As Parts Of The Country Are Still Digging Out From Winter Weather, EAA Announced Camp Scholler Site Reservations Are Going Online
If winter weather has you in the doldrums, maybe this news from EAA will make the future look a little brighter...and warmer. EAA says the number of improved campsites at EAA AirVenture’s Camp Scholler is increasing for 2016, and a new system will help people secure those campsites more quickly and easily.
The system for campsites with electricity and water connections will now be available online when campsite purchases begin in late June 2016. It will be possible to check the Camp Scholler website to see how many improved campsites are still available, where they are located, and the cost of securing them from that date through the final day of AirVenture.
“This system will be easier for EAA members securing these popular campsites, as they can check availability 24 hours a day,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member benefits. “It will eliminate the delays sometimes encountered when trying to reserve via phone. It will also ease the burden on our Camper Registration staff, who are also welcoming arrivals to the AirVenture grounds at the same time.”
This feature will be added to the EAA website on June 24, 2016, the same day Camp Scholler opens for those wishing to acquire a campsite for AirVenture 2016 on July 25-31. As always, campsite charges begin on the day of purchase through the end of the event.
This online system is only for improved campsites. Regular camping is currently available to pre-purchase through the AirVenture advance ticket website, or in person on a first-come, first-served basis at Camp Scholler registration beginning on June 24.
