I was just in Mitzpe Ramon, IL with my family on a moonless weekend night. It is supposed to be the darkest point in Israel. The viewing was fairly good that night.
And yet my kids were disappointed upon seeing the Milky Way. They'd expected it to look like what they've seen in pictures, like shown in this NPR article on the subject:

I'd even forewarned them not to expect the night sky to look like it does in photos they've seen of it. :-(
