The shortest Montana you will find will be around 34'. That would be in the High Country line. Be careful if you buy a combo trailer and truck that the truck has an adequate towing capacity. Most classic Montanas require a 1 ton because of their weight. There are some in the High Country line that a 3/4 ton would be adequate for, but of course a 1 ton (RAM 3500, Ford F350, Chevy 3500) would be better.

The longer you get, the fewer campsites you will have to pick from. However, between National Park, US Forest Service and Corps of Engineers Parks, you can usually find something. Private campgrounds almost always have longer sites. In general, the older the campground, the shorter the sites. Also, the further West you go, the selection of longer sites is less. Good idea to always check when you make reservations or when you research the campground. There are lots of great campgrounds that will accommodate longer campers in your area. Most folks never have a problem, but sometimes the selection is more limited for longer sites. To directly answer your question - no, it's not typical for a NP campground to have shorter sites. It really just depends on the campground.

Good luck with your shopping, but I suggest you don't limit yourselves to a combination truck and trailer; you are drastically limiting your choices. Shop for them separately and get both that you like. There are a couple of nice looking Montanas advertised here in the "items for sale" heading (below - below the rally listings).
