Reserving Space

I am a complete novice when it comes to reserving camp sites online. The TT we bought is a North Trail 31BHDD. Printed OAL is 35' and our truck is 19' totaling 54'. I am assuming I have to add length for the hitch as well so we'll call it 55' for a round number.

When you reserve a site do you always reserve a 55'+ site? I am finding that in some campgrounds those sites are hard to come by.

On a side note, Some of these reservation systems suck. I am trying to reserve at Mazama Campground at Crater Lake. I don't care when as I have a lot of flexibility. Yet I can't search for available sites regardless of date./end rant/
  • For Campgrounds, I only consider the length of the trailer. I can park my truck somewhere else if need be. I've never ran into a problem using this method, and 99.9% of the time I can park the truck beside the RV.
  • I don't know what they mean by that either and I have been RV camping for a very long time. When they say what size is the rig I go by trailer size I have never had a problem. I would think they mean trailer size. So when you look for a spot just include the trailer not the hitch and truck. Now when reserving space on a ferry, you need to include both truck trailer and hitch length. Hope this helps.
