27 Foot Good for State and National Park?
Hi, Have folks found that a 26 or 27 foot 5ver is generally well accommodated at the state and national park campgrounds? Thanks, Bill

There are exceptions to every rule. Occasionally you may run into a CG tucked into a tight space, where your TT will be too long. But not often.
One place that comes to mind, above Ouray CO: Amphitheater USFS CG
That's true for commercial campgrounds but I assure you there are many Federal and State CG which won't take bigger RVs.
Thanks for writing. What length are you referring to as "bigger" RV?
Thanks,

In many cases bigger than 35 ft. Altho there are many sites limited to less than 30 ft. Yosemite for example only has a few sites in one valley CG that will take a 35 ft RV. Chiricahua NM only accepts short less than 29 ft RV's. I searched the nearby NF CG (near Chiricahua) and they had even shorter limits. Every park is different and there is no hard and fast length rule except that the longer your RV the more problems you will see in government CG.
You need to understand many of the Federal CG were first built in the 1930's thru the 50's. 40 ft long RVs were unknown. Campers looked more like this:
True, and the NP Campgrounds on the Blue Ridge Parkway were built for tents.
