I enjoy engaging with other campers and have spent some of our most enjoyable times getting to know new friends around the campfire.

Me too. I recall meeting a fisherman in a coastal campground, we spent an hour talking about his boat and catch. More than I would have expected, I find fellow campers approachable and enthusiastic about being neighbors in the campground. I am not a hermit. I just like the occasional opportunity for total peace and quiet.
