Aircraft camping??
- Thread starter crabandy
- Start date
Petit Jean is great for camping. Camp site is just off the runway. Nice site. Electricity available. Decent bathroom, shower. There is a lodge not too far away as well where you can stay if you prefer not to rough it. I have only stayed there when we have had the annual group fly-in so I have never had to make individual arrangements. Runway in good shape. No fuel.
Gastons is a very nice place for the Sunday brunch. A little pricey at the restaurant but the Sunday brunch is worth it. Very pretty setting along the river. IMHO the cabins are not the best. Kind of old and musty.
Grass strip is usually in very good shape although you need to be careful about the approach. Great place if you are into fishing but boat rental is high and they nickel and dime you for the boat, seat, engine, etc. I have made a few day trips there just for the Sunday brunch. People there have always been very pleasant.
Hope this helps!

I was there last year and it was a lot of fun. I plan on camping there again this year. They said we could even pitch our tents inside the big hangar if it looks like rain. 
Can't get any better than that. Super nice bunch of folks. They have a grass runway between the paved runway and the taxiway too. The last time I spoke to someone there they said the main runway was back in good shape.
