500 feet should do it. Seriously, in my home with the double wide garage doors shut and the generator outside, I did have the CO alarm in the basement go off. It was three house doors and at least 200 feet away.
Lots depends on the direction of the wind. CO is tricky and it only takes a few parts per million for serious problems.

As an aside, how far away from the camper does the generator have to be to be considered safe? That pic was taken boondocking in a church parking lot for 10 days with temps in the 20's. Ran the generator 6-8 hours/day to keep the batteries charged. Most of the time it was running we weren't even in the camper.
