When walking into the city and if you are good on foot, when you leave the terminal building, turn 10º to the left and follow the nature path to the Columbia State Park. The path will let you question several times if you are on the right path, but it is the fastest path to the old gold mining town and the state park. Once you reach the main road, turn left and follow it into the town.
Great airport with a really great campground. Spent a night there. For taxiing to the campground you can either take the gravel taxiway right next to the wind sock or take the asphalt taxiway next to the grass runway and then cross 11/29. The gravel taxiway is okay and work if you are taking it slow, but if it’s dry I would prefer crossing over 11/29. The gravel as a couple of loosely filled pot holes and you will definitely kick up a lot of stones when you taxi there.
