Some questions on National Park sites
My DW and I would like to start full-timing in the future. We expect to do lots of hiking during the day and some work during the evening/night. We MUCH prefer to camp in less open spaces that feature...

Remember, privacy is high up on our priority list. Do they let any of the above setup camp on sites that are designed for tent camping with decent privacy?
Not sure about you definition of "privacy." Privacy is not something you will find in any NP campgrounds especially during prime season. Some Parks are better than others. Picking spots on the apex of a loop can help. But you will always be within earshot and visually close to your fellow campers. But in our experience NP campgrounds are always better than commercial campgrounds whose motto is "we pack 'em in."
Tent site are tent sites in NP. You will not be allowed to put an RV on them. Tent sites are usually a parking space with a designated spot for the tent separated by some sort of barrier.
Many NPs are bordered by other Federally administered land such as National Forest or BLM. Designated campgrounds in these places will not be private during season. BLM dispersed camping areas would offer the best privacy.
Best suggestion is to plan your trips when school is in session.
