Somehow, someway, keeping the riffraff (i.e. The types that dump their GW and BW tanks on the ground, the types that drive ATVs/motorcycles indiscriminately too fast and too loud all over the place, etc..) off our public lands is "the answer".
IMHO, expensive annual access permits - with steep fines for not having one - would work. We'd budget carefully to pay for one each year if it meant we could have careful and thoughtful RV access to wild, scenic, remote, and unmessed-up public lands.
A case in point - just recently on our Quartzite trip we stayed in some (now pricey) Arizona and California non-hookup state parks that were remote feeling, quiet, beautiful, uncrowded, and "riffraff free". Nice ... but priced above what state compgrounds used to be. They were well worth it, IMHO.
