They have to pay from that day until they leave to hold the site. The credentials are checked buy EAA officials, I have seen it. Note on the credentials it states that falsification of the document can lead to forfeiture.
Next to the woods you have volunteers who have been there for several weeks before the show and some sites that have been staked out for weeks, the grass was tall around the stakes.
Further west you have water and or electric sites. These you reserve on line on a first come basis and pay for from the day you committed. I heard last year that they were sold out a week early. You also have reserved sites for chapters and last year many of them were moved West of Stits.
Last year I arrived Tuesday before and camp out by 10th, and many spots out there had credentials. 101 woods was full and around all the shower houses were taken.
EAA had planted trees out west and they were just getting great then the Ash bore killed most of them. Last year they were camping people South of Ripple on Wednesday. Thursday is a mass exodus and sites open up all over.
I still can't hardly wait for Airventure and camping there. I bring a bike to get around camp, have meet some great people and always have a good time. And your stuff is secure it is a great bunch of people.
Am sure you will have a good time just don't expect to be close to the entrance.
