Trailer length restrictions
National and state park campsites has trailer/RV restrictions. Camp hosts also are at a loss whether it's just the cab length (say, 17') or end-to-end including the tip of the hitch (21'). Anyon...

If I'm in doubt I call and talk to a camp host to discuss. What I've found is that any of the following can restrict access.
I have found no consistency is length limit limitations or what limits the length.
1) road to narrow and to sharp of turns to navigate. The worst case, something I NEVER want to experience first hand, but have been through campgrounds in my truck that would have been really bad had the trailer been hooked up.
2) road to narrow to get backed in even though sites are plenty long enough. often coupled with older sites with back in sites at a 90 degree angle rather than a shallow angle. 90 degree back in angle, narrow site, narrow road= tough or impossible job to get backed in.
3) sites easy to get into but clearly to short.
I've been to places that said nothing over 24 ft and I regularly visit and have plenty of sites I can get my 32Ft trailer into.
