Sorry Mr Deftone. But, it's ugly in here.

EAA is moving to a temporary alternate camping plan after the thunderstorms of the past 24 hours have left many areas of the AirVenture grounds saturated. We are continually assessing conditions and will continue to provide the best possible solutions as the rains end over the next few hours.
Camp Scholler (drive-in) Camping
Three storms within 18 hours have left Camp Scholler saturated. While the rain is scheduled to subside on Saturday evening, crews are assessing sites that remain suitable for either tent or motorhome camping.
In the interim, motorhomes are being placed along Waupun Road east of Poberezny Road, as well as in the Aviation Plaza parking lot just north of Wittman Regional Airport. Those will be temporary locations until the campground begins to dry.
Tent campers will be located on the best possible locations in the campground or in alternate sites that are not saturated.

This is a good area. 101 woods. South in the farmland is nothing but mud bogs.
The airport was closed to arrivals all afternoon unless they had hard parking arranged. No plane campers. I hope sunday is better, or a lot of folks are going to be just as unhappy as deftone.
This river through Camp Scholler has been flowing solid all day.

(Sorry for the sideways pics. Don't know why it does that...)
Are the camp buses running this morning?
First timers on our way in with a travel trailer. Any advice on where to head to wait out the flood?

honestly, I'd head to Fond du Lac or Appleton airport, find a place tonpark, and take a shuttle here. Camp scholler is definitely drying out, but it’s going to be a while. It's not so much the grass parking that’s bad, it's that every roadway is a mud pit.
rather than wait behind literally hundreds of others, go to one of the other airports with parking and shuttle here until Scholler opens. Warning when it does open, the lines will be STUPENDOUS. Just stay away for a day or two
