National Forrest, Parks and State Parks

We are looking at 5 vr's now and find that most are 29ft and up. The 29 and 30's look good to us. The problem I am afraid of is not being able to get in the parks listed above in the subject.
I know that each park will have different limitations but what do most of you find out west here?

With proper planning you can get a big rig to a lot of National forests and state parks. We tow a 35 foot TT and have had no problems getting into parks that we visit here in WI. Going out West it seems to be more of a challenge but we still try to stay out of the private parks when visiting out there (and mostly do). I think if I lived out west I would be a little more comfortable pushing the envelope but don't want to risk it when we just have a few weeks. With two kids and as much as we go I like the space of a 35 foot TT but down the road I would like to shave about ten feet of the length which would open up a ton more sites to pick from.

The vast majority of NF and NP camp sites will fit a trailer up to about 22 feet. Some are still set up for tent camping and regular passenge vehicles only. Some will fit larger vehicles but there is a lot of demand for them. Most people with larger RVs stay outside of parks and commute from RV parks. That is the reality like it or not.

Boondocking is possible with some pretty large RVs if you are careful .
