It’s a Pop-Up Camp for the Solar Eclipse, and You’re Invited

A comfy seat for the solar event of the century

As you definitely heard, there’s a total solar eclipse hitting our land next month.

Shame you might not gonna see it — thanks to some price-gouging hotels.

Thankfully, mattress gurus Casper have set up a eclipse viewing party/pop-up camp in Casper, Wyoming called (wait for it) Camp Casper.

The all-inclusive experience, starting August 20th, features accommodations outfitted with Casper mattresses, sheets, and pillows, safari-style canvas tents via Under Canvas, movie screenings courtesy of Alamo Drafthouse, and bouts of flashlight tag and morning yoga from Outdoor Voices. Plus, meals, special viewing glasses and a “spacey soundtrack” during the eclipse itself. (Airfare is up to you, though.)

The eclipse takes place the morning of August 21, and reservations ($499) are available here. Tickets will refresh on a rolling basis.
