Allendale County Airport sits in Allendale, South Carolina. Field elevation is 161.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 4,990 ft long with asphalt pavement. It is the longest runway on the field.
There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,162 ft MSL based on the field elevation.
Allendale County Airport is on the field and carries AVGAS 100LL plus Jet A. Call the airport at (803) 584-3801 for fuel or service. For after-hours fuel or service, the published remark gives a different number to call. The runway lighting is medium intensity on 17 and 35. A PAPI is active for both runway ends. The windsock may not be reliable because of nearby trees and buildings. There is also a 5-foot drainage structure 1,220 ft from the runway 17 threshold and 75 ft left of centerline. For clearance delivery, contact Jacksonville ARTCC.
For a first-time arrival, this is a simple non-towered field with one runway and basic visual aids. Watch the runway 17 end carefully because of the drainage structure near the approach side. Use the CTAF for traffic calls. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
