If you look on the Good Sam trip planer, and select 4 or 5 stars you will find plenty of nice camp grounds that will fit a 40ft or longer 5er.
If you book many camp grounds in middle of June during the week you will have pretty good luck. Being we belong to a Good Sam Camping group that camps during the week and never on the weeks ends. Looking at the camp grounds we go to all over Washington an in Oregon I see lots of open spaces all summer ....I remember one camp ground near the ocean that had 100 spaces with a number of full hookups,
I say 30 of them were not filled all week while we were there...
However the are a few Sate camp grounds even thought they have full hookups may not except 5ers over say 35ft or longer, when calling the Washington State parks they will ask you how large/long your vehicle is....
One state park we stayed in along hood river our 33ft 5th wheel was a tight fit, the site was real close to the next side. The site's were so close that our picnic table was next to the sewer inlet of the next camp site, our power pole and water was just as close but about 6 or 7ft away from the sewer... thus we didn't eat outside on our picnic table ....,
On the other hand we were at a really nice Good Sam camp grounds south of Sea Side Oregon that had paved parking spots, new power and water hook ups, sewer drains some way away from the water and electric and really big sites with nice shade trees.
