We're sorry. This event is no longer available, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Join park staff for a campout where you can view the stars and watch the Perseids Meteor Shower! This event will allow you to car camp or sleep in a tent in designated areas. You must provide all camping gear and food. The park will provide a fire pit and s'mores that evening. It is recommended that you bring a camp chair to view the meteor shower! Feel free to bring binoculars or a telescope to view the meteor showers. You are welcome to view them all night as long as you are quiet after 11 PM.
There are two other hikes and a viewing party for the Perseids meteor shower. Please review what is being offered before deciding what you would like to do. If you are camping and want to do the 5.7-mile hike to Window Cliffs, you must register for both events. The .7 mile hike will be included if you want to attend. Both Hikes start at 7:30 PM.
The gates typically close at 5 PM at Window Cliffs State Natural Area. There will be park staff there at 6 PM to open the gates if you have signed up for an event. They will instruct you where to set up camp depending on your camping method. Both hikes start at 7:30 PM.
*** Alcohol is not permitted while camping. Camping gear needs to be set up before hiking the trail the next day, if you choose to do so.
