Georgetown County Airport sits in Georgetown, South Carolina. Field elevation is 39.5 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 6,005 ft on runway 05/23. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. No ILS approaches are published here.
Seven Rivers Aviation is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call them at (843) 527-7516 before arrival if you need ramp or fuel status. Runway 05/23 has medium intensity lighting. It also has PAPI on both ends, runway end identifier lights on runway 05 and an omnidirectional approach lighting system from 0300 to 1000 on CTAF. Runway 11/29 is shorter at 4,539 ft. The published remarks also note that runway 11/29 has a very rough surface with grass growing through the cracks. It is closed to aircraft over 12,500 lb.
This is an uncontrolled field with Myrtle Beach approach frequencies in the area. Expect to work CTAF 123.0 and verify current procedures before you go. The airport has been around since before 1958. For any current noise, lighting, or operational changes, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator or Seven Rivers Aviation directly.
