Length Restrictions
Length Restrictions are rules that control how long vehicles or equipment can be at a campground. These rules help manage space effectively and ensure safety in camping areas. Campgrounds use these restrictions to specify maximum lengths for RVs, trailers, boats, or combined vehicle setups. This helps ensure that vehicles can safely navigate the roads, fit into designated spots, and maintain the campground's layout design. It's similar to how parking garages have height limits - campgrounds need to make sure vehicles can properly fit and maneuver within their spaces.
