    If you haven't already, check out the Camp Scholler website to get more specifics: https://eaa.org/airventure/plan-your.../camp-scholler Camping, although not everyone's cup of tea, can be a blast and EAA makes it pretty painless.

    1. It's "car" camping which means you park your vehicle on the campsite next to your tent.
    2. There's plenty of showers, plus porta potties (which they do a great job of keeping clean). There's also camp stores where you can buy food, drinks, ice, and some misc items if you forget something. Plus there's shuttle buses to Target and Uber/Lyft if you prefer or want to go to someplace else like Wal-mart and don't want to drive.
    3. Osh is huge and depending on when you show up you can be placed pretty far out, so it can be a bit of a hike to anything -- bringing a bicycle helps. IIRCyou can rent one too.

    Here's a sample list of items to bring:
    - Credit Card
    - Tent
    - Tent ground cloth
    - Camping chair
    - Sleeping bag or sheets/blanket and pillow
    - Air mattress (real nice to have)
    - Sunscreen
    - Comfortable walking shoes, preferably 2 pairs (in case onepair gets wet)
    - Hat
    - Jacket/hoodie (the cool night temps might not be anissue for you but for us southerners, it can get uncomfortably chilly)
    - Spare clothes
    - Dry bag or something you can put anything in you leave in your tent that you don’t want to get wet (unless you are 100% confident in your tent -- or just leave stuff in your car)
    - Shower/personal hygiene kit
    - Shower shoes/flip-flops
    - Towels
    - Phone
    - Phone Charger
    - Sun glasses
    - Baby wipes
    - Ear plugs
    - flashlight (I like the headlamp type to keep my hands free)
