OSP RULES
In order to make everyone’s time here safe and comfortable, we ask participants to review and respect the rules for this event. Oregon Star Party is located on Forest Service lands, all attendees, vendors, volunteers need to adhere to conditions for use. The hill and prairie that the site is located on is treeless, so there is limited shade. It can be hot during the day (sometimes up in the low 100’s) and mild to cold during the night. However, there have been monsoon type downpours, lightning, and dust devils powerful enough to lift tents, canopies, ice chests and telescopes.
Fire safety is our #1 concern. In addition to the USFS Rules, OSP requires that everyone must adhere to the following:
