The Electric Forest camping debate on Reddit has clarified a common misconception: the festival’s RV camping spots are strictly for RVs only, with no allowance for multiple tents or large groups sprawling around one RV space.
Seasoned attendees and official guidelines agree — trying to cram 10-12 people under several tents clustered around one RV rental spot isn’t just impractical, it’s against festival rules. Each RV spot is sized and priced for a single RV, not a multi-tent setup or a mini village.
- RV spots: Reserved exclusively for RVs, no tents allowed. Renting an RV spot just to create a bigger tent campground violates festival policy.
- General Admission camping: Campsites here typically fit 1-2 tents with space for a sedan and a small living area, ideally suited for 2-4 people.
- Group Camping: For larger groups wanting to stick together, EF offers Group Camping for 20+ attendees. This is the legit way to camp as a large crew without risking rules infractions.
Trying to bypass these policies not only risks your comfort but can cause logistical headaches and potential loss of camping privileges. With RV spots within 100+ miles already sold out, large groups should plan ahead by securing Group Camping slots or booking multiple adjacent GA campsites.
Pro tip: Avoid scrambling onsite. Know your campground’s rules, honor occupancy limits, and camp smart to keep the Electric Forest vibes positive and hassle-free. Source: r/electricforest
