Campsite Size

GrandmasKid · May 2016

I've used the search window to no avail and I really need some help. Also I've e-mailed the NPS but they haven't answered yet and I need to know sooner rather than later. Here is what I sent to NPS-

My little hard sided trailer camper is 15'2" long. My tow vehicle (TV) is 15"8" long. When searching for a site, should I enter just the trailer length, or the length of the TV and trailer hooked together? If the site accepts two vehicles will I be able to park my TV to one side of the trailer? I'm brand new to RV trailer camping and don't want to make a bad mistake. Thanks for any help you can give.

We report just the trailer length, not the TV.

Ya, that's been my experience also - trailer size.

Ditto! I just got a verification of that fact for a reservation I have in August!

We always count the trailer and TV as one unit.

You always go by just the trailer length, the TV can be moved to overflow parking if needed.

Trailer length of 15' because the tow vehicle is detachable and not permanent.

Finally saw how to get to talk with a ranger at Yosemite NP and I got her to say twice that It's just the length of the trailer that should be reported when using the reservation system. In my case my TV is slightly longer than my soon to be delivered T@B MaxS Outback. I hope it all works out. I confess that I'm a little worried about this big out west trip we are planning. Well, there are worse problems we could have. Thanks to everyone who contributed. If we run into problems with this issue I'll report it here.

Doubt you'll run into any problems with length - You can get a T@B into dang near any site I've seen - Even sites designated as tent sites unless there's some kind of obstruction/plaform.
