My husband and I and our friends went here on the 28th of Sept. and had a great time. The stars were wonderful, the weather was nice, bathrooms were pristine, and the rangers were friendly. Only hiccup was the dew point! Never experienced that before but even that was cool, even if it was a bit inconvenient. There is a pavilion at the astronomy observation area that has two grills and some extra firewood left behind by others who have stayed here, the fire does need to be put out an hour before nightfall though. Forgot to take a pic of the concrete pad set up but there are 120V receptacles, comfortably fits a dobsonian telescope.

I stayed in the overnight astronomy field. It's a wonderful place for serious stargazing. Zero white light, clean restrooms, available power, all under Bortle 2 skies. Have I seen darker skies? Sure, but these skies are the best when you consider all the available amenities and the wide open space all within driving distance.

Love love love this state park. Spacious sites and close general store for wood and provisions if needed. Make reservations as there are only 32 sites. Bring warm clothing, summer nights are even cold. Don’t forget your headlamp/red flashlight. Keep that light pollution out! And enjoy the stars. Pro tip… go to bed at 930p and get up 2-4am for the most magnificent night sky!

I only visited the public viewing area but it was great. It's so dark You can see the Milky way. They renovated to public viewing area made the parking better added EV chargers for people that need them. And there's so many other great things near by. Also if you go at certain times of the month the park rangers will walk you through the night sky and tell you the stories behind the constellations.

500,000 acres of wilderness......Also an excellent view of the celestial bodies in the night sky with naked eye. I was told "A picture doesn't really capture what you actually see while standing there in person." They were absolutely correct.
