The North 40 isn't that bad. I parked there two years. There's
no blasted PA system and your much closer to the off-field services
(Restaurants, groceries).

I've only been to OSH once, in 1995 to see the WWII birds. I parked and
camped for two nights in the north 40 with my 182 tail against the fence
by the hangar owned or maybe just used that week, by Kermit Weeks. It
was a nice location, although it was either a bus ride or very long walk
to get to the heart of the action.

The only real complaint I had was the lousy toilet and shower facilties.
The shower trailers had about 25% of the capacity required and I don't
think they were cleaned even once a day. The grass had been mowed right
before the start of the show (I arrived on the first day) and the
trailers were soon tracked full of grass which clogged up the shower
drains and made things a mess. And it stayed that way for the two days
that I camped. My friend and I got a room at the dorms for the rest of
our five day stay and that was much nicer although a little warm and
night with no AC. However, the dorm restrooms and showers were quite
nice as dorms go and were kept very clean by the staff.
