Reply to comment by potential1 in "nearby" area to camp with minimal light pollution? by potential1
Tip: I like to head out that way once a year for stargazing and getting a reservation at Cherry Springs can be very difficult. You want to go during a New Moon to maximize darkness and all their camping sites are booked during the New Moon through the summer already. I think they allow you to make reservations 11 months in advance. I've stayed at Ole Bull and Leonard Harrison and enjoyed the views from there. While staying at those sites, there were quite a few people who would set up camp there and then make the 15-20 minute drive to Cherry Springs at night to do the stargazing and then come back after. Definitely worth it!
