Yes, only Friday thru Tuesday.  We are hoping to open 20 self-contained RV spaces in the gravel parking lot of our community center for the eclipse weekend.  Central Oregon is expecting ~ 600K people for this event and every spare piece of land is being used for dry camping sites.  If we find a camp host, we will be able to do this, otherwise not. The host's space will, of course, be gratis.  Since this is a fundraiser for our non profit Center, we are unable to compensate.  

There are no hookups, no dumping, no water, no electricity, etc.  That's why we are not permitting tents and are requiring self-contained units only, and due to the volatile nature of our area for summer fires, we are not permitting open fires, fireworks, firearms, etc.  Vehicles must park on the gravel, not out in the field.  The area is rural, quiet, without much traffic or noise and there is a fire station on the south and one neighbor on the north. Contrary to some of the larger venues in Central Oregon who are having festivals, etc., we will not be having any activities at our site. Perhaps an ideal site for families or us older folks who like peace and quiet and don't want to be in the middle of a huge crowd.  If you have an interest, email  events@pb-center.com and I can email you an application form.   Thanks for your inquiry.

What an awesome experience for some lucky person! A prime spot for the eclipse and sounds like a fun community.

Thank you, we are hoping someone will be interested.  Powell Butte is a tiny community, but minutes away from Bend, OR, Mount Bachelor, lots of lakes and water sports, Smith Rock State Park for climbing experiences, etc.   A lot to offer here.
