At that length you will have a lot of restrictions for sites. They’re out there, but you’ll have to research the campgrounds for size limits and make reservations to ensure you get a spot. The bigger the unit the fewer sites there are for the really big rigs and a smaller RV may take one of them. Or sometimes the sites big enough but the road in is too tight to maneuver. AZ advertises a 35’ limit for the state parks and I’m told some CA park limits are 20’. I’m guessing that’s probably beach sites.
I pull a small TT so it’s never been an issue to me. But I recall an incident in a campground in the Tetons where a big rigs front bumper projected slightly into the road and they asked him to leave and go to the commercial site up the road. With that big a rig I’m guessing you probably want HU’s and that in itself is a limiting factor. For example, there is only one cg each in Yellowstone and the Tetons that have HU’s.
Re: the AZ State campgrounds 35' limit; where did you get your information? I have yet to go to an AZ State campground that didn't have spaces 50 feet or longer for my 41' Voltage. And there were no issues maneuvering through the park. I have been checking various parks on the State website and found that most have no length restrictions. To categorically state that there is a 35' limit is spreading bad information.
My apologies to the OP, azdryheat is right. It's been a few years since I checked the state parks and I remember the advertised 35' limit. But a quick check now shows at least some are unlimited, so disregard my comment about the AZ parks.
Don't forget that not only campgrounds may be length-limited, but some ROADS are length-limited. The Mt. Lemmon Road comes immediately to mind, here in AZ. Have seen a few others when looking for places to camp.
