No. More stars than you can dream about was an island on a lake in Indonesia 30 years ago. The closest light source was a 100w bulb 6 miles away. There did not appear to be any other light source to the horizon. I've never seen anything like it and there are probably few places left in the world so devoid of artificial light to experience it now.

It was actually a bit scary going outside--I felt like I was being crushed by all the stars.
