Woodward Field (CDN)

Woodward Field (CDN), officially known as the Kershaw County Airport, is a premier general aviation facility located three nautical miles northeast of the historic city of Camden, South Carolina. Serving as a critical transportation link for the Midlands region, the airport occupies a 396-acre site and acts as a hub for corporate aviation, private pilots, and regional flight training. The facility is owned and operated by Kershaw County and is recognized for its high level of service and importance to the local community's economic development. The airport's infrastructure is centered around a modern passenger terminal building and a comprehensive Fixed Base Operator (FBO), the Camden Jet Center. The terminal provides a welcoming environment for both resident and transient pilots, featuring a comfortable lounge area, a dedicated flight planning room, and free high-speed Wi-Fi. The FBO offers a full suite of services including 24-hour self-service and full-service fueling (both 100LL and Jet A), as well as aircraft maintenance, hangar storage, and tiedown facilities. Additionally, the airport is home to Aircraft Maintenance Services, which provides major airframe and powerplant repairs, making it a highly functional destination for technical support. Operational capacity at CDN is bolstered by two well-maintained asphalt runways, with the primary runway (6/24) measuring 5,000 feet in length, suitable for a wide range of corporate jets and regional turboprops. The airfield is equipped with an Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS-3PT) and pilot-controlled lighting, ensuring accessibility during all hours. While the airport does not currently host scheduled commercial airline service, it is a bustling center for air taxi operations and frequently supports military training flights from nearby bases. Its location near the historic Camden Revolutionary War site and major thoroughfares makes it a strategically located and convenient gateway for visitors to the Kershaw County region.
