Seems as though living there would be close to our camping\RV experience without the need for an RV.
I'm kind of thinking we wouldn't RV nearly as much if we liked being home and had plenty to do on acreage.
I thought the same thing when we bought our farm property. I even went so far as to clear a spot out on the back 40 and made the the perfect RV campsite. Secluded, lots of beautiful large trees, level, big fire ring, nice picnic table, power, water. Figured I didn't need to,'go camping' ever again.
That was about three years ago, and our trailer is still set-up out there. We don't use it near as much as we figured we would, and really miss going camping to other campgrounds in different parts of the state - ocean, mountains, etc.
While it's a nice campsite and all, it's just not far away enough from home to be 'real' camping, and it's too easy to get pulled into various projects that are ongoing around the farm. It's not far away enough to get away from the farm for a break. Also still need to come in to the barn to tend to the animals and such when we are 'camped out there.
We have lined up somebody to tend to the animals and do the necessary chores while we are away, and we plan on actually going camping a number of times next year. I dearly miss it.
