Default Camping at OSH

I am planning to attend Airventure for the first time this year. I thought I'd
drive up the morning of the 27th and camp for 3 nights. Is it likely I will be
able to get a site at that time? How are the facilities?

Thx

Chris

You should not have any problem getting a camp site in the camp ground. We
have never run out of sites in the campground. It might be a long walk to
the shower houses. There are a couple of camp stores. There are portapotties
everywhere as we grab all there are in a 6 state area.

One thing I never figured out was where do you clean off your dirty
dishes and pans if you are camping? RV's have their own kitchen but
those who are camping don't. You can't, or shouldn't be washing food
off your dishes at the communal water trough's so where do you go?

Take a water jug along and fill it up. At your site, use a dishpan and
soapy water. After the dishes have all the food off, use a pot on your
cookstove to boil water, then pour on the dishes to sterilize them. Some
use a Clorox and water solution, instead.

What do you do with the dirty water? Throw it downwind? Pour it on
your neighbors tent? Save it for next time? I know how to wash
dishes, getting rid of the food flecked dishwater was what gave me
pause. I really did not know what to do with it, the quarters were
close and I wanted to be a good neighbor.

Pour it on the fire. The grass there is already dead, and nature will take
care of the Ph imbalance before it gets back to the ground water.

Or scratch a little hole, and let it soak back into the ground.

The dish water?

Surely, the prevailing RAH opinion would call for water from a different pot
altogether.
