Maybe you bought an RV (like Richard Kerr, TPG's loyalty and engagement editor) or rented one to stay somewhere like Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground.

My larger concern was this: How much fun is a vacation where we don't go on a guided tour, take a cooking class with a local chef, visit a museum, eat at a restaurant, nurse an after-dinner drink at a local bar or head to a venue to listen to live music? All of those things usually require spending extended time indoors - sometimes maskless - with lots of people, and I do draw the line there. (I prefer an N95 or P100 respirator-style face covering mine are vented so I also wear a surgical mask over it to ensure the safety of those around me in addition to myself.)

My fear wasn't so much about catching the disease since I'm confident wearing a mask, being mindful of social distancing and sanitizing high-touch surfaces will keep me safe. I admit it: I've been reluctant to travel since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
