Camping Directory

[N363RV]

Amanda and I are going to start flying places for overnights in our little tent. As much as I enjoy trolling thru all the different posts, sometimes I just want a way to quickly lookup locations that you can fly and camp. So I am starting this directory in hopes that others will add to this directory. Please use the following format to keep this information consistent. It will also promote the possibility of a volunteer to stuff this information into a database at some point in the future as well. The following is just meant to get us started. I will try to add to the list in the future as I find time. I hope the list grows and it is useful to RV flyers all over the world... but will be happy with destinations here in the U.S.

Amanda and I haven't been camping yet... Texas heat got here too fast. How about the rest of US/Canada? Anybody gone camping with their plane recently?

Orcas Eastsound, shower on airport and a mile walk to town for food etc.

If you're heading West, then there's Columbia and Kern Valley
And Trinity Center has a shuttle or a 30 minute walk to the camp ground.

Idaho has plenty, notably Johnson Creek and Smiley Creek with good facilities.

I keep thinking of more: Shelter Cove is right next to the airport.

Death Valley has Campgrounds next to Furnace Creek and Stovepipe Wells airports.

This information could be really useful if it was in a format like the "RV Hotel" listing on the sidebar of the VAF home page. (Hint!)

Payson, AZ (KPAN) has camping spots right on the taxiway!
