Guidelines
Rules? Yea, we have a few. Check out these dos and don’ts to make your stay enjoyable.
The EAA website will undergo scheduled maintenance on Friday, January 16, 2026, beginning at 5:00 p.m. (CST). Portions of the website, including membership login, join, renewal, shopping, and AirVenture ticketing may be impacted at that time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
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.

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.
