Some RV parks just seem to be highly social. Lots of potlucks and visiting and card playing, but mainly discussions about RVs and RV parts and maintenance. I have other things to do with my life.
Even less social and more transient camping areas seem to have their share of people who love to talk. Yes, they love to talk. They don't listen. They just want an audience. A great many people in this category seem to have had lives and stories that are not very interesting to anyone but themselves.
I find it rare to meet someone who is interesting and worth the time. Last trip I traveled for 4 months. I met a camping neighbor in Yellowstone. We were both lone travelers and spent a couple of evenings talking. He had had an interesting career and was considering an entirely new career choice. Apparently I was a good sounding board because two days later he had made up his mind, got in his vehicle and started his 3 day trip home to begin his new career. I find those sorts of situations to be very rare and not at all a reason that motivates my travel.
