About Placerville Airport
Placerville Airport is a county-owned public-use general aviation airport serving Placerville and El Dorado County in California's Sierra Nevada foothills. It primarily supports private aviation, charter flights, pilot training and business traffic rather than scheduled airline service.
Located about three miles east of downtown Placerville, the airport sits at an elevation of roughly 2,585 feet and is reached from State Route 193. Its single asphalt runway, 5/23, and supporting helipad accommodate small general aviation aircraft, with self-service fuel, hangars, tie-downs and a pilot lounge available on site.
Because there is no scheduled passenger service, travelers using Placerville Airport generally continue by private vehicle or pre-arranged ground transportation. The airport provides a convenient general aviation entry point for Placerville's historic Main Street, Apple Hill, Coloma and other Gold Country and Sierra Nevada destinations.
The on-site Airplane Cafe, pilot lounge, restrooms and around-the-clock self-service fuel island support pilots and visitors throughout the day, while the airport's location keeps Placerville and nearby communities within a short drive.
