Columbia Airport and Canards West
As many of you already know, Columbia Airport offers a wonderful campground tucked away in the shade of an old oak grove. You can pitch your tent at one of 20 campsites that include picnic tables and fire rings, or you can camp right under the wing of your airplane. The campground also features a large group fire ring, bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers, horse shoe pits and a sand volleyball court. At just $10/night the campground at Columbia Airport is one of the best deals around for camping.
