You are 'right on'--it is happening.  The Brainard Lake campground
in the Indian Peaks W of Boulder was built in the early 60s.  Over
the last 3 years it has been rebuilt.  It is now 3x larger and most
of it will handle long rigs.  The Forest Service found that few
were tent camping and the demand from the big rig RVs was what
would pay the fees.

Paying the fees is important since this campground and the toll
booth the the area are operated by American Land & Leisure.  They
want to make $$$$ and the Forest Service wants them to (too) so they
will continue to operate the area.

I'm sure as other older campgrounds are renovated they will move in
this direction.
