A Unique Stargazing Experience

2025 Dates On Sale Now!

Round up your group for a unique stargazing experience featuring a huge telescope operated for you by our host… hot tub… SHIFTPOD accommodations with padded cots, power stations, and galaxy lamps… SOUNDBOKS for your music-playing needs… huge grill and flat top griddle for your cooking needs… 24 foot redwood bar… pool table… giant chess set… amazing views of the Eastern Sierra… and more!

“Group” visits are for any sized group of up to 16 people

Use the calendar below to view the available dates. Please note that “Moonlit” Group nights are the same as regular Group nights, but land on nights when the moon is present in the sky, and so the moonlight drowns out some of the stargazing. That being said, the moon itself is pretty awesome to look at through the telescope!

When you book a group stay, your group will be the only one for that night and you’ll have the place to yourselves (the host/telescope operator will be on hand, too). For a more detailed description of what to expect when visiting, please read this article and/or check out our FAQ.

If you just want to book a party of one or two and not a whole group…

We typically only book the whole place out to groups of up to 16 just because there is only one hot tub, one kitchen, one sound system, etc., so it’s a better experience if everyone is on the same page so to speak. If you’re looking to book a visit for a party of one or two, etc., please consider our Death Valley Starcamp (separate location), or other larger Meteor Shower Parties and Dark Sky Festivals on our Events page.

 

Bring up to 16 People in up to EIGHT SHIFTPODs for $1595/night for moonlit nights & $1695/night for dark sky nights!

PRICE IS FOR YOUR ENTIRE GROUP — NOT PER PERSON
