I recommend state parks; that’s what we do almost exclusively, and I build my trips around them. The cleanliness, the scenery, and the presence of trained, uniformed staff to help create a safe, quiet and family-friendly environment is essential, and state parks do better with that than most other places (especially for the money—whole lot of bang for your camping buck!).
I’m sure there are exceptions, so always read reviews prior and do the research.
Final thought: I find campground camping anywhere far better during the weekdays, rather than the weekend, if possible: much quieter and more relaxing.

Our 86 does the same thing. Has from when we bought it. after 2 weeks forget it starting. I got a Knife Switch that fastens to the battery post and I have left it for 4-5 months and engaged the switch and it starts right off.

Consider buying a $20 battery disconnect switch and installing it on your battery. With a 35 year old vehicle, you can easily have something cause a drain, and when your battery is so low it won't start the truck, it is getting damaged each time that happens. Badly, actually. With batteries now $150++, getting a $50 jump pack and continuing to let your expensive battery get damaged is not a good solution. With a battery disconnect, when you park it, you simply disconnect the battery from everything and it should then easily start your truck in several weeks when you return. I have collector cars and they have these switches. It's also a passive anti theft, and there are disconnects that have a key lock on them if your truck is in an area thefts occur.
