Am I doing this wrong ?

I am new to class A camping. Done trailers, pop ups, backpacked etc. But this Class A stuff doesn't feel right. All the parks that i can get into feel crowded, are out in the middle of a field, or are filled with seasonal campers with all their toys. I cant seem to find any state or national parks i can fit into that have at least 30 amps and water. None of been very scenic or even make me feel like i am camping. Maybe i got caught up in the advertising with the beautiful vistas, along quiet lakes and rivers with woods and quiet and fresh air. Most of the time i feel like i am in a bad apartment complex. Any suggestions ?

Class A

Not sure where you camp? You might try to camp on BLM areas.
A lot quieter.

Class A's are generally made to "rough it smoothly". Full hookups at commercial camgrounds. Of course, they are fully capable of going to non-hookup places, but that's up to you.

Just my opinion

Your 337 is small enough to get into most public CGs but you need to learn how to not need hookups...those CGs are not like what you described.

I will bet that when you had your TT and you pop up you spent time outside of the unit. With your Class A are you finding it a little harder to get outside. I know I have to force myself to sit outside most times. But once I grab a chair sit under the awning its a great feeling.

You will just have to look around for some campgrounds that will fit your RV. There are parks out there that will make you feel comfortable.
