You can have/leave a vehicle in the Overland spots.
Did not know what an Overland spot was. Guess this page explains it:

look out!!!
Another fifty bucks, please.
Invite all of your buddies for the 1st time ever Overland Area camping at the National Rally! What you'll get is a 25'x50' reserved space to put whatever you want in it. Got an overland vehicle and a tent? No problem. Does your buddy have a tent and a trailer, no problem! How about a small RV and a tent? If you can fit in in the 25'x50' space this is the spot for you. Not going to show up until Friday, no problem!! This is a dedicated space, reserved just for you my dry camping friend. The Overland Area is noisier, funner and just outright gonna be a Blast! We'll have a nightly bon-fire pit for you to enjoy, just like a small rally, but with the 50th National Rally flare!
Sounds like a great deal to me. 25’X50’ is about the footprint of a house around here. Great place for an RV or 4 tents and a central campfire.
Looks a pretty popular idea as it indicates spots are sold out.

I asked if we could come in on Wed. and was told it was okay. We rented a sherpa tent and they are set up on Wed. and when we registered, I asked and was told yes, it wouldn't be a problem.

Plan accordingly if needed…
Be advised there will not be oil change facilities provided by the MOA at the rally this year. Disposal of the waste oil has become problematic and expensive which has resulted in the discontinuation of this service at the rally.
The above statement is recently communicated on the MOA Facebook offering by
THE Rally Logistics Officer (my provided title).
So it’s nice to have a few terrific and highly recommended
MOTORRAD dealers not so far away, for those in need of services.

Wow …. Very sad to hear that news. I have used the oil change at a few rallies when I was traveling long distances. I have also volunteered at the oil change a few times. But I guess it’s not surprising .

I wonder if it’s a regional thing. Up here in the land of long winters garages and shops of various types gladly accept used motor oil to use in their waste oil heaters. It keeps their shop toasty warm all winter for free

Same thing happened in Springfield I believe.

Yes, no change as of this date.
Pretty sure that once the used oil is out of the bike and moved (transported) by a third party, the Extra Paper Association gets weird about it.
As things evolve (mutate) retailers, especially those that rent/lease their retail location, are restricted from allowing customers to do service work on the retail location.

Back when I used Castrol GTX dino oil I would change our oil at 3,000 to 4,000 miles on trips at small privately owned car repair shops and a few times at Quik Lube places.
I wonder if that's still a option?
Shop owners or managers were always helpful, letting me use a pan and usually gave me rags or gloves.
If it was a slow day they would hang around and visit while I changed the oil.
If they had it, I would buy the oil from them.
I've been to other rallies where there's a guy washing bikes. I got the impression that he's detailing peoples bikes for money. Anyone know about that? How much does he charge, etc?
