Vehicle length in National Park Campgrounds

Can anyone tell me how national park campgrounds calculate the length of vehicles allowed in particular site?

My Trailer: 35' from the pin to the end of the trailer
My Truck: 20'
Approximate total length of both minus the 5th wheel overhang: 49 feet

When they say max vehicle length do they mean total truck and trailer or just the RV?

Thank You!

There is absolutely NO standard length in National Parks. Each individual campground will/may have it's own limitations which are based on the conditions in the campground and how easily THEY believe it can be navigated plus the obvious limitation imposed by the actual length of drive ways at individual sites. Go to Recreation.gov and look at the PARTICULAR site you're interested in and it should give you any maximums that apply to that site.

When I read the particular site details, most of the time they will mention the length of the site. If they would mention length and width, this whole issue would go away. The description should let us know whether we can fit lengthwise or if we can fit side to side disconnected. Sure sounds like a simple process to me. Don't just tell us what length trailer would fit.

Forest Service Ranger told me "any single vehicle" I take that to mean you will be OK for 35 feet or under.
