Cavanaugh Bay is about 7 hours from Boulder in our C182G, and worth every hour to get there. This is as good as airplane camping gets. The arrival into Cavanaugh Bay is easy -- over the marina and onto the well manicured grass -taxi to parking and campsite. Allan, the caretaker, is terrific. He gave us his cell phone number and field condition reports days out and the day of departure. Hot showers and bathroom about 50 yards from your tent. A courtesy care is available for excursions around the lake or into Coolin, where we recommend Ardy's restaurant for lunch. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, steps from the threshold of rwy 33 is the Cavanaugh Bay Marina.

We camped here from August 19th to the 23rd. Great place. Allen tends to everything and is a gracious host. We met a pilot who was here twenty-seven years ago and he commented that the runway was wide-open back then, but is now getting narrowed down by tall trees on each side. He also commented that trees are starting to become a problem on the north end approach. Allen mentioned that he agreed and hoped to do some trimming in the next year or two. One member of our party was flying a Beechcraft E18S. He commented that a bit more width would be nice, but was very happy with the operation for his airplane. I did pace off what appeared to me to be the narrowest point between tall trees and it was just less than one hundred feet. Too tight for a DC-3! All in all a wonderful place. Idaho is to be congratulated for their wonderful attitude towards airports.

A bit of Paradise...I learned of this wonderful place at a fly-in in Tennessee I was planning a trip to Idaho and Cavanaugh Bay was suggested by a new friend. This place was the highlight of the trip. The wife and I flew my Cessna 170 from Mississippi with camping gear. I was concerned about my wife not enjoying the camping from past experience. She loved this place! We were greeted by Allen and his hospitality was first class. Thank you Allen for a wonderful time and the Northern Hospitality.

Shane, if you read this, you have a place to stay in San Diego. You may be a bit eccentric up there but your company is welcome should you travel this way. Rboerner@geckofinancial.Com. Safe flight to you, Robert.

The airstrip surprised us at first, as it is bumpy on the rollout, as we don't do much turf/dirt strip flying. The overall experience an A+. Running water, hot showers, fresh coffee - just right to get our feet wet with tent camping by plane. A thunder storm caused power outage at the restaurant/bar so we used the very nice State of Idaho courtesy car to run Coolin for a couple of cans of chili. Our tent kept us dry and happy during the night's thunder storms and light rain until we awakened under a 3, 500' ceiling. Alan is a great caretaker and keeps the facilities in perfect condition. There is nothing to fault with this fantastic airstrip! As a "flat-lander" pilot though, keep it light and be sure to review the soft-field landing and take-off procedures. Landing fast and high is NOT a good idea. Landing northbound or departing southbound was not an option for us in our 150 hp 172. The plane could probably handle it but, as a pilot, I know I could not.
