Castroville Muni sits in Castroville, Texas. The field elevation is 773.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 5,001 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. The published frequencies include CTAF and UNICOM on 122.8. San Antonio Approach handles approach and departure on 118.05 and 353.5. For clearance delivery, the published remark says to contact San Antonio Approach at 210-805-5516. The on-field FBO is Castroville Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours self service. Jet A is full service during attendant hours.
The runway lights on 16/34 are preset to low intensity from sunset to sunrise. Use CTAF to increase intensity. The field also has a published pavement strength note, so check aircraft weight and current field conditions before planning a heavier arrival. Bright lights at the ball park can be a factor from April through July. This is a non-towered field with San Antonio area traffic nearby, so stay sharp on radio calls and watch for local activity.
