Default Shingletown Star Party?

Hello,

I'm trying to decide whether to go to the Shingletown Star Party this year.
Each year, I go to Table Mountain and Oregon Star Party. The weather as
Table Mountain is not particularly reliable, but it's usually fun with all
the people and events. Also Table Mountain is only a two hour drive from
home in the Seattle area, so it's a no-brainer. Oregon is a 400 mile drive,
and it's really dusty, but the skies are spectacular, so I usually look
forward to OSP a bit more than TMSP.

What are the skies like at Shingletown? Is the weather usually favorable?
Is it motorhome-friendly (I always take my wife, kids and our small dog in a
34 foot motorhome)? The schedule for Singletown is perfect. TMSP is during
new moon in July, and OSP is August, so June fits in perfectly. It's a bit
of a long drive, though, so I'm not sure that I can talk my wife into it as
a third star party, unless it's likely to be a very good experience.

Thanks,
-Wade
