Registration Information

This year registration fees have been eliminated. To access the Gatewood Campground you will need two things. A "Year Long Star Party" registration card and a combination code for the lock on the gate. To get your registration card:

• If you are not a NOVAC member: visit this page to create a username and password for access to the Spruce Knob registration card.
• If you are a NOVAC member, please visit this page to add Spruce Knob registration to your membership. You'll need to have an individual username and password to do this (not the generic "novac" username). If you haven't yet signed up for an individual username, you may do so here, then return to this page in order to activate Spruce Knob registration.

Once registered, you can print out the registration card and put it in your wallet. Once on the registration list, the Gatewood combination will be emailed to you each month.

Gatewood is a limited access camping area that has been reserved on the nights listed in the schedule.  There is a locked gate at the entrance and it remains locked during the event.  Important note: make sure you have the gate combination before leaving for the star party!

There will not be anyone at the gate . . . you will have to let yourself in!
