Fly-In Camping.....

Yellowstone has a camp ground next to the airport that is nice. It is
only open in the summer for 3 months.

Or have a look at http://www.airnav.com/airport/KMPJ if you don't
want to worry about any bears. Nice campground on the field at the
south end of the runway overlooking the lake. Has running water,
electrics and a bathhouse there too.

Yes, yes. This is the one I was thinking of. Also many more in the Idaho
Wilderness. This is the one that has a nice small campground at one end of
the turf strip for plane camping, right? with a nice small river close by,
too. Very nice.

Adjacent to a state park. Path leads from airport to the lake at the
end of the runway.

There are five or six camping spots right off the tie down area. During
the summer there is running water and port-a-potties. About a mile walk to
town for supplies. The airport is on the estuary side of the beach, it's
about a 1/2 mile walk to the ocean frontage. The beach is in the lower
right hand corner of the picture, just below Nehalem Bay State Park.

Georgetown, CA airport, Q61.

I moved away from the area 10 years ago, but maybe Jim Weir can comment?

In California, we have Oceano (L52), where you pitch your tent within
spitting distance of your airplane, and can walk to the beach (not a
peaceful beach though, plenty of horse backriding, ATV's, etc). There
are a few grills, and two big fire pits for proper s'more preparation.

We went there last summer, it was great. Very reasonable fees.
