The pedestal covered 4 sites. Had the pedestal been in the center of the 4 sites, it would have worked, but it was far from being centered.
This was at Tahquanemon Falls State Park in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. Most state parks have pedestals within 10 feet of the coach, but occasionally they are somewhat distant. Even then, some sites had pedestals a lot closer than this one.
I think perhaps the pedestals have been there awhile, and some of the sites have been re-arranged as the trees that grow taller and larger may block off access to the original campsite arrangement.
While the State Parks are relatively nice, they are mostly over 50~75 years old, so they typically have electricity, but there is no water or sewer hookups at each site. Water is usually available at many locations throughout the park, and there is a dump station on-site, but not at each location.
As well, there are not a lot of "big rig" friendly spots, although most campgrounds have a few. Remember though, these sites have been there for a long time... certainly long before there was such a thing as a big rig.
Still, $25 is the typical going rate for sites, so for that price, those inconveniences are minor.
