Livengood Camp is in Livengood, Alaska. The field elevation is 427.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 3,000 ft long on gravel. This is an uncontrolled airport with no tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway is not maintained. Condition is not monitored, so a close visual check before landing is a good idea. Runways 15 and 33 also have nonstandard markings. Runway edges are marked with cones.

Watch for frequent helicopter traffic from the adjacent work camp. That matters on arrival and departure, especially if you are planning a low approach or a tight pattern. A weather camera is available online through FAA weather cameras, which can help with a quick look before you launch. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go if you need current field details or services.
