Aircraft Camping

Flying in to Oshkosh and pitching a tent under the wing of your airplane is perhaps the ultimate way to experience AirVenture.

You must be an EAA member to camp in an aircraft camping area. No pre-registration is necessary and airplane campsites are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A three (3) day minimum camping fee applies.

Shower facilities, free public Wi-Fi, on-site transportation, and grocery (for food and supplies) are available. 

To camp in a showplane area, your aircraft must be eligible for judging in one of the judging categories. 

• Vintage showplane camping
• Homebuilt showplane camping
• Ultralight showplane camping
• Rotorcraft showplane camping
• Seaplane (amphib) showplane camping

Judging information, requirements, location and other information related to showplane camping can be found here.

NOTE

1. Shower facilities and portable toilets in all AirVenture camping areas (aircraft camping and Camp Scholler) will be opened as demand dictates and as camping sections expand and begin to fill.
2. Facilities will not be opened on preestablished dates, but rather as necessary.
3. Locked shower facilities and locked banks of portable toilets will have signs posted, directing guests to the nearest open facilities.
4. If you notice facilities are not open within camping areas that are already populated, please report to your corresponding area’s registration or admissions buildings so they can inform EAA South Maintenance.
