The question becomes how full places like that will be with others being closed still.

As for Slava's question of tent trailer vs. travel trailer; if storage and towing capacities are not issues, the only "advantage" of a tent trailer is occasionally there are nice campsites that are smaller. For example at Waterton Springs there are some nice treed sites that can only be accessed with smaller trailers.

That being said, I have a small 16 foot class travel trailer (so actual length is 19 feet.) I have been able to use some of the smaller sites. My trailer also only has a single axle. Having pulled my buddy's bigger trailer I don't see that much of a difference as far as turning or handling is concerned.
