We currently own a 33' TT, but we are considering a 44' Toy Hauler and would plan to use the garage as a 2nd bedroom for our 3 kids. We'd like to start staying in more state and national parks and...

On top of that, even if they did initially assign you a site that was over 40', they often move reservations from site to site to maximize the efficiency of the reservations due to differing arrival dates and length of stays. On another note many parks (including some in Yellowstone and many private parks including mine) do not allow tents in RV sites. So that isn't a universal cure-all.
You can get a 44' site in Yellowstone. But you must call and tell them the actual length of the RV and vehicle to reserve one of the few spots than can accommodate over 40'. Yes if you reserve for a 33' and show up with 44' you may get turned away because you will not fit.
Honestly I recommend NOT getting the larger trailer if you expect to fit in these old campgrounds. Get the kids a tent.
It isn't that difficult to find spaces for a 44'. The upsides are much greater than any downsides for most of the owners of the Larger RVs.
