I have never heard of any NP or COE or for that matter, any SP that will not allow canvas campers, hybrids, popups, tents. As will anything check for yourself.
I have and I've been to them, try some of the glacier park, yellowstone, and the tetons campgrounds. There are specific campgrounds that will only allow hard side trailers, no canvas sided trailer, no tents.
I think I recall that some Yosemite campgrounds are similar, but can't say with certainty.
And it isn't just in park campgrounds, there are other FS campgrounds I've been to in bear country that will not allow anything but hard sided trailers.
And they often have 'bearproof" boxes at each campsite to store anything food related. No coolers or cooking stuff of any kind are allowed to be outside at night.
Bear problems are to high to allow anything else.
However, in the areas I've been to, other campsites that do allow soft sided trailers or tents haven't been so far away to not have that be an option. Just that your favorite, or the "best" campground may not be one you can use.
so I wouldn't eliminate a soft sided trailer, just be aware there are a few places you may not be allowed into.
