Been there, done that. Even when we had our pop-up, we had no problem parking right beside the 40 foot motor home. Over time, you begin to choose your sites, not based on who parks where, but on the amenities available first. That might be "the view", and it might be how close you can get to a bath house or if you want to park under trees or in the open sun.
For us, it's always been to be within 200 feet of a water source. Of course as the trailers got longer for us, and then we went through the satellite television phase, we started parking in open areas, pull through, but always as close to a water source as we could get. I have a blue tote, so dumping is no problem, full hook or dump station, no difference there. It's all about access to drinking water for us.

Mixed with NCWriter's input which basically states a level site is your friend.
At the regular state parks I visit I already know pretty much what to expect in the non level portions of the place. Lots of late night partying reserved late people who are hoping the good weather holds up and they don't wind up in or near soon to be found lakefront camp sites like this:

Oh and I first picked a site in a state we don't live in by using Google Earth. Worthy site.
