Default Fly in camping anywhere on the way to Oshkosh from the west??

I thought I'd call upon the vast knowledge and experience of all of you to inquire if anyone knew of good places to stop, that allow camping, on our way to Oshkosh this year from Reno, NV. We figure we'll stop somewhere around Rock Springs WY and then want to spend a night somwhere near Mt. Rushmore. Camping would be great if anyone knows of a good place. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Default Custer, SD

My vote would be Custer County Aiport (KCUT), located just S. of the town of Custer. I don't know if camping is allowed on the field, but there are numerous motels and campgrounds in the area. It's an easy rental car drive from Custer to all of the attractions (Crazy Horse Monument, Mt Rushmore, Hill City, etc.) and camping, hiking, fishing, etc. are close by at Custer State Park.

NOTE: Custer State Park has it's own airport (really just an airstrip), but camping is only permitted in the campgrounds.

See http://www.airnav.com/airport/KCUT

As with any mountain flying, density altitude and crosswinds can be an issue, so plan a good alternate-have fun,

Mike
