About the Experience
Overview
Join us car camping and stargazing at Cherry Springs State Park. Cherry Springs, named for a large stand of Black Cherry trees in the park, is atop the dissected Allegheny Plateau at an elevation of 2,300 feet (701 m). It is popular with astronomers and stargazers for having "some of the darkest night skies on the east coast" of the United States. Come enjoy a fun evening of camping, campfire stories, dinner, and stargazing with us.
Location
We'll first meet at our Basecamp on Bucknell's campus. From there we'll commute over to Cherry Springs State Park.
