Fly-In Camping.....

Followed the Alaska Highway back from Anchorage last summer. Camped in the
woods near the airplane at many airports across Canada. Even at the larger
airports, they don't seem to give it a second thought - although it may just
be a grassy area off to the side.

Here in the midwest, I can't think of an airport that I would just pull over
and set up camp. It just seems so natural farther north but not down in the
lower 48 (OK maybe just the middle 12).

I was astounded when I pulled into Fairbanks and the tower asked me if
I wanted to taxi to the "camping area". The camping area had a pullout
for each plane. Each site had its own picnic table and firepit. There
was a community pagoda, cut firewood and bicycle. Best camping
ammenities I have ever found at an airport.

I have found you can camp at most small airports. Especially the ones
where there are no "facilities". You can camp at my home base, Boulder
(1V5). But only for a day or two. Its tolerated but not encouraged. I
have also "camped" inside the FBO at numerous airports. Just put my
bag on the couch and spent the night.
