The Oaks Airfield began in 1942 as a satellite airfield for Camden. 

The airfield is all-over grass, and is situated near the foot of the Blue Mountains at 880 feet elevation.  Operations are subject to a combination of frequently challenging weather conditions, wildlife, and a mix of traffic that on occasion includes sport aircraft, gliders, helicopters and GA aircraft.  

This provides a unique environment to learn about aviation, and is unlike other training airfields in the Sydney basin.  

The airfield is located south-west of Camden, one kilometre west of The Oaks township, along Burragarong Road.

Operational details of the airfield can be found in the ERSA.
