What you need to know
EAA AirVenture is the largest fly-in gathering of aircraft in the world, held at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin every year — July 24-30 in 2028, officially published by EAA, which sets AirVenture dates years in advance. During show week the airport's control tower famously handles more traffic than any other on the planet. For RV travelers the event is purpose-built: Camp Scholler, EAA's own campground on the grounds, hosts an enormous city of RVs and tents with the flight line a shuttle ride or walk away. Camp Scholler operates largely first-come with advance registration options through EAA — study the current camping rules early, because show week fills the entire Fox Valley. Late July is peak Wisconsin RV season on top of the event itself, so book the rig 12+ weeks out from Milwaukee or Madison markets. Daily afternoon airshows, twice-weekly night airshows, and several thousand show aircraft fill a full week.

Safety + legal
A week of July sun with limited shade — treat hydration and sunscreen as gear. Ear protection during jet demonstrations, especially for kids along the flight line.
Insider tip — what you won't find elsewhere
Camp Scholler regulars bring bicycles — the grounds are vast, and a bike turns 25-minute walks between the seaplane base shuttle, museum, and flight line into 5-minute hops.
