John was an amazing host! We had a great night under the stars. Great company in a beautiful setting. Way more of a great experience than I was expecting. We will be back next summer!!

Observatory at South Park!
Great host with easy directions to the site. Kids enjoyed the first camping experience and all the instruction that John was able to provide about the night sky. Will be back!

My family & I loved camping at John’s spot! He was very accommodating to us and generous. We could see the entire sky, and looked at stars & planets through his telescope, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about stars and space! The camping spot was perfect for our rooftop tent, as we were pretty close to the other campers. The facility onsite was very clean and well maintained. We will definitely be booking again for meteor showers and solar events!

Wide open land to camp on. Beautiful view of the mountains. Port o potty available to use. John was a great host and taught us so much about astronomy while there!

Camping on John’s land was wonderful, with great views of the valley and better views of the stars at night. He was patient and shared what he knew about constellations every night. The tent sites are fairly close together, but we had absolutely no issues with anybody during our time there.

My friends and I tent camped at John’s property and WOW! Not only is John incredibly knowledgeable about astronomy but he truly cares about his guests. John made us feel welcome and included every night. And in one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, John chased down our canopy tent TWICE to help us stake it down better in the wind. (Thank you again!)
Both nights we stayed were close to New Moon nights, so the opportunity to see stars and the Milky Way was the best it could be! Everyone gathered at the fire pit every night to chat before our “lesson” with John. We saw star clusters, Saturn and some of its moons, nebulas and more. Our last night we even got to hear some coyotes howling :)
Don’t skip this opportunity! John is fantastic host and this was our best camping experience!
