I always said, there is no right or wrong way to go RVing (or camping). It's just "different" for each one of us.
When we were younger and the kids were still little, we did all the running stuff, everything from amusement parks to hikes in forests so deep if you stepped 10 foot off the trail they'd have to call a rescue party for you.
Been to the beaches, the mountains, the prairies, and the cities. Been to the tourist areas as well as some pretty isolated places.
Our house is located in the country. This year we had a bean field for a back yard and a corn field for a front yard. Tractors, plows, fertilizers, and combines are the indicators of the changing seasons. Snowed in back country roads in the winter, power outages in the Spring when the Spring rains and wind blows so hard you wonder how things stay standing, or the RV in your driveway doesn't blow over!
So, now that we're older, the kids have kids of their own and only very rarely go camping with us, and because we've pretty much, "been there, done that! and did the go, go, go camping lifestyle, back to nature, swimming, hiking, you name it, keep up with the Jones, gotta do everything to educate the kids and expose them to what true nature is really all about (yea, sure)....
Well, the time has come if I want to just sit around a simple campfire at a State Park so I have someone to converse with, instead of cows, pigs, and ears of corn, I think that's pretty much OK for me now!
And if I decide to go inside my camper and enjoy the $77,000 investment by watching television, well, I think that's OK too.
I've lived in "nature" pretty much all my life. Sometimes it nice to get away from "nature!"
