Nat'l Park was to actually measure the campsites and make a list of what size RV with vehicle would fit in that site. It was amazing comparing our recommendations to the old list they used.
We've always preferred public parks - national, state, national forests, etc. and for the most part, a site with a 35' max could fit our 40' motorhome with the Jeep usually parked in front of the MH and angled across the front. We became pretty creative in parking the Jeep! If you have a big dually truck then you probably couldn't park angled like that. Most campgrounds request that you park in the parking area - not in the vegetation.
