Think twice, or a whole lot more times, about moving to Montana/Idaho/Wyoming/Washington to avoid the crowds. It can be very appealing in the summer. In the winter, you'll wonder why you moved. It's cold, it's dark, it's windy, it's snowy, and the locals don't much care for you being there.
Canada is closed to us because the US is stupid about the CoVid-19. I can't blame them one bit. I had trips planned to BC and the Yukon.
RV sales are up but where are those buyers going with their RVs?
What's changed about camping is simply this: there are more people doing it and more people abusing it.

Well said!
A friend went up to the local FS campground to scout around for huckleberries..Because of the budgets and Covid,there was no camp host in the FS campground..He came home the next day upset..People with loud dirt bikes running the campground at will and lot's of partying and drinking all day long..All from out of state,none from Idaho..
That is why I never use a FS or any other type campground,dispersed camping only is just like it used to be 50 years ago...
