Join us for observing sessions at Black Butte Lake. From time to time we will reserve the exclusive large group use area in the Buckhorn campground at Black Butte Lake, near Orland, California. We'll have a paved parking area big enough for a dozen or more RVs. Telescopes can be set up next to the RVs. There are tent-camping sites as well, and lots of open space.
Black Butte Lake is the perfect place for a star party. The skies are dark and comparable to Shingletown or Adin. HOW DARK IS IT- REALLY? Access is easy and the roads are excellent. Camping and RV sites are clean and spacious. Water, restrooms, hot showers, an on-site dump station, wildlife and cooperative rangers all will contribute to a comfortable and pleasant stay. All lights will be controlled by the park rangers in the campground, so light pollution will be at a minimum.
Few places in California combine such pastoral character with dark skies and comfortable camping. And in spring, the rolling oak foothills will be carpeted with green grass.
Because of limits on the number of people and vehicles, this star party is private. Attendance is by invitation only! HOW CAN I GET INVITED?
