IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN TO FIELD DAY!

Thank you KK7AIR, Scott for once again inviting us to the Georgetown Airport Campground for another Field Day fly-in event! Thank you for hosting us!

The airport has a very nice shaded private campground, which is accessed by a side road on the West side of the runway. There is running potable water, two restrooms with sinks, and a cold shower. The site has a good amount of shade and picnic tables, but you might consider bringing a pop-up or canopy along with comfortable lawn chairs for socializing, relaxing, and eating. The camping area is perfect for tents and small RVs. 5th wheel, larger bumper pull trailers along with class A coaches will park across the runway near the hangars. There are no hook-ups or dump stations.
