Camelot Airport

The specific reason is not publicly documented. As a small, privately owned airfield, closure was likely due to the sale of the property, a change in the owner's personal or financial circumstances, or economic factors making it no longer viable to maintain and operate.

The site is permanently closed to all aviation. Current satellite imagery shows the land is privately owned. The outlines of the two former turf runways are still faintly visible but are overgrown and returning to pasture. The property appears to be used for agricultural or ranching purposes. A large-scale solar energy facility, the Thrall Solar Project, has been constructed on the land immediately adjacent to the west and south of the former airfield.

Camelot Airport, which used the FAA location identifier 1TE1, was a privately owned, private-use airfield. It was established sometime after 1980, with its first known appearance on the 1986 Austin Sectional Chart. The airport served general aviation and was not used for commercial or military operations. It featured two distinct turf runways: a primary 3,000-foot north-south runway (17/35) and a 2,500-foot crosswind runway (12/30). Its significance was limited to its private owners and local aviation enthusiasts who may have used it with permission.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Camelot Airport. The conversion of the surrounding land for industrial-scale solar energy production makes any future use as an airfield extremely unlikely due to potential obstructions and incompatible land use.
