Campbellford Airfield

Land redevelopment for economic purposes. The land was sold or leased and subsequently redeveloped for the construction of the Seymour Solar facility, a large-scale commercial solar farm. The value of the land for renewable energy generation surpassed its value as a private airfield.

The site of the former airfield is now completely occupied by the Seymour Solar facility, a large ground-mounted solar panel array owned by Cordelio Power. All aviation infrastructure, including the runway and any hangars, has been removed to accommodate the solar farm. While the faint outline of the former runway is still visible in some satellite imagery, the land is fully repurposed for industrial-scale renewable energy generation.

Campbellford Airfield, also known as Campbellford (Seymour) Airport, was a small, privately owned airfield. Its primary role was serving the local general aviation community. It was used for recreational flying, flight training, and as a base for privately owned light aircraft. It did not handle scheduled commercial flights or have any military significance. The airfield consisted of a single turf or gravel runway (approximately 2,600 feet) and minimal infrastructure, typical of a private airstrip. It served as a convenient local aviation resource for pilots in the Trent Hills area.

There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening the Campbellford Airfield. The land has undergone a complete and permanent conversion with the installation of long-term energy infrastructure. The significant capital investment and long-term power purchase agreements associated with the solar farm make a return to aviation use virtually impossible.
