I would love to know this too. Had a blast camping and watching concerts there at the 105th. Would hate to make campground reservations somewhere, only to find out they were going to do this again.
Seeing as the cost is almost double to go this anniversary, I would think they would have some of these details worked out for us to make reservations and have as many acts as last time.
I'm not really worried about the big shows, like all the smaller venues and stopping at watering holes meeting new friends all weekend.
If anyone here's of another HOG Haven, please post details.

Just received an email today from the Washington County Fair Park. Looks like they are going to have camping there again for the 110 Anniversary. No information in the email in regards to activities, bands, etc was provided. I'm guessing they are still working out the details, but this does look like good news for people that enjoy camping.

May want to grab this one? Looks like a few left? Perfect location. Right on the Hwy. Close to food, gas, supplies etc. This hotel is about 3 miles north of where people will be camping at Wash Co Fair Grounds. This is right in the heart of what is called the Kettle Moraine.

How is the Racine area? a bud and I booked room about a month ago. It was about as close as we could find. It looks to be about 30 miles south or about a 45 - 50 minute ride. It also looks as if we can take the shoreline into Milwaukee.

Racine is not bad...but there are some areas that unfortunately are not. Provide major cross streets / highways so someone who is closer can provide better information.

Not much of a lake ride from Racine either. You're better off just hitting 94 and spending your time in Milwaukee.

Not my first pick for a hotel. But way closer than from home. We are coming across the lake from Muskegon Mi.

X2 on what's been said about riding around Holy Hill. In general the Kettle Moraine area is totally worth it. Highway 83 winds through the small village of Chenequa (Sha-nee-kwa), through North Lake (where race fuel is available if you so desire) and onward to Hartford. Pewaukee, Waukesha, Brookfield, Delafield, Hartland, Menomonee Falls, Germantown, Sussex, and Lisbon are all within an acceptable radius of Milwaukee and offer a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. The local food is excellent, don't even consider fast food unless you absolutely must.
Word of warning: Some areas of Milwaukee aren't exactly the best to be hanging out in, especially at night. The general rule is that a box formed by Highway 45 on the west, North Ave on the south, I43/Green Bay Ave on the east, and County Line road on the north is what the locals call "The North Side". You wont get carjacked or mugged (usually) just for being in that part of town, however it's a rougher area with gang activity and frequent 6pm news reports. Hide any valuables, make sure your vehicle is locked, and be aware of your surroundings at night. Best to go out with friends if you decide to. Full size GM cars with 20"+ wheels are a frequent sighting here.
That being said, Downtown, Shorewood, The East Side, the Historic 3rd Ward, and Wauwatosa are all great places to be. Shorewood has beautiful mansions that overlook the lake, the East Side and 3rd Ward are home to the nightlife of Milwaukee, with bars and local eateries all within walking distance. Downtown is modern, clean (for a smallish city), friendly, and has a large amount of artwork (especially around the art museum and Discovery World).
Anyone who visits will love it here. Just remember to bring a long sleeve shirt or light jacket, as it can be noticeably cooler near the lake (especially at night).
