40" "GOTCHA!" says buchphi......
Seriously, my CASUAL observations....the further you are from a major metropolitan area, the more you're going to get "real" big rig friendly campgrounds. The same with "snowbird" destinations.
"Resorts" almost always charge more even tho you don't use some/many of their facilities. Things like exercise rooms, etc., etc.. Other "resorts" like the "ENCORE" chain charge 3 bucks a day for any and everything....never could figure out why. But even tho they happily take overnighters, they all seem to be "destination" parks.
Campgrounds is campgrounds. Many of the older ones were never built to accomodate the large RVs we have today. Sometimes a struggle with even a 30 footer.
While "on the road", (cross country) I find that most cgs that are "easy-on/easy-off" are mostly pull thrus. That's their market. Overnight, full hookups no disconnecting the toads.
And the ads for the places? Sometimes you can't judge a book by its' cover. Sometimes you have to make the best of it. Other times, where you find one cg, another is right nearby. Just find the exit and go.
"Google Earth" to find a campground? Really? But whatever floats your boat.I use Trailer Life Directory and look at RVparkreviews.com....plus being a member of KOA, they have their directory too.
You have a 40 footer. Pulling a toad? That's 50 feet or more. Sometimes YOU have to bend a bit. Enjoy your travels.
