The
Experimental Aircraft Association, CSRA EAA 172, Augusta, Georgia, has
several members and associates who have their own private
airstrips or regularly use private airstrips. In most cases the
airstrips have FAA issued identifiers. In some cases
it's just a pasture used occasionally as an airstrip on the owner's
property. Regarding those airstrips with FAA issued identifiers, the
FAA information legally is in the public domain (in other words, not private, copyrighted, or secret!). That public information is what is in the listings below that have identifiers.

NOTE: In ALL cases you must
contact the airstrip owners before landing on their airstrips. In many cases
the airstrip is also a pasture. There may be cattle or horses that usually
use the land. You, and the airstrip owner, would definitely be distressed
and angered if you killed a prize thoroughbred horse worth a quarter million
dollars. You, because you might wreck your plane or be seriously injured
or possibly killed. They, because they lost a prize horse (though most likely they would also be upset about your injury or death!).
Note that your liability insurance may not cover the damages you inflict
and so you would be personally responsible for the rest of the damages. You
may also have a criminal charge of trespass to handle.
So, call ahead!
