A lot of states seem to be going to reservation only for their state park campgrounds. That doesn't mean you need a reservation far in advance--often the same day is okay--but walk-in first-come, first-served camping seems to be going away in many places.
With a reservation, at least, in many places there's no need to talk to anyone more than the gate guard or a quick check-in with the office. You just drive in and plonk yourself down in your reserved site and that's that.
Quarantine requirements do not prevent you from driving through, nor generally from camping on your own. Rather, they are there to say you can't go out and interact with people not in your group--things like eating out, visiting museums, shopping, etc. Keeping to yourself in your own RV in your campsite is pretty much the definition of quarantining.
I just returned from a ten-day trip down to Florida and back to bring my dear mother back to her home after a visit for the holidays. We had no difficulties finding places to stay (with reservations), though some flexibility was required especially in Florida where the state parks were predictably nearly filled up with campers. Having the motorhome to make the trip is a good part of what made a wonderful visit over the holidays practicable.
