I'm still on the fence about this year. I drive over from NYC and with gas prices hitting nearly 6 bucks a gallon and me with my not very thrifty F-150 going it alone this year....well, I'm gonna...

Hahaha, I just got back from a short business trip and just read this! Good I don't drink soda....Pepsi is battery acid/paint thinner anyway ;)

Okay folks, it's done. I'm happy someone took advantage of this as it simply means more folks get to enjoy the show :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info, will take it to heart :)

Hi all. I already posted this on another thread, but it was several pages in and will get buried and I feel a new thread would be better so folks can see it. Here goes:

I have a campground cabin...

Hahaha, totally agree with you there :)
I've been doing campground cabins for decades, me and my former partner had one on Lake George in NY for so long I lost count for our fishing boat excursions...

Figured I needed to follow up on this one. After long deliberation (and a little bit of luck and not minding driving a bit daily) I decided to go off site and not camp. I'm getting a bit too old to...

[QUOTE=MRUSA;75554]My advice: Arrive at least two days before the official start. This will get you a better campsite closer to the flight line which will save a lot of walking every day thereafter....

Well, I'm not going in with a plane sooooo... :confused:

Will do, Steve! Thanks for the info, it's very useful. I just checked out a few places near-ish to there, and some are even cheaper than Scholler(using Airbnb), but the trip to and from equates to...

Thanks!! I'm really looking forward to doing this, it's been a long time coming :)

Thanks for all the great advice!! I think I might change my choice of tent if the winds get that bad. Also will definitely get some better stakes, thats easy enough. Good idea on the car spot, will...

I've been checking out other off grounds choices but as expected, they are more expensive than even renting a camper for the week....so camping may be my only resource, at least for this year. Lesson...

Oh yeah, I know that,lol. I've already got most of my gear and the very first thing I got, before even the tent,was a nice Coleman spring suspended cot with foam mattress :thumbsup: I've tried it out...

Wow, both of you guys gave some excellent advice, thanks so much! I was going to hoof it to where I needed to go, but now I'm looking into electric scooters(I can't bike, my back won't let me)....

Wow....this just sounds like a good idea to save my pennies and try for off grounds accommodations----or none at all. I'm not a camper, never was, but thought this is the only way to do the full show...

Ok, let me start off by saying that I'm not even a pilot(yet!)and I've been dreaming of driving from NY to Oshkosh since I was 20y.o., I'm 54 now and finally have the time to do it. I'm not a rich...

This campground has been fully booked since January 8th....just called and been told that. Good to know for next year, though.

Wow, now this is getting me a bit worried as this will be my first trip to Oshkosh this year and I was planning on tenting the full week plus. I'm not averse to some noise, but generators can be...

Does all of this apply to early non plane campers? I assume so, just wanted to be sure as I plan to get there on Wednesday myself driving in. Thanks!

Good to know...I'll give it a shot and see. At least I know I can do it,lol. Thanks :)

One last question, please.
Can I drive on the campgrounds after I get there to a shower or do I have to walk to them? I plan on showering in the off hours, like overnight, as well. I'm not into...

Thanks, it makes for charging up my electronics much easier that way :) That's also plenty of room for my tiny old Corolla and 6 man tent as well. The anticipation is killing me :D

Ok, cool, nice to see something that's at least pointing me in the right direction, it's honestly a bit confusing. And by "just pull in" I'm assuming that my car sits on my spot with me...? never did...

I hope to take most of it in...sounds a little overwhelming, but I'm giving myself an extra day +(late Saturday and Sunday) to acclimate myself to it. Just bought the full week ticket yesterday and...
