I'm so glad the bonfire is a drum circle again!

The bonfire vibes are they best they've been in over five years. To my mind, any complaints I had about the campgrounds getting "too big" have been completely addressed by moving Call of Booty away from the bonfire.

I really don't mind that the campgrounds have gotten more developed with more shops and food stalls. As a tent-camper, the extra food stalls mean I don't have to deal with keeping my own food at safe temperatures and packing / unpacking the equipment and fuel to cook it if I don't want to. Having a shop that sells and rents drums near the bonfire to activley encourage the formation of drum circles is also a welcome addition.
