Columbia Airport and Bald Eagle FBO are gems. We flew in from Albuquerque in a Cessna 421. Rental car was easy to reserve and pickup (10 feet from FBO). Josh was fantastic in helping us and running the airfield. Camping on the airfield is fantastic. It looks like an old fire base (the new fire base is on the northeast side of field). They have running water, flushing toilets, and showers all for a small fee. No bugs that we noticed as we slept under the stars. There are plenty of campsites. The "taxiway" to aircraft camping parking is in poor shape but you can taxi on the grass runway. There is some terrain around the airport so be careful on approach and departure. There are two good lakes for paddleboarding or waterworks nearby--New Melones and Lake Alpine. We went Lake Alpine and loved it.

On a "bucket list" trip with two homebuilts and stopped for one night. Got fuel and then taxied over to the little campground next to the grass strip. Great campground with showers and restroom facility. We were going to stay for two nights but weather changed and we only stayed overnight. Highly recommended if you are camping. Understand there is a nice little downtown area a 10-minute walk but we were unable to check it out.

Flew in for fuel and food. Everything worked well on the self-fuel island. After filling up I pulled my Saratoga 50 feet (downhill) and tied down my aircraft. We walked 8 minutes to Mandy’s Breakfast house located on Parrotts Ferry Rd. The food and service was excellent! Mandy’s is open daily from 7 AM to 2 PM. They also serve lunch as well as breakfast. I will return to Columbia just to eat again at Mandy’s.
