The thread on Fly-In Museums worked so well that I thought I would
pose this question to the group.....

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

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

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.

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.

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?

Most Montana airports allow camping on the field.
