Camp site type selection In software

CxMain · June 4

When making reservations, do campgrounds agree with my logic that the closest vehicle type to my Wrangler/TAG is the “Pop up Tent Trailer” option?

Or do they want me to select “Trailers” and then my search doesn’t include spots that I really could be in with the pop ups. I only need electricity, water, and a smaller 20’ lot. Choosing trailer often filters out the spots under 30’.

I think most of the reservation sites are more concerned with the rig length and if you would fit (and if you might need hookups). They might break the types up into different bins or lump them. You would not be wrong to choose tent trailer as it's probably the same length or longer than the T@G. My rig is 29 feet with the tow vehicle and T@G. I just make sure the site has at least 30' pad length since I prefer not to unhook unless I need to. Sounds like with a 20' pad your plan is to unhook and park beside the trailer.

I guess it depends... I know of a campground that allows pop-ups (and truck-backs), but no hard sided trailers, regardless of size. It's a peculiar restriction, and I don't know the logic behind it.

I makes more sense to just list sites by the length of equipment they will accomodate.

I always pick 2 tents.

I guess it depends on how tent sites are defined. In some cases, they are not accessible in a way that would allow parking a camper.

If in doubt, call the campground. I recently scored a great site. It was listed as a tent site because it had no hookups, but the guy I spoke with confirmed it suitable for my trailer provided I could do a little maneuvering to get it in.

It was a much nicer site than any of the RV sites, and quite a bit less expensive!
