Thanks for the comments folks. I haven't had my licence long. I think I am
a reasonably good pilot (so does Transport Canada apparently) but I
recognize that I have little experience, that was one reason why I was
leaning toward flying into another field. The other reason is that I would
have more flexibility to leave when I need to, since I understand that OSH
is closed for the airshow each afternoon.

I've never flown into OSH VFR, I fly IFR pretty much all the time.
However, it was trivial, even when I had an electrical system failure
about 20 miles out. The folks providing direction on the ground are
good and it was easy to follow directions to the parking/camping spot.
Leaving was fairly easy also other than having to file the IFR flight
plan a few hours in advance as I recall.

I wouldn't hesitate to fly into OSH.
