A lot better then Wakarusa, but it is not like going to church.

More detail. I've gone the last four years, and will go this year.

Expect 5-10k people. Vendor will be selling glass instruments for smoking "pipe tobacco." At each venue, expect people to be using those glass instruments. However, unlike Waka, because there are fewer people, there is plenty of space to distance yourself from those people. I don't think that I have ever seen any nudity, but if the weather is nice/warm someone may decide to paint their chest. There is plenty of beer/wine drinking. I see a whole lot more families at this event compared to Waka.

I can't speak for camping in General Admission because I have always worked these shows and stay in the volunteer camping area. Not sure what goes on at night in GA. If you are staying sober (forget about camping on Mulberry Mountain and drive the 5miles Redding Campground on the Mulberry (private spots, toilets, showers, swimming hole, etc.)

All an all it is a real laid back atmosphere.
