Preferred aircraft camping areas are depicted on the airport diagram. If camping on or near closed runways remember they will reopen late Sunday morning.
DRIVE-IN CAMPING
RVs please use the south entrance. Early arrivals should set-up along the east edge of the airport until the diagonal runways are closed to aircraft operations Thursday evening. There are no electrical hook ups or sanitary dump available for campers or RV’s. Drive-in campers are being asked to use the south entrance to make more room for auto parking. Signage should be in place to guide you to the south driveway. You may camp along the east edge of the field and in the runway turnaround area once it is closed with the yellow X. The diagonal runways will be closed Thursday night or possibly earlier by NOTAM. Additional camping is available on the southwest side by accessing the south driveway and following the road through Hangar Alley. Please do not park, or stop and leave your vehicle in Hangar Alley. Do not drive across runways to access aircraft camping areas. The southwest runway turnaround is also available for camping once closed. All runways will reopen Sunday by noon. Check NOTAM for exact time or watch for the “X” removal crew. Please plan your site accordingly.
