I used Perplexity.ai to
obtain a listing (see the above link).

Interestingly, there are no NPS units certified in Oregon and only two in California. This is in contrast to the very large number of NPS units certified as International Dark Sky Places in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.

An update: In 2024, Oregon Caves National Monument was certified by Dark Sky International as Oregon’s only (at present) International Dark Sky Park.
