The calculator link pre-fills the driveway at the facility maximum. A facility maximum is the longest unit the campground accepts somewhere, not the length of every site; the site page on Recreation.gov carries the site's own figure where one exists.

What the limit means for your rig

Mather Campground publishes one figure, 30 ft, and the source wording is quoted under the diagram. Read it against the unit named in the wording, not against your combined length unless the wording says combined. Why a facility maximum and a site driveway are different numbers.

Use the calculator with the driveway set to 30 ft to see your rig drawn to scale against this limit. A "fits" there means your rig is inside the facility maximum with the margin; it does not mean a particular site is available or that every site is that long.

Hookups at Mather Campground

Official wording: "Mather Campground does NOT have hookups. No electric, sewer, or water hookups." There is no electricity, water or sewer at the site, so plan on battery, generator rules as stated above, and the dump station named in the spec sheet.
