- Travelers will have to abide by state law as you travel to a national park. But each national park has its own regulations on issues such as maximum towing speed and safety equipment that might differ greatly from state law.
- The average maximum trailer length accepted by the National Park Service is 27 feet, though some parks will accommodate trailers up to 40 feet.
- Depending on the park, campers with travel trailers must apply for a permit anywhere from one week to one hour before arriving at the park.
- With the exception of checking in and out of the national park, all travel trailers must stay parked in the designated campsite with the engine off.
- The use of any trailer equipment that produces a noise level of more than 60 decibels at 50 feet, such as certain electric generators and audio systems, is prohibited.
