Fly-In Camping.....

Nobel County (I10), Caldwell, Ohio.
Adjacent to a state park. Path leads from airport to the lake at the
end of the runway.

Highland County (HOC), Hillsboro, Ohio.
Adjacent to Rocky Fork Lake State Park.

Nehalem Bay State Airport

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.

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

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.

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?

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