Give me 3 or 4 tenters instead of one big rig any time. As far as "driving around," I rarely see people just "driving around" in a campground. They enter; they leave. A car doing that is minimally disruptive. A 40-foot rig chugging along and then the subsequent ceremony while the wifey screams directions to the driver as he's trying to back in, on the other hand...
But the primary reason I want more tent and small RV spaces is that it allows people of modest means the ability to camp. You own a behemoth, you CAN camp anywhere. And yes, four tent sites allow 8-12 people to camp rather than a single old couple in a behemoth in the same space. So telling the behemoths to stay in a slab park outside the park boundaries allows more people to enjoy the park.
