We fly in the western US and Canada and love to camp next to our airplane. Have you discovered any great airports that either offer or allow camping? What are some of the attractions near the airport that make it a good destination? Any good restaurants? We love to camp but hate to cook.

Camping with a 6month old?
highly wor
Im taking my 6month old camping, did you take a 6month old camping, and how was the baby where the pretty content? Explain how everything went. PLEASE ;)
Answer
we took ours and it was great. we brought the play pen and he slept in that, we had a tent that was kind of like a 2 room, so he was in his play pen and we were on the ground in sleeping bags next to him. tips- bring bugspray wipes. they work great on babies and keep him covered. we went in the summer and he got very hot so we grabbed a basin and filled it with water and he played in that in the shade for a long time, while we bbq-ed and ate or cleaned up. you can fold a towel in the bottom so he won't slip around and place it right up on the picnic table next to you. also - get a site with electric, and bring a fan. you don't want him to get too hot during his naps - so good luck. you are going to have a great time!!
