Flyertalk tends to skew towards urban destinations (e.g., reviews about hotels are mostly about full-service ones), but lots of Flyertalkers also do outdoorsy travel.

I like to do hiking, camping, etc. trips once or twice a year. Add in another one or two National Park type trips where we might stay in a B&B or cabin and do a series of short hikes.

I've learned over the years to completely leave hotel points/status behind on most of these kinds of trips. If we're taking the time to go to the Oregon coast for 3 days in parks and on beaches, we book a B&B with some charm - not stay in the Hampton Inn just because we're Diamond. If we're going to a National Park that has a lodge, we stay in the park - not at the Fairfield Inn 30 minutes outside the park just to earn points.
