2017 AirVenture Grounds, Camp Scholler Maps & 2017 EAA AirVenture App, Ready

Looking at the new 2017 camping map, it looks like they flipped where 24 hour generator area will be and it will be larger this year. Where will all the the non generator campers go now? We arrive usually on the Thursday or Friday before opening day and that area is all ready filling up fast. It's already at the farthest back corner area and the farthest away from the entrance gate .

For the first time I am thinking of attending the show with an airplane that I won't be camping with. Does the Camp Scholler tenting area ever fill up to where they turn away new arrivals?

I don't think they ever turn anyone away, but if you don't arrive early you will be camping a LONG way from the show. For the past 7 or 8 years I've been camped in that narrow strip between Audrey's Park and the movie theater, but the last 2 years I've arrived Thursday before opening day and got the last spot in that area. Unfortunately I changed jobs over the winter and I'm on a time card again instead of salary, and I'm not sure I can afford to go that early. Which means I'll probably be somewhere between Rt 41 and the water & electric spots.

You are correct they flipped where the 24 hour generator area is on the new 2017 camping map.
Note: The 2017 Camp Scholler map does not show 2017 on the map itself, It says av17 in the address link only.
The 2016 Camp Scholler map says 2016 on the map and in the address link.

Here is a link to "Grounds Improvements for AirVenture 2017"
To name a few;
New Quonset hut, Blue barn, Homebuilts area constructed a new social pavilion.
Vintage Red barn additions.
