xxxxxxxxxxSullivan Lake is one of the best airplane camping locations in Washington. The lake itself is incredibly warm and a joy to swim in during the summer. The campsites have firepits and picnic tables. There is a pit toliet located at midfield.The airport is located in the middle of a campground. As such, it's common for careless campers to wander onto the runway or for children to be playing. As such, making a low pass to scare any humans/animals off would be a good idea before landing.Note that the runway is only 1,700ft long. Make sure your approach is stabalized before attempting a landing. Go-arounds are possible, but a late go-around puts you into rising terrain and large trees. This coupled with low airspeeds has been the cause of crashes before here.Sullivan Lake is one of the best airplane camping locations in Washington.
