Every time I try to export this as a png file it ends up pixelated and it's making me crazy.

Here it is in Illustrator

Here it is exported.

I have the resolution set to 300.  What is happening??

A PNG is a pixel format, so some pixels should be expected.

You will need to turn on antialiasing.

How far are you zoomed in in Illustrator?

Check View > Pixel Preview to get a better idea of the resulting export.

What are you doing? Exporting artwork? Or something else? Are there pixel images in your artwork and what is the problem you expect to solve? Just asking because this thread is 5 years old. And also because the answer depends on it.
