I spent last week with our Boy Scout troop at summer camp (Camp Winton). The elevation was 5,876 feet and extremely far away from light sources. The nights were cloudless, there was no Moon, and we had 360-degree visibility.

The scouts that took the Astronomy merit badge were invited to look at the night sky on Wednesday night, from 9:45 pm to 10:15 pm. Other scouts and interested adults (like me) were also invited.
