Unknown Perception Campout 2025 – Aug 15/17 – Big Bear

On August 15th-17th weekend we invite you to step outside the city and into a sacred weekend surrounded by pine forest, star-lit sky, psychedelic music, and community.

For three days and two nights, Unknown Perception debuts in the mountains, in a fully-permitted campground above Big Bear Lake spanning 160 acres of raw wilderness, to create a space where deep, hypnotic techno meets nature’s own rhythm. One stage. Nearly non-stop music. Powered by Funktion One.

This is not just a rave. It’s a call to reconnect: with yourself, with others, with the Earth.

No distractions. No pretenses. Just you, the sound, and the elements.

All tickets include camping (tents only – no RVs, motorhomes or vans)

Parking passes required for each vehicle and available as add-ons

On-site shared and private cabin options available for crews looking for an alternative experience to camping

Showers on-site. Free water stations. BYOB.

The lineup drops, Thursday, May 15th, at 10am PST, but the voyage starts now!
