Oregon Star Party Cancelled
We are very sorry to hear of the cancellation of the Oregon Star Party. It's a true gut-punch to the OSP Committee and their attendees to have to cancel so close to their event.
On-Site Registration will be available.
We have received several inquiries from people who had planned to go to OSP if it would be possible to join us. We will have ample room to take on anyone who wishes to register on-site with us this year.
In light of the extenuating circumstances, WE WILL BE WAIVING THE $25 GROUP SURCHARGE FOR ALL ON-SITE REGISTRATIONS.
Please ignore any references on this website regarding the Group Surcharge for On-Site registrations for 2024. Standard registration rates will apply for all.
Please remember that a Washington Discover Pass is required for the Jameson Lake location. Please read the Rules & Regulations Page for info.
Updates as of 7-25-24:
- Food Service -
We will have a Food Vendor for this year: Todo Rico Catering. This is a Mexican food truck but they will also offer standard fare of burgers and hot dogs, as well as other snack foods. There are no pre-ordered meals available.
- Potable Water -
We have not found a cost-effective way of providing potable water to our attendees. Please plan on bringing whatever potable water you may need for the event. We may have a very limited supply of potable water available to those who get caught short, but please plan on having what you need or on making a trip to Coulee City or Ephrata to get water if you need it.
- Staking Your Gear -
Please bring sturdy stakes to secure down your tents, canopies, awnings or other items. We would recommend what's referred to as "gutter spikes" (check your well-stocked hardware store - they're like supersized nails) but these may not fit some loops or holes found in the anchor points of your equipment. The best option that should suffice is something like this 
that you can find in sporting goods stores or on Amazon. Normal "hook" tent stakes may be adequate if they are long, beefy and made of steel.
Aluminum or plastic stakes are NOT recommended.
New Event Location!!
We're excited to announce that we're moving to Jameson Lake for the 2024 event.
Jameson Lake is located aprroximately 30 miles north of Ephrata, west of Coulee City. This location moves us significantly closer to the Puget Sound base of our attendees and shortens the drive by several hours. More information is on the Directions Page.
There are many changes that the new location will entail for our attendees in 2024, so please read through the updated information here on the website.
Most impotrantly, a Washington Discover Pass is required to use the Jameson Lake location by our attendees. We will not be able to provide passes on-site nor does your registration waive the requirement. Please read the updated information on the Rules & Regulations Page to learn more about the Discover Pass requirement.
