We can't give a complete answer, but can give some of one-
Most campgrounds are busy on weekends in their IN season, but during the week they're pretty quiet.
We just returned from Sycamore Lodge in Jaskson Springs NC which is a "resort" associated with Coast to Coast. There were 15 rigs in a 150+ space campground this weekend. That included the workcampers!
Sidenote- we tasted the koolaid but didn't swallow all of it- (Sales Pitch to buy into the place) It is a nice park though.
The flipside is we have been to another local park, which is Flanners Beach in the Croatan National Forest, during the summer when alot of colorful locals were enjoying themselves. We had loads of entertainment right outside the door. But Sunday at 5pm, the place was about empty and quiet until Thursday then started over again on Friday.

Cindy T is right on the mark. Although we never had reservations to staying in a campground as we have been doing this for 12 plus years as recreational, we know every campground at any time of the year can change depending on the local attractions. The only issue we have right now is that there are limited true 4 season winter water camps in the northeast for us to stay at during the off season winter months so we deal with what is offered but we also know as Cindy pointed out that we can up and move when and if we want during the normal season.

Sue has taken a workamper position at Blackbear Campground in Florida, NY this spring/ summer so we will be relocating in about a month and will stay there (they have full winter water) until I retire from my full time employment in a couple of years (GOD willing and the creek don't rise).

Remember...you will not longer have the ball and chain (house) to worry about so you can move when you want to!

Good Luck,

Les

I was also worried about that before we went FT.  Now that we've been FT for over a year, I've gotten used to campground living.  I've found that it can be noisy if there are a lot of kids around,  but they're not there all the time.  Our rig has double pane windows & is well insulated so it's much quieter inside that I expected.

Also, your house has wheels, so if you don't like where you are, you can move someplace else!  

Thanks everyone! I've researched a lot of campgrounds and I'm beginning to understand that there are a lot of options. I'm just a very "noise sesitive" person and I find it difficult to relax in chaos. I think we'll be able to find our personal "heaven" if we just look hard enough though! Much gradtitude! : )

As full timers we aren't campers and don't stay often in that sort of RV park. We usually stay in parks that cater to snowbirds and most are 55 plus parks.
As a result we don't see many kids. If we do get noisy neighbors we find another park.

Right now we are in a RV park in Bouse AZ and there are no kids at all here. There were a couple back in December visiting grandparents but they weren't noisy. Everyone here are either snowbirds or full timers and probably have an average age of at least 65. They don't tend to be noisy.

The park has a lot of quads and the folks love to go out in the desert. We may hear them when they leave and come back but they are not riding around in the park much at all.

There is a lot of visiting and get togethers and if a bunch of folks are sitting outside in the next door site you can hear the people talking. If we have the windows open and want to listen to the TV, we put on our wireless headphones, or we just go over an join them.

When we started full timing we had lived for 18 years in a small town in NH where the smallest lot allowed was 3 acres. It was a heavily wooded area and we couldn't see the neighbors on the sides or the back. We did have a little adjustment period because of having people close by but we got used to it.
