Yellow Observing Field

This field is reserved for AHSP attendees who would like to keep their vehicle adjacent to their campsite and equipment. Small trailers are OK on the Yellow Observing Field, but larger vehicles should select the Green Observing Field (see below).

Green Observing Field

The Green Observing Field is intended for RVs larger than 14 feet. Please be advised that there are no electrical hookups at this site.

Red Observing Field

The Red Observing Field is accessible by car, but we will ask you to drop your gear and move your car to a nearby long-term parking for the duration of the event. In return for this minor inconvenience, you'll enjoy great southern horizons and a breathtaking view in the daytime.
