After reading the forums for a while now I see there are many RV folks who like to "get away from it all" in the woods, and distance themselves from the hustle and bustle of people and all the commoti...

I(we) enjoy different camping locals, COE/BLM areas Forest Service, Community, City, County, State and Federal Parks, we also enjoy the convenience of commercial campgrounds. Having been retired for almost 23 years, we have the advantage of selecting off season or shoulder season times to camp over the normally crowded seasons.
When we were traveling, both by car and motorhome with the DWs cousins, the cousins often said that my DW would talk to a fence post, our grandkids used to answer their Nana asking where I was would say, G Dude's out making friends. Now we for the most part travel solo, cousins don't have an RV and I don't fly and the DGKs just don't have time what with school and having a social life and we have found that it's nice to get away in a crowd and just relax.
We're always cordial and like talking with neighbors and passerby's but we also spend a lot more time in the solitude of the interior of the coach. We are both in our late 70's and the inability to climb and hike restricts us and our outdoor social life but we do like watching dogs and more frequently cats and children are most always fun to see and be with.
We noticed out in the dispersed areas that there is a herding instinct in humans and sometimes with over 18,000 acres in a place like Quartzsite, if you really park out by yourself, someone is going to pull up close enough to reach across from their rig to yours. Usually blocking the view you parked in order to see.
Just depends on why we pick a camping area and the time of the year to camp.
