We have found in our state and national park visits that larger campsites are hard to cone by.
We have a 26' travel trailer and often we are limited to less than a half dozen sites in a 50 site camp ground.
I think that National parks have the least big sites.
Sometimes it is not the length of the parking pad but the narrow access road makes it nearly impossible to maneuver into the spot.
We had a beautiful site in a park inside Mt. Rainer NP but it was on a corner and we had to back uphill to get into it. It took my wife and I and two other campers to guide it into the spot. It was marked for up to 29' but boy it was hard to get into.
When we bought our trailer we thought it was small enough to go anywhere but sometimes we wish we had gone to a 24.
We loved camping at Jedidiah Smith in the Redwoods when we had a van camper. But the sites are limited to 24 feet and we won't fit.
My advice make an itinerary then look at your options for site size all along the route of your trip, maybe that will give you some help.
This is exactly the kind I of info I am looking for. Thank you!
Some things all sound good on paper but when you get out there ... you find some things you wish you’d known ahead of time.
I am beginning to work on itinerary but DH is ready to upgrade now hoping to enjoy it some this year locally as well. I am more willing to wait. I also am very curious if the hot buying market will continue this year or if things will turn and newer used campers will come in making them a better buy. Hmmmm...
