How far away (or not) do you go?

With both of us working full time not finishing till 530 on a Friday, and occassionally having commitments at home on a weekend, we sometimes struggle to get away.  Recently we have taken to staying at local sites when this happens.  The first time we stayed only 7 miles from home but the last time that site was full so we ended up at a site even closer, despite the fact we have a garden at home.  However, we find we still enjoy it just as much as when staying in a field we could be anywhere and I don't find myself sitting thinking I should be doing the housework, cutting the grass etc.  Is this just because we are new to caravanning (only been doing it a year) or do other working people "go local" if they don't have time to get away properly.
