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.

Idaho Wilderness Area. East of McCall. Great!

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.

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 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.
