Fly-in Campground


Columbia  Airport offers a wonderful Fly-In campground which is a popular  destination for aircraft organizations to hold annual fly-ins for their  members and guests. You can pitch your tent in one of 20  campsites that include picnic tables and barbecues, or you can camp  right under the wing of your airplane. The Columbia Airport campsite is  one of the best deals for camping anywhere with a modest fee of only $10 per night per aircraft which includes your overnight tie-down fee. The campground features  flush toilets and hot showers in addition to fire rings, horse shoe pits  and a volleyball court.


We do not currently accept reservations for campsites in the campground. 

Camping is on a first come first served basis!


Dogs are allowed in the campground but must be on a leash at all times.  Dog owners, please provide your own pet waste bags and help keep the campground clean.
