What Length Are They Really Referring To?
When I go on-line and look at individual campsites at either RV campgrounds or at State Parks etc., many will state something like ... "suitable for rigs, set-ups or RV's up to xx feet in length." ...

This article is almost misleading too.... It could also mean that if your toyhauler is 34 feet long your going to scrap trees on the inside corners of the access road with your trailer.....ask me how I know.
Basically everyone does it differently..... Oregon state parks are pretty good about it....they measure each spots blacktop length and have pictures on the reservation system of each spot so its easy to know what your getting into.
BLM and Forest Service ones are usually the great unknown....the sites might be 75 feet long pull throughs but the access road might be very tight with tight turns from the 40s.....
For our truck camper only camping I always just look for 30 foot spots gives some nice room for the stairs to land on pavement as some sites the parking area end in a tree or shrubs.
Bottom line is there is no consistent standard around the country.
