2024 Ultimate Guide To National Parks RV Length (Huge Time Saver!)

What is the Best Length For An RV In The National Parks?

If you are planning a national park vacation, it’s important to know if your RV is allowed in the parks. Each National Park will have RV length limits depending on the configuration of their campsites and most parks were developed before the more modern RV lengths came along. 

The average size of RV sites is 27 feet nationwide. Therefore the optimal length for an RV in the National Parks is 25 to 30 feet.  Most National Park campgrounds will have spaces that will fit this length. Sites vary park by park and campground by campground, so always check directly with the park office prior to booking a site. 

If you are planning a national park vacation, it’s important to know if your RV is allowed in the parks. 

The rules for length restrictions on RVs vary widely by location and can be confusing if you aren’t familiar with them. This is especially true when considering that many of the most popular National Parks have unique regulations about how long your RV can be. Some parks allow any size motorhome, while others only permit small trailers or even motorcycles! 

We put together this list of information to help make sense of these different lengths limitations so that you don’t waste time trying to find out what’s possible for your trip! You don’t want to show up for your site with a rig that is too long to fit, and it is considered poor campground etiquette. 

Below are the stated National Park RV length restrictions for every National Park that allows RV camping. Please use it as an idea and then do some extra research (preferably on the phone) to get situated.

We have endeavored to clarify as much confusing information as possible by direct contact. (One park stated 30 ft restrictions on travel trailers and 21ft restriction on 5th wheels!) We have also included prices, and basic services for each of the National Parks RV campgrounds. 

If this is your first tour of the National Parks, I would highly recommend this book.  It will tell you what to look for at each National Park (we still recommend you do your own research), but this will help you with planning your trip.  

“The national park idea has been nurtured by each succeeding generation of Americans. Today, across our land, the National Park System represents America at its best. Each park contributes to a deeper understanding of the history of the United States and our way of life; of the natural processes which have given form to our land, and to the enrichment of the environment in which we live.”

Older National Park Campgrounds May Be Too Small

America loves it’s National Parks. KOA research shows that 40% of all RV Campers stay in National or State Parks.(1) But as RV’s get larger, fitting them into 1950’s and 60″s era campgrounds is becoming more and more difficult with National Park RV size maximums. Many people (including us) would love to stay within the National Parks but simply cannot fit into the sites with a large RV.

If you are camping in a smaller teardrop or pop up camper, you probably do not have much to worry about, but with the increasing size of most travel trailers and fifth wheels, some care must be taken when planning a site. 

Most National Parks that have RV campgrounds do not offer any kind of hookups. So it is dry-camping only. There may be some types of amenities, like a dump station, vault toilets, etc, but sites do not have hookups in most cases. National Park RV camping accommodations as a general rule are a bit sparse.

You have to remember that the whole idea of our National Parks is to celebrate our natural spaces, so clearing and digging up large sites within those natural areas to allow for sewer hookup’s and 50 amp electrical service, or even to cut through roads to accommodate 40+ foot long motorhomes, causes a great deal of heartburn. 

That being said, many parks are making upgrades where possible to accommodate longer RV size limits as well as the demand for hookups. 

Which National Parks will  work for your rig? We have done the legwork for you and compiled a list of every National Park campground that allows RV camping, and the information necessary for you to make your decision. 

If you don’t have an Annual Pass for the National Parks, I highly recommend you pay one annual fee, which will get you into all of the USA National Parks.

Campground RV Size Restrictions

Every National Park has RV length restrictions. There does not seem to be any consensus anywhere, nor an authoritative resource to tell us how sites are measured. Typically the length restriction will be for camper AND tow vehicle, so the allowable length for a trailer will be shorter than for a motorhome by about 10 feet. 

Our best advice is to take a look at the list below and use it as a guideline, but not as a bible. Nor should you use ANY online resource as authoritative. We strongly recommend that you do the following:  

Call The Park: We have found that at the end of the day, no matter where you are trying to camp,  you ALWAYS do better by speaking to someone right there at the park. You will get first hand information that will often times contradict what you read or hear online. For instance if you are just staying overnight and do not wish to unhook, make sure you can get a site long enough for the whole shebang. 

When we were staying out at Yellowstone last year, we stayed outside the park, at Henry’s Lake State Park (AWESOME park.) During our 2 month visit, we stopped around to see several of the Yellowstone campgrounds. Keep in mind that this was mid summer, when anyone would tell you it is next to impossible to get a site within the park.

While visiting the Mammoth Springs area, we noticed that the campground there had quite a few empty spaces. We stopped to speak to the ranger at the gatehouse, and she told us that they had been experiencing quite a bit of vacancy over the last couple of weeks. They usually got several walk-ins during the days, but each morning many left. 

We also noticed that, even though the park has a maximum RV length of 30 feet, there were a large number of sites that would, and WERE holding RV’s much longer than that. The ranger told us that the restriction was there, but they often put larger rigs into the park without a problem.

Another story: When we visited South Dakota, we stayed at a Angostura State Recreation Area, a huge, beautiful facility on the Angostura Reservoir. The campground offers electric only sites at VERY affordable prices. When I called them on the phone to get some information, I got some surprising news. 

The ranger who I spoke to told me that they did in fact have a few full service sites that were used by the on site camp hosts. Since it was late in the season, some of the hosts had been released and left. So there was a fully paved ADA site with full services and a built in stone fire-pit available if we wanted it. (We wanted it) I think we paid about $25 per night for the site. All because of a phone call. 

The point is this: call the park. ALWAYS. Get first hand information from someone on the ground, who does this every day. You never know what will happen.

You can get most of the information you need for visiting National Parks online or at the park.  If you want all of the information you need in one spot, I highly recommend this book. The pictures are beautiful, and you get a good idea of what there is to do and see!

Let’s take a look at the travel trailer restrictions in National Parks and the RV length restrictions by state.

Gifts For National Park Lovers

Looking to visit all the National Parks within the US? Well, this National Parks Bucket List art is just what you need to track your park road trips!

Each National Park has a camera icon next to the parks name. As you visit these picture-perfect parks, use the included push pins to pin your list within the circle of the camera lens to show you have “captured” that park. Makes a fun way to track and show off your National Park Adventures

I absolutely love these and will be getting one (or two) as soon as I have a wall large enough to fit them on.  The best part is you can get them personalized.  What a gift for all nature loving peeps!

How Do I Measure My Rig for Campgrounds

All of this being said, you still need to find some earmarks to use in selecting sites for your rig. Some people say that they “add a few feet” to the stated rig length so that they always have extra room in their campsite. If you have a smaller rig, feel free. For us with a 38ft rig, I would never do this. It is hard enough to find sites in some parks to fit us so I wouldn’t want to eliminate a 39ft site because I said my rig was 40ft. 

Our recommendation is this: go with the stated length of your rig, which is usually written in the model number of your rig. Then talk to someone in person so you can discuss slides, width, etc. You will almost never go wrong.
