Yes, I'd land on that runway! The small runways are the best fun.

Mine here at home is 40 feet wide between the lights, and about 80 feet wide between the trees at either end. It's fine for my plane, but it was tight when I brought in the Twin Otter, and more recently the Caravan.

My smallest "runway" operation would be this one. About 500 feet long, but with adequate approaches. Really rough ground in the scrub brush, so you don't want a wheel in there! There is no more rolling surface available, than that visible in the pictures...
