Description

Spend a night under the stars during the Perseids meteor shower at Aldergrove Regional Park. Tent camping takes place on a large, open, grass field close to other campers, creating a shared stargazing experience.

Stay by your tent to stargaze or take part in Meteor Shower Watch—an event included in your camping registration.

Important: There is no on-site event parking. A free shuttle will take you to and from the Meteor Shower Watch event. Only tents are allowed. RV camping is not permitted.

Meteor Shower Event:

Explore the Perseids meteor shower and other mysteries of the night sky. Chat with space enthusiasts whose telescopes will be aimed at the skies. Continue your space odyssey with a unique planet walk on lantern-lit trails, and enjoy activities including blacklight skits. Bring a blanket to lay back on and watch “shooting stars” and learn how to find constellations. Camp overnight to extend your stargazing experience.

Please leave pets at home.


$40 per tent for camping. (The camping registration cost includes your opportunity to camp, event entry and a shuttle ride to and from the Meteor Shower Watch event.)
