Forest Camping vs Lumni Forest Camping Sept 1, 2017 12:41:01 GMT -5

This year was my first time with a forest camping pass (had car camped previously) and I loved it. It felt like a little village in the woods and had a great vibe.

I'm curious if any of you stayed in the Lumni forest camping area or have heard anything about it? I'm guessing this will be an option I will need to consider for next year.
By looking at the map I do see that Lumnit was much farther from everything with the exception of being a lot closer to the Garcia's Forest area.

Thanks!

I would be lying if I told you that Lumni Forest was:

Overcrowded

Uneven

Not hammock friendly
Too far from stages
Too far from car
Not new enough
Bad neighbors

Also Half priced shade is overrated

I'm assuming you meant to say "I would be lying if I told you that Lumni Forest wasn't:"

Sounds like I'll be avoiding Lumni camping, thanks for the info.

this is worded correctly.

there was a ridiculous amount of room for each camp and even between camps
the ground was flat
could put a hammock almost anywhere
my car was a 20 second walk from my spot
it was totally new? lol, i have no idea where he's going with that one
everyone in there that we met was totally chill. they were lumni and just there to have a good time
the shade was amazing. ask anyone that tried to find me on thursday. i literally got woken up from a nap by 3 different people IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. slept late every day. was amazing.

ya'll totally missed newbn's sense of humor, haha. i got to hang with him plenty this weekend. really great guy. was happy to have him as my neighbor. lobster was ok, too.

edit: yes, we were about as far as you could get from the venue. that ten minute walk was really awful, i tells ya
