AirVenture 2022

[Auburntsts]

Three guys (75, 64 and 55) from our airport have rented a house in Appleton and a rental car for the last 3 big shows. Another one (70) in our group was thinking he's too old for camping.
I'm 69 and thinking those guys just might be on to something. Maybe. Perhaps.
But then I wake up and smell the 100UL. Ya haven't attended Oshkosh if you haven't camped there. Sleeping in a tent for 10 nights. Showering in a trailer. Endless coffee in the HBC pavillion. The corn roast on Thursday. The RV beer fairy on Monday. The HBC beer tasting on Sunday. Breakfasts at the Sacred Heart booth. Dinners at the new Mineshaft. The evacuation to the museum before the big storm.
See y'all in camp.

I agree which is why staying off the immediate airport area (like in the dorms) has zero appeal to us. Staying in a rented RV at Sleepy Hollow for us is the best of all worlds — better accommodations, close proximity to our camping friends and non-show social activities like the HBC beer tasting, RV social, SOS bros, and various aircraft camping and Scholler parties, the bus park for rides to Target/Pick-n-Save and we still get to fly in— its just now we in park in HBP vs HBC, although last year, where they grouped the RV-10s it was hard to tell where HBP ended and HBC began. The only downside is cost—significantly more expensive than tent camping (be it aircraft or Scholler) for sure. Oh and we rode that storm you mentioned out in our tent 2 years ago. Bottom line is there’s lodging options for every preference as long as you don’t procrastinate.

We went from this tent to this trailer:
