On August 21st, 2017 at approximately 10:19 a.m., the moon will pass in front of the sun casting the small Central Oregon town of Madras into complete darkness for over two minutes. 

Labeled "The Great American Eclipse" and "The National Eclipse, the worlds greatest natural phenomenon will be the first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse in America since 1918.  Entering Oregon and exiting in South Carolina, most of the Continental United States will be able to partially see the 2017 eclipse.   However, to fully experience total darkness  you must be within a 67 mile band of the shadow.  

The difference between seeing the eclipse from within this band and outside of it is truly "Night & Day"

Join us at the center line of Totality in Madras, Oregon and experience the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse.   
From glamping, heli tours, hot air balloon rides, entertainment, food and beverage, adventure, science, kids fun, and  of course a natural phenomenon.... we have the adventure for you! BUY YOUR TICKETS HERE!

Bring your tents, trailers, vans to set-up together in our own fancy fun camp and glamp with us in style!  We will have a couple shade structures up, one for group dining, and one for the Boomerang bar for us all to share together!  

We will have our own swanky fun 
Leopard Lounge Camp at: Solartown Campground

Bring something over to the Leopard Lounge dining buffet table to share!  If you don't bring your own camp kitchen to cook, THERE IS A FOOD COURT THERE AT THE FESTIVAL! We have such a big group coming that we decided to not do a potluck night.  You are welcome to cook and share whatever you would like at your leisure. 

This is a one in a lifetime event!  There is no water or electrical provided at Solarfest in the tent area, but we are glamorous campers!  We will have our own quiet Honda generator for lights at night, cell phone charging table and if you need to use a CPAP machine, you can plug in if you bring a very long extension cord.


They provide coin-op nice air conditioned hot showers, and clean porta johns.  Water and ice will be for sale there as well.


We will have an epic fun music filled camp to frolic at that will be as much fun as the festival.

BRING YOUR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS FOR LIVE CAMP JAMS!

Everyone buys their own tickets from the Oregon Solarfest Website the Glamp-O-Rama organizer will get there on the first day to secure us a sweet spot. People can set up their camp anywhere they want, but it's way more fun to be together. THERE IS NO FEE TO CAMP WITH THE Glamp-O-Rama Group.




It is tent, van or Dry RV camping only in our camp for this adventure.  All camping spots are assigned upon arrival only. To camp with our group, please send a pdf of your 5 day camping pass to Tré Taylor so we can scan all of our tickets together at the gate upon arrival.

The first total solar eclipse touching the continental United States since 1979 touches down on the Oregon coast between Lincoln City and Newport at 10:15 a.m. PDT. Before Oregon, the shadow of the Moon (umbra) does not touch any other landmass or island before Oregon.

Oregon will be one of the most popular states to view the eclipse. While the rest of the United States offers a longer duration of totality, sections of the eclipse path in Oregon offers the best weather prospects anywhere along the entire eclipse path.


Two major viewing parties are being organized in Oregon. The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) has announced a viewing event at the state fairgrounds in Salem, see www.omsi.edu/eclipse-2017 for details. Another event, the Oregon SOLARFEST is being held in Madras, Oregon. See www.oregonsolarfest.com for information.
