Camping
Our vision of Future Forest is the integration of nature, and one of the inspirations that led to the creation of it was that most music festivals do not offer camping under trees. Trees provide a canopy that offers shade, allowing attendees to rest at any time after late nights, as well as a connection with nature and the surroundings.
Due to our commitment to preserving nature and providing this experience, camping is considered “backwoods.”
What to expect with backwoods camping:
Searching for a campsite
Participants can expect to look for a campsite. This may be something you would like to do before unpacking your gear.
Preparing your campsites
You may need to remove sticks or debris.
Personalizing your campsite
We encourage the personalization of your campsite using natural materials in your surroundings.
Pack in, pack out; please remove any string or material when leaving.

Stages
Mushroom Stage
Located between four towering white pine trees, this stage is set on a terraced slope bolstered by a natural retaining wall, creating a unique amphitheatre ambiance. On the lower tier, attendees can get a close-up view of the performers while feeling the powerful vibrations from the PK sound system. The upper tier provides a panoramic view and plenty of space to dance. Nearby, platforms, swings, and hammocks offer relaxing spots to enjoy the tunes. Designed to resemble a mushroom, the stage is themed accordingly. Performance platforms flank either side of the stage, showcasing diverse talents (details available here). At night, dynamic video mapping illuminates the stage.
Prism Stage
Discover the mesmerizing world of the Prism Stage at Future Forest. This stage is not just a performance space; it’s a portal to the future. With its dazzling blend of geometric shapes, vibrant colours, and immersive soundscapes, the Prism Stage promises an unforgettable experience. Centrally located between the food and artisan vendors, perched on a scenic cliff overlooking the river, it’s a visual masterpiece designed to resemble the iconic Future Forest logo.

Nest Stage
Down by Little River, nestled in the heart of the forest, participants are welcomed by the ever changing canopy of vibrant designs by @lunosol, while immersing themselves in sounds of birdsong, the bubbling of water, and thrum of melodic beats on the state-of-the-art Void sound system. A great space to relax, attendees who wish to take a break from the dance floor can find themselves suspended in a hammock, cooling off in the river, or forging new connections around our communal fire pit. Individuals who wish to expand their consciousness can also visit the art gallery, sit in on a morning yoga class, or check out our diverse showcase of body-positive burlesque performers.
