One of the easiest and most un-biased ways to measure sky darkness is with a Sky Quality Meter made by Unihedron. I used mine extensively while searching for observing sites and it was very helpful.

An SQM reading around 22.0 is about as dark as the sky can get. Under those conditions Uranus is an easy naked eye object as an example.
