Nevada Beach (Forest Service) publishes a 45 ft maximum vehicle length. Most others here have no agency-wide limit, so we use Recreation.gov's site list: book a site whose own listed length fits your rig. [USDA Forest Service][Recreation.gov]
The West Shore state parks are far shorter: Emerald Bay, D.L. Bliss and Tahoe SRA take campers/motorhomes to 18 ft and trailers to 15 ft; Sugar Pine Point 32 ft and 26 ft; Donner Memorial 28 ft and 24 ft. [California State Parks][California State Parks][California State Parks][California State Parks][California State Parks]
California's basic legal length for a single vehicle is 40 ft; a 45 ft motorhome is allowed only on approved routes (Vehicle Code § 35400). [Caltrans]
