The field handles Army rotary-wing and fixed-wing operations, training, and deployments.
💡 Local Tip
Don’t rely on GPS alone to reach the airfield—it may route you to a restricted or closed gate. Frequent visitors confirm the specific Fort Campbell gate and visitor control center with their unit or sponsor, then use that gate for all pickups and drop-offs.
🚖 Getting There
No public transportation serves the airfield directly. Most travelers use Nashville International Airport (BNA) and drive about 70 miles via I-24 West; rental cars are the most practical option. Rideshare and taxi drivers may not have base access, so arrange pickup or drop-off at a visitor control center or approved gate with someone who can escort you.
