What you need to know
Electric Forest is a camping festival to its core: four days of electronic and jam music at the Double JJ Resort in Rothbury, Michigan, built around the illuminated Sherwood Forest that gives the event its name. It has typically run on a late-June weekend; 2027 dates and the lineup are announced by the festival, usually the preceding fall or winter. RV camping is a first-class citizen here — the festival sells dedicated RV passes with and without hookups, and those tiers historically sell out fast after the initial on-sale, often before the lineup is even public. That means the booking order matters: festival RV pass first, rig second, and match the rig's length to your pass class since the festival enforces size limits by tier. Late June is high season in western Michigan, so rigs from the Grand Rapids market book 10-12 weeks out. Pack for both heat and rain — Michigan June delivers either without warning.

Safety + legal
Multi-day festival camping in June heat: hydration discipline, shade structure, and a meeting plan for your group. Follow the festival's current rules on generators and quiet hours by camping tier.
Insider tip — what you won't find elsewhere
Hookup RV passes are the scarcest ticket the festival sells — set an on-sale alarm. If you miss them, a rig with strong batteries plus the festival's water services covers a comfortable dry-camp weekend.
