Meeting and hanging out with our camping neighbors was a highlight of the weekend. It was fairly easy to walk from stage to stage inside the venue, although it felt slightly crowded this year due to people spreading themselves out more for space.Ĭamping this year was a huge plus, as entering and leaving the venue both days can take a while and the campgrounds had plenty to offer. We’re very glad we wore comfortable walking shoes to this event as it can be long and uphill at times. Seeing the lights, flags and music in the background filled us with excitement and eagerness to get in and start dancing.

There was also a nearby wildfire recently which may have added to the dust. Dust was one of the only complaints we had, but this was really out of Insomniac’s control as this year was one of the driest in California’s history. Once parked, there was a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the venue. The drive to Glen Helen is always hit-or-miss with traffic, and luckily we got there early because there was an accident on the one road into the venue on Saturday. This review is written from the perspective of someone’s third time attending Nocturnal in a row (minus the 2020 hiatus), so some comparisons to previous years will be made.
