So, if I reserve today the 14th and do not arrive until the 20th I get charged from the 14th even though I will not be using the site?Quote:

Yes, this is true, you pay from the time you reserve an improved site through the end of the convention. Not likely to change since the spots are usually all gone by opening day. As long as people are willing to pay, the EAA will continue to charge......Quote:

All other sites are first come, first serve and you pay from the first arrival day through the end of the show but are eligible for a refund for early departure. Refunds are based on minimum stay of three days. So, if you only camp two nights, lets say Monday and Tuesday night and leave Wednesday before noon , you will be refunded for the remaining days, starting with Thursday night, satisfying the three day minimum stay. Hope that's clear as mud ....... ;-)

You can reserve the regular or improved Scholler campsites online-- there's separate links on the reservation site (same site where you can buy tickets). All of the aircraft camping sites are first come first with no online reservation provision.
You can buy general Scholler camping tickets online, but you can only reserve actual sites in the improved camping areas. All others are first come first served.Quote:

I've never looked at the reservation site, because I've invested too much over the years in camping gear that doesn't need electricity, but apparently the site lists how many sites are remaining. A buddy went up a few years ago with his brother's motorhome, and he said they just checked every day until the number of sites left got small, then reserved. I believe he said that was about Tuesday or Wednesday before opening day. So the trick is to just check every day and do it when the number gets small. Of course, I have no doubt that as more campers figure this trick out, that day will get real early.Quote:

The "favorite tree" we always camped by was taken over this year by new electric water sites so we had to find another new spot. At almost $70 per night the electric and water are not that convenient for our tastes. We do just fine with a couple Honda 2000 watters, an extra water barrel and a honey wagon.
It seems to vary. Two years ago with less sites you could have waited until the Friday before. Both last year and this year, end of day Wednesday before was pretty much it.Quote:

Another comment. Why did the EAA allow the vendor to increase the charge to dump the black and grey water tank from $30 last year to $45 this year. An EXCESSIVE increase that was NOT monitored? Would like the EAA to respond.
Allow? This is the organization that told a vendor to stop giving away free water. An increase means the EAA gets a bigger cut. No way would they put members over profits.Quote:
