Marine Corps Outlying Field (MCOLF) Camp Davis[2] (FAA LID: 14NC) is a military use airport northeast of the central business district of Holly Ridge,[1] in Onslow County, North Carolina, United States.
It was an expansive facility consisting of more than 3,000 buildings on 45,538 acres (184 km2) with access provided by newly built railroad spurs leading into the camp.
[7] In June 1946,[7] a portion of the Camp Davis area formerly used by the Army as the Coastal Artillery Anti-Aircraft Firing Range (present-day Surf City, North Carolina) was transferred to the United States Navy.
In 1954, the Marine Corps took out a new lease for approximately 955 acres (3.86 km2) on the former Camp Davis airfields & surrounding land from International Paper Company.
[8] During a renovation in 2023-2024, the Camp Davis OLF runway was torn up, raised, and resurfaced with three layers of rock, gravel, and asphalt, plus concrete landing pads were added in the middle of the OLF designed to handle high-intensity heat generated during hovering, landing, and turning maneuvers.
