The experience
What's special
Nightmare Festival is a small, Halloween-themed EDM camping festival held in the woods at Camp Ramblewood in Darlington, Maryland. Recent editions have spread three days of dubstep, bass, house and drum & bass across three decorated stages held in a barn, a warehouse and an outdoor stage alongside haunted walk-throughs, a nightly laser show, a costume pageant and activities such as a gaming lounge, fire spinning and hooping. Camping in the surrounding woods is included with the ticket
What people love
Attendees repeatedly praise the intimate, woodland Halloween atmosphere and the effort put into decorations and costumed actors, and describe the venue and vibe warmly. Many also note the organizer's harm-reduction approach, with on-site substance testing and readily available medics. The most common complaint is the weather: fall editions can turn cold, rainy and muddy, and attendees advise packing warm layers and trash bags
Last time around
Recent editions ran across three stages a barn, a warehouse and an outdoor stage in the secluded woods of Camp Ramblewood, with cabins and campsites for lodging. Attendees describe good sound and a solid, friendly (and notably young) crowd, with cold and muddy conditions in some years being the main drawback
