Was excited to get back into RVing in the last year as both the wife & I had done a lot of RVing in past lives going back a # of yrs. One of the things we were looking forward to was getting to meet new people along the way. So far in a 1/2 dozen trips or so back into it, with the exception of 1 trip we've only seen what I would call 'shut-ins'.
Understand not everyone wants to chit-chat with strangers / some might prefer peace & quiet, but it's really been kind of a drag not running into neat / interesting people while camping.
Never thought one would have to join a club in order to have some social interaction out on the road but I'm beginning to wonder if that's just the way it is nowadays....
Years ago the rallies were very popular here, we had the chance to meet some of the most friendly/helpful folks. To this day we still meet a few times per year with some of those same members! I guess if you want see different areas and meet up with different Rvers look for the rallies on the smaller Rv forums. :C
It's always been hit or miss for us when it comes to the chit-chat, we don't look for it and we don't avoid it either. Had lots of conversations with fellow campers, rail trail bikers, kayakers, hikers especially when sharing common interests.
