One of the things we learned when we started volunteering is that some sites or campgrounds might be size restricted because they simply don't want bigger trailers in the campground.
Often that has more to do with the tightness of turns in the CG, the width of the roads, the room to maneuver a trailer past obstacles, etc - than the actual campsite.
There is a loop in a favorite small COE campground we visit where some 35 ft TT came make one very obstructed turn, and most 35 ft 5th wheel trailers cannot - because the 5er driver cannot swing wide enough to keep the trailer from making contact with a tree on the inside of the turn. Every campsite on the loop can easily hold a 45 ft long rig and a 22 ft long TV. But the loop is restricted to trailers 33 ft or shorter.
