Getting out into nature

MWP and I were discussing the question of  "what are our goals for this new trailer?".  Both of us agreed that our primary goal is to "get out into nature."  We're very fortunate in this part of the world to have multiple, beautiful, wilderness-like campgrounds within a short drive.  We're looking forward to having "retreats" away from the phone and internet.  To just hang out at the campsite reading a good book or hiking in the nearby trails.  Sitting by the campfire in the evening is fun too!  Our second goal is to travel to different parts of the US and Canada.  For instance, we want to spend time in New Mexico and enjoy its vibrant arts scene.  Or perhaps pull our little guy across Canada and see the Maritime provinces.  A third goal would be limited "snowbirding."  Perhaps spending a week or two in Palm Springs on our way to New Mexico or swinging by Texas on the way back from who-knows-where.  Hanging out by a pool for a few days would be nice, but we are leery of the big RV resorts.  Who wants to be cheek to jowl with 40 foot monsters parked on cement pads?.
So to sum up, our goals in order of priority are: Nature retreats, travel/sightseeing, snowbirding.  We're very lucky to have these experiences to look forward to!
