Most reservation systems will account for the tow vehicle when you enter "trailer" and the length of the trailer only.
Most of the federal forest campgrounds out here have a designated "overflow area". This area provides parking for your included vehicles (all campgrounds allow one vehicle per site, some allow a second at no extra charge) and/or for an "extra" vehicle (some campgrounds allow you to pay an extra fee to park one vehicle more than your included count).
The overflow parking may be right in the loop or it could be just inside or outside the campground.
If you arrive at a campground and the only site available will accommodate your trailer only, then I recommend talking nice to the camphost and being happy to park your tow vehicle in an overflow area. If you make a fuss, they can simply refuse to let you stay.
You should NOT have to book a double site to accommodate your trailer and tow vehicle. A double site is meant to accommodate 2 RVs (as in 2 trailers and 2 tow vehicles). A single site is meant to accommodate 1 RV.
