Whether you come for a day or spend the entire weekend, attend by yourself or bring your crew, we have options
Several locations on the PARI site are set aside for tent camping. They are level areas where grass is kept mowed. Our pond-side camp sites are centrally located, have access to a fire pit, and are adjacent to indoor restroom facilities. Our ridge top camping sites are on the north side of campus and further from the central campus. They do not have a fire pit nearby and are further from indoor restroom facilities.
PARI also has several parking areas where a camper or RV can park. But, there are no power, water, or waste hookups for these vehicles.
Our dormitory buildings are best for those who want to immerse themselves in the community of the star party. Dorm rooms have bunk beds and sleep from 4 to 8 people, you must bring your own sheets, pillows, and towels. If you are part of a group we will attempt to put all members of your group together in the same room and dedicate that room to your group if possible, but dorm rooms may be shared with people not in your party. Restrooms and shower rooms are shared between all people staying in the same dorm building.
Our cabins provide lodging that is comfortable, private, and full of amenities. Your party will have their own private room and bathroom in one of our spacious and well appointed cabins. Most cabin rooms have a combination of queen sized beds and twin sized bunk beds and all are individually climate controlled. Some rooms can sleep up to eight people, we’ll put you in a room sized appropriately for your party. Cabin rooms have sheets and towels provided and each have a mini-fridge, microwave, and keurig-style coffee maker. Read more about the cabins here.
