Yes and no. There are ugly campgrounds everywhere. There are, with the possible exception of Oklahoma, nice campgrounds, if you know where to look.

If our TM allowed us to spend 3 nights to two weeks in the boonies there would be a lot more of us staying in government owned camps. Most women require the pot a lot more than do men, we (like dogs) have trees.

Look at the poll on changes, black water tanks are a biggie!

Also please consider that lots of folks like people and people made things. Consider that the campgrounds at Disney World are almost always fully booked, months in advance.

I love camping by a river, under trees with lots of good places for walks, nature photo ops, etc. DW on the other hand prefers lots of cute shops, discount malls, crafts, classes and classes on crafts. Guess where we do most of our camping. We get a few dry camp nights just so I will continue to do most of the driving and setup/take down.

Another point is that there are a lot of us who are older, look at the jamberee photos. See any gray hair?
Older folks don't do the wilderness thing the way they use to back in the good ol' days. Don't forget that most of the parks you folks enjoy today were built by us older types, 50 plus years ago.

Enjoy, that's what they are there for! Our kids and grandkids.
