Yellowstone

I have a question for anyone who has stayed at Grant or Madison CG inside the park. I made reservations for 2020 back in May and they stated there is a max length for trailers, in the back in sites, of 30 ft with additional room for the tow vehicle. I had a Reflection MK273 on order and the brochure stated it is 29'11". It's close but I felt good.

After picking up the trailer I find that it's actually 30"6" overall. I hope this is going to work!

I'm wondering if the sites are actually 30' exactly or can you gain a little by letting the back of the trailer hang over the rear stops? The reservation folks only can state 30' and know nothing beyond that. any help appreciated.

You will be fine don't give it a second thought. We have always found there is more room than what they post them as.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I'm assuming they are being conservative in their requirements to prevent any disappointments. It looks as if you have a Reflection that's 32'5". Have you had it in Grant or Madison?

No we haven't been there but we have been to a lot of state parks. Haven't seen many sites you would not be able to get on.

Thank you for all the information. Looking forward to our September 2020 trip into the area and this was very helpful.
We hope to spend some time in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons... Thinking about starting our stay with a guided small
group tour to hit the major points of interest then do our day trips to unpack what we learn and like.
Wildlife, great views, Thermal sites in that order for us but all of them are of interest.

We saw this same type of event in the Smoky Mountains a few months ago. Two bear cubs and their mom were within sight of the road and two loud Harley's came by and rived up their engines to scare them away. It may be time now to ban loud motorcycles from national parks if the riders cannot appreciate and allow others to appreciate nature!!!!!
