Location Information

  • Billy Dodd Observing Field
  • 5450 NW 52 Ct, Chiefland, FL, 32626 US

We have tent sites and two sizes of RV sites available: Tent sites are about 25 x 25 feet. Regular RV sites are about 25 x 35 feet and large RV sites are about 30 x 45 feet. We will have proper bathrooms (flushable toilets with sinks and A/C) and showers with warm water on the observing field.  There will be limited electric power available for the site. We expect to provide all RV sites with 120 V and 30 or 15 Amp outlets and hope to provide 120 V / 15 Amp (regular household outlet) for the tent sites for small powered devices such as telescope mounts and cameras. We cannot guarantee that we have sufficient power for all sites and recommend you bring a battery to operate your equipment.

Weather Contingency Policy: While we hope for clear skies, fall in Florida can bring unpredictable weather, including hurricanes. In the unlikely event that a hurricane forces us to postpone Astrofest, the event will be rescheduled for the next new moon week, December 3–9. All registrations will automatically transfer to the new dates. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled event, we will refund your ticket cost minus a $20 fee to cover registration expenses.
