Spaceport Camden was a proposed vertical-launch orbital spaceport on the Georgia coast targeting small- and medium-lift commercial rockets. After more than a decade of development and over $11 million in county investment, the project was canceled in March 2022 when a Camden County voter referendum rejected the land purchase 73% to 27%. The FAA-AST Launch Site Operator License (granted December 2021) was subsequently allowed to lapse. The site never hosted a launch.

Strategic Value
Cautionary case study in U.S. commercial spaceport development — a decade of investment killed by a single voter referendum. Useful as a baseline for environmental-review and community-consent risk when evaluating other proposed sites.
Recent Activity
Project formally inactive since March 2022 referendum; FAA license lapsed; no public reactivation efforts as of 2026.
