On the afternoon of Monday, April 8, 2024, a rare astronomical event will take place across the U.S. The moon will pass in front of the sun, creating a total solar eclipse visible along a 115-mile-wide path stretching from Texas to Maine and beyond into Canada.
This once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon won’t happen in this much of North America again until 2045, meaning thousands of nature enthusiasts are planning to flock to parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and eastern Canada to see the famed total eclipse in April. This is an incredible opportunity for Hipcamp Hosts in areas along the path, who can earn money hosting these campers over Monday, April 8! To create a magical experience for eclipse campers on your land, check out our top tips below.
