Airport Campground

at Columbia Airport

From Chris Berg on 07-Sep-2009

Campground is north of rwy 11-29 (turf rwy) and is well marked from rwy 17-35. Nice, clean facilities. There were very few campers on Labor Day weekend. I counted only 8 or 9 aircraft on Saturday night. Fee is still $8/night. There's a drop tube near the showers. As you are walking into town, the first restaurant you'll come to is The Frosty. If you arrive late, as we did, and can't wait to eat, this place is pretty good. It was certainly better than I was expecting from the looks of it. I had a delicious bleu cheese burger.

We come up for the camping once or twice a year. Nice facilities, Showers, water, picnic benches, and lots of trees for shade cover. Small hike the town and had dinner at El Jardin Mexican restaurant. This time was a little out of the ordinary as there was a fire and the grass runway was being used as a staging area for 4 Erickson Air-Cranes, Cobra, Huey, and all the support equipment. We were able to get up close and take lots of pictures.

We came in for an overnighter and found the campground empty. We have been there before and again enjoyed their great scenery and facilities. Just don't forget the bug spray! Camping was $8 per night/plane.

The county just took over the "clubhouse" that is part of the campground, and it can be rented for groups flying in. There's even Air Conditioning!

Spent two nights at this great campground and only two other groups there. Excellently maintained and quiet except for the occasional departure which is music to most pilot's ears. Temps were; high - mid-eighties, low - low to mid sixties. Plenty of breezes during the day. Will be making this camping stop an annual trip.

Another enjoyable trip camping at the Columbia Airport. We had the campground all to ourselves Jul 27. Although the weather was very hot, the trees shading the campground made it very comfortable. Walked to town for a delicious dinner at El Jardin Mexican restaurant, and a nice breakfast at Columbia House. Looking forward to our next camping trip to Columbia.

Facility is up to date and clean. However, go to the inn in downtown Jamestown for a better night.

What a great time we had! Annual Columbia Father's Day Fly-In with 3 overnights at the Columbia Airport Campground. Campgrounds are wonderful with trees providing lots of shade with a breeze to go along with them. Shower facilities are excellent!! A fun walk across runway 17/35 and over the Frank Dondero trail into town provides a very fun adventure. This is such a cool place to fly to!!!

Great Campground. Not suppose to be open till April 1 so the water was off. Weather and campground were great. Turf strip was in very good shape for this time of year. Walk to town is short but beware things tend to close early.
