Looking for some late night entertainment?

If you’re planning to spend a night in the wilderness stargazing this new list from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is a must see.

Most of them are isolated locations in parks and reserves, shielded from light pollution and ideally situated at higher altitudes.

One of the first recommended spots is Garibaldi Provincial Park between Vancouver and Whistler. 

According to the CSA, the park's high altitude and low light pollution make it an excellent stargazing spot for adventurers, nature lovers and amateur astronomers alike.

Garibaldi Provincial Park is also a great spot to some hiking in B.C.'s beautiful wilderness. 

Another potential road trip for stargazers in Western Canada is to Jasper National Park, Alberta, which features one of the world's largest dark-sky preserves.

According to CSA, the park's very low light pollution and recurrent northern lights make it an ideal spot for amateur astronomy. There's also the Jasper Planetarium and the Dark Sky Festival which is held annually in October.

Here are the rest of the CSA's top spots for stargazers: 

• Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan

• Whiteshell Provincial Park, Manitoba

• Charleston Lake Provincial Park, Ontario

• Mont-Mégantic International Dark-Sky Reserve, Quebec

• Torngat Mountains National Park, Newfoundland

• Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park, New Brunswick

• Prince Edward Island National Park (incl. Cavendish Beach), PEI

• Kejimkujik National Park, Nova Scotia

• Iqaluit, Nunavut

• Wood Buffalo National Park, Northwest Territories

• Watson Lake, Yukon

With these amazing spots, stargazers are sure to spot something in the sky, however, for those interested in understanding a bit more behind what's going on up there, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada provides helpful weekly updates on what’s happening in the night sky.

The CSA has also provided a couple tips for to maximize you stargazing experience: 

• Stay bundled up. There’s nothing worse than having your stargazing interrupted because you need to dash back to the warmth of a campfire or cottage. Blankets and even warm drinks can keep you toasty on cool summer nights.
• Wait until the sun is well and truly set and astronomical twilight or full night has started. The further north you go right now, the longer the days, so check local sunrise/sunset times.
• Check the weather in advance. Cloudy nights are obviously not ideal for stargazing. Consult satellite images and other information provided by Environment Canada for local forecasts.
• If you really want to focus on the stars, plan to head out during a crescent or new moon. The moon’s brightness can be enough to obscure fainter stars or other stellar objects.
