Stopped on the way to OSH for fuel. Taxiing up to the ramp there was a sign pointing to fuel at a well marked self serve pump. After fueling, we went into the FBO to use the restroom and were told when leaving there was a $20.00 ramp fee. We spoke to the manager and he explained that the town runs the self-serve pump and he gets no revenue from it. He provides fuel via truck and if you buy 10 gallons or more they waive the ramp fee. As we taxied up, there was no signage indicating any of this, just the sign pointing to the self serve pump. Had there been clear signs informing of this, we probably would have opted for the FBO fuel but as it is, it left us feeling taken advantage of. Clear information needs to be provided here.

I stopped for fuel after a 3-hour flight. The FBO was open but no one was there. They had a sign with two phone numbers to call for service. The first went to voicemail. The second number was for a line guy that was not working. He was helpful and directed me to the self-serve pumps. It was a long flight and I was trying to make a quick turn and would have gladly paid for full service fuel while checking weather and filing for the next leg. As others mentioned- no chocks or tie downs. There was a helicopter practicing hovering on the ramp. Bring your own chocks.

I arrived before their scheduled closing time, but no one was around. The tiedowns don't have chocks, ropes, or chains, so be sure to bring your own. As another commenter has mentioned, avoiding the $20 "ramp fee" (which comes with no services that I was aware of) requires buying 5 gallons of fuel. While the airport itself seemed to be fine with me staying overnight at no cost, the FBO wanted $10/night for parking because I made the mistake of parking in one of their spots on the first night.

The ad here says "no ramp fees" but that is out of date. Currently it is $20 or a 5-gallon minimum. What does that get you? No courtesy car, nobody at the FBO for a while after we landed, no chocks anywhere to be seen, nobody to answer the phone while nobody was in the building. There is a self serve pump on the ramp, which I would have used and saved money with no additional inconvenience.
