Yellowstone campground lengths?

Curious if anyone has any practical experience with the 20/30/40 ft lengths listed for campground sites within Yellowstone NP. I've got a Chevy crew cab dually with a AF990 so it's about 23 ft overall. Didn't know if I can get into a 20 ft site or not. I can call Xanterra as well, but if previous experience is any indication, I'll get someone who doesn't quite understand what a truck camper is and won't provide any useful information.

Thanks!
  • You’ll have to book a 30 or 40, but don’t be surprised if they give you a space that you barely fit in. Be sure you give an accurate length and give yourself enough length. I’m not saying pad, but make sure you include your full length. If you have slideouts, mention it. If you go early, bring a shovel for snow. They do the best they can, but they focus on opening, not making every space perfect.
  • When I have called Xanterra for a site, I just give the clerk my length and have always gotten a site that I fit in.
