Site length is not always the problem. Access roads can be. Many NF or FS camp grounds are more than 30 years old by now. Built when a large RV was maybe 25 feet long.

Never found a site that couldn't accommodate the big a** 5th wheel but in at least two state park CG's, we had to enter opposite the one-way traffic pattern to avoid either overhanging trees or turns that were too tight to make with a long combo.
It was all do-able though.
