Fly-In Camping.....

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.

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.

http://www.airnav.com/airport/S77 if you don't mind bears.

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.

Is this one of the one-way strips in the wilderness area? I think I've been
there, years ago.

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.

Isn't that one private? On the north rim of

Both Death Valley airports (CA) have camping.

Stovepipe wells is a bit windswept and there is no shade, but
its only about 100 yds from the end of the strip. Good restaurant
nearby. Bring tiedowns. Only 3 'proper' tiedown spots, so bring
things to dig into dirt in case spots are full.

Furnace creek has more shade. Campground is about 1/2 mile
from strip. I've camped on the field, but you're not supposed to.
Another good restaurant & fancy hotel if you get bored with
camping. Plenty of space at airfield, probably enough for 50
planes & it's seldom full. Most people are day trippers. Bring
tiedowns to rope plane to wires set in the asphalt.

Spring is very pleasant, but watch for winds which can get
savage (hence comments about tiedowns).
