BuddySOS for Electric Forest
Electric Forest campers keep their group visible across the Double JJ Resort grounds with BuddySOS, free on iOS and Android, plus a one-tap SOS.
Why a festival app for Electric Forest?
Electric Forest is a four-night camping festival in rural Michigan with a uniquely forested, dimly-lit layout. The 'Forest' itself is intentionally maze-like with art installations and hidden stages, beautiful and easy to get lost in with a group. BuddySOS keeps the group on one shared map when the trees and lighting work against you.
Electric Forest's footprint is the wooded section of the Double JJ Resort plus campgrounds. The Forest portion is intentionally maze-like at night, and the festival's vibe encourages wandering, which is exactly where a live group map earns its keep.
How BuddySOS helps at Electric Forest
- Live GPS pins cut through the Forest's maze at 2am, when the trees and the lighting are working against you.
- A one-tap SOS calls your buddy to come find you the moment you have wandered too deep in.
- The map is visible inside your group only, and Battery Saver Mode keeps your phone alive for all four nights.
Questions about BuddySOS at Electric Forest
Will BuddySOS work in the Forest at night?
Yes. The BuddySOS group map is readable in low light so you can use it without blinding yourself or your group. Rural Michigan cell coverage is weak in spots. Pair the app with a clear meeting plan as a low-tech backup.
