pose this question to the group.....

Can anyone offer some nice fly-in campsites... along with the features
and accessibility?

Lake Murray, just South of Ardmore, OK.
Airstrip(1F1,lighted), Lodge w/restaurant, nice pool, cabins,
camping, hiking, fishing, rental watercraft, horses, etc.
One of our favorite places to stay. Use phone at golf
pro shop at the airstrip to call the lodge for free
pickup. Some just pitch a tent right on the airfield,
and the pro shop does have some snacks and drinks.

If you are in this part of the country, then just south of this is Cedar
Mills on Lake Texoma, 3T0 (zero). 3000' E-W grass runway. They have
cottages or you can camp on the airport. One favorite spot is near the
tree on the east of the runway and near the lake. There is a resturant,
showers, etc on the property.

It would help if you provided a bit more info on what you are looking for:

Region?

Basic campsite or campground with full amenities?

Camp beside plane or willing to walk (and haul camping gear) a short ways?

Ability to use short/rough/high elevation airstrips?

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


Most Montana airports allow camping on the field.

Lake Barkley, KY is nice. The guy that lives on the field there will
always tell you the wrong way of the wind though. There's a lodge with
a sunday brunch and transportation to and from.

Lake Barkley also has a terrific state-owned-and-operated hotel.
