I'd be happy with a campground that is "tall camper" friendly (ie no low hanging trees or power lines) but spaces far apart. No hookups needed for us, but electric is nice. Here in CO it's nearly impossible to get a spot for a weekend in the summer unless you book it 6 months in advance, or test your luck and leave on a Thursday morning to get a boondocking spot. We lucked out to get 1 spot at a resort in the mountains in July. Resort has all the amenities, but the spot we got is pretty private. No hookups, no nearby neighbors, great view (based on photos, we'll see!). $35/night. We'll gladly pay it to have somewhere to go that doesn't require us to take the entire day off on Friday to get there. So if more parks could open like that, we'd be happy campers. But I realize we're probably in the minority.
