If you show up at Camp Scholler a week or two before the show and pay for your spot through the end of the show, you can rope off your campsite, attach your camping credentials to the rope, and leave. Then come back anytine during the show and move back into your campsite. The campsite is paid for and therefore belongs to someone. If you take over one of these paid for spots, security will ask you to move when the owner comes back. This causes much stress and many hard feelings. I've heard of these horror stories while working at camper registration. Now, if the camping credentials are not attached to the rope, then it is a different story. However, I camp with a motorhome with no secondary mode of transportation and I'd be mighty ticked if someone stole my roped off spot while I was in line to dump my tanks or if I had to make an emergency Walmart trip. Airventure is kind of an interesting small world of it's own. People generally go out of their way to be nice to everyone. You will be surprised at how little liter there is on the grounds. The general rule is, if you see a piece of trash, pick it up and throw it out. Little niceties like that are part of what makes Oshkosh so enjoyable. Enjoy the show.
