LOL If this is your first Nats, you will go home saying "I ain't missing any more" Holy sh*^!, we are used to primitive camping, you mean we get power and water! that creates more questions, Joy Johns or actual toilets? Showers or hose at the van? paved or grass sites? sounds like we will be livin large, ITS ON!

There will be porta poopers and bathrooms in the shower house. Most of the campsites are grass. Thats better than gravel though cuz its less dusty. We like to camp comfortably.

We have water hook-ups & a water truck.

Plenty of power Plenty of water some sites have no water Port a Johns and if I remember about 100 flush toilets between men and women. Showers real ones available This site is 99 acres and it is on a fairgrounds, there is all grass parking, there are paved roads all over you cannot park on them due to fire code. | | | Re: 40th Van Nationals July 11-15, 2012 Wisconsin | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 1,389 old hand | old hand Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 1,389 | 99 Acres! Wow a bicycle and a wagon might be in order.

Elkhorn does not have a ban yet and they may not, I just want everyone know ahead of time.
One good thing though that means the mosquito population has been down. | | | Re: 40th Van Nationals July 11-15, 2012 Wisconsin | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 6,261 Bad Girls from New York, Bad Western Inn in IN. | Bad Girls from New York, Bad Western Inn in IN.

And we are in official drought--we had .05" of rain this entire month-down several inches in the water table too.
Anyway--it is the same all around, I don't think there will be too much belly-aching--especially if it hits 100+ again like last time the Nats was in WI!
Not far now is it Ed?!!
Cherish your friends! HUGGS to all! Suzie
