OK folks.

Nominate your favourite B&B in the Oshkosh area. This is our first trip.

At this point, you'd be lucky to find a parking spot in a rest area to spend the
night.
Call a hotel in the area and tell them you want a room during "Oshkosh". The
first question they'll ask is "What year?".
My wife and I decided to attend, around this time of the year, once. Closest room
we could find was about an hour away, outside of Ripon. A real ******** that we,
not so affectionately, named "The Bates Motel" because the owner's creepy, 35 yo,
son seemed to like to stand outside our window in the morning. We never got a
good night's sleep there as we'd wake up to every sound (Usually just the mold in
the bathroom...snoring).


Of all the options I would rank them:

Stay in Vintage Camping (must purchase classic aircraft first)
Stay in either North 40 or Camp Scholler
Scholler is closer to Vintage Flight line, North 40 to Warbirds.
Scholler can take tents or campers including a 24 hour generator area
(you can have your A/C running all night)
Local Hotels (probably close to impossible to get at this point)
Local homes (can usually find a last minute place)
UW dorms (can usually find a last minute place)
Farther out hotels/B&Bs

I prefer Vintage Camping myself, I know someone who flies into Green Bay
and stays there and he likes that better. I will say there are some
experiences you will never see if you don't stay on the field and
walking the flight line at dusk is phenominal (if you are wearing bug
spray).
