I'd echo some of the earlier statements that the "RV Resorts" and "peace and quiet" are not mutually exclusive. Quite honestly, I've found that some of the high-end "RV Resorts" were more quiet than several state parks, particularly surrounding holidays.
My geographic experience was fairly limited to many states in the south (TX, OK, AR, LA, MS, AL, GA, FL, NC, SC, VA) and those that one might hit going between TX and CO (TX, NM, AZ, CO, UT), but I pulled a 39' 5th wheel (nose to back bumper actual measurement) and could always find a place to camp. Not always a rustic seashore or mountainside nature retreat, but always a place to park the trailer that was within easy drive of the activities I wanted to do: hiking & (for the DW) photography.
At the end of the day, we gave up the 5th wheel because: a) it was time to return to God's country (AK); and b) I was tired of shoehorning it into a storage space that only had 12" to spare. If I had a pull-through or 3' of extra width, I'd have that trailer today.
