Camping/RV spaces are located within the designated camping area west of the clubhouse. Spaces are are available on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Every trailer or RV must be moved off the gliderport every 60 days to comply with Washoe County regulations.
There are no hookups available for water or electricity and no grey water disposal, so campers must be self contained. Restrooms, showers, a food prep area and a washer/dryer facility are available. Each camping space is approximately 30x50 feet which will accommodate even the largest motor home. To reserve a space contact David Volkmann. Rental Agreement
Air Sailing has two trailers available for rent by the day, week or month. Each trailer has been completely refurbished and is located under the trees in the camping area, (spaces 6 and 8), along with numerous privately owned trailers. To reserve a space contact David Volkmann.
Substantial work has been done to develop Air Sailing as an oasis in the desert. Over 50 shade trees are flourishing due to regular regular watering from a recently-installed automated drip system.
In 2002 Air Sailing opened the doors of the clubhouse. This spacious building serves as a cool and comfortable respite from the hot sun as well as a classroom for all of Air Sailing's educational events. It features a food prep area (shared fridge, microwave, sink etc.) and pilot briefing room as well as bathrooms and showers. Hot and cold running water and electricity make the clubhouse seem just like home.
In addition to the shower facilities in the clubhouse, there is a new bathhouse with showers, flush toilets and bathroom sinks with mirrors. There's even a washer and dryer!
A covered gazebo near the family area has picnic tables and a communal barbecue. A second gazebo has been installed under the trees near the flight line so non-flyers can enjoy picnics and watch the gliders in comfort.
Air Sailing is "off the grid" and all electricity is created via a diesel generator with a substantial battery backup system. Power is supplied to the hangar, clubhouse, bathhouse, and trailers. We urge you to conserve electricity, especially during the "quiet time" between 9pm and 9am when the generator does not run.
Please take a look at our Camping Guidelines for more information on staying at Air Sailing.The hangar can hold up to 20 gliders, with a max wingspan of 18m. Many frequent fliers at Air Sailing keep their gliders assembled in the hangar all summer long, though there's almost always room for additional weekend guests. To reserve a space read and sign the Hangar Lease Agreement and return it to David Volkmann.
For pilots wishing to tie down outside, several cables are installed for gliders and trailers. There is ample room for at least 20 gliders.
