S'mores N Amour
S’mores @ Sunset. Kids of all ages welcome.
Toast by Toastmates.
The Pandorica and TARDIS for those Who know.
Sacbe Camp
Since the dawn of time, human kind has always lived close to the earth, in harmony with the magic and mysteries of this little blue planet. Only in recent years have we separated ourselves with walls and highways, buildings that block the sun, shoes that keep our feet from touching the soil. Take us back to our roots! The magic is still there, deep in the jungle and beneath the surface of the playa. We conjure it through ritual, art, music, dance, deep connection and wild celebration.
Sacbe Camp brings this philosophy to Burning Man, which is a ritual of its own. Created in good spirit, and in honor of all things “chido”, Sacbe is a celebration of human potential and a collective conjuring of everything that is magic in the world.
Sacred Cow
Sacred Cow, based out of New York, is an ever-evolving, always surprising camp. In the past, we have fed you (and many artists including the Temple), moooooved you around on the beloved Hajj. Most recently we have made our Sacred Cow Saloon the camp stable and wlil now be adding some tasty beats to the mix. We have always loved you and will provide you with a safe space
to meet kind cowfolk. This year we bring you SHADED DOMES WITH FIRE for your pleasure.
All day erry day and erry night you will have access to a friendly ‘chill’, partially shaded space with Cowpokes there creating a vibe and fire at night. There will be hosted curated Afternoon Saloons on Wed, Thurs, and Sat with Djs and Prosecco on pour. As always, come hang at our pits of fire, have a drank at our Saloon, enjoy popup treats (Princess pizza if you’re lucky!) and music.
Sacred Hare
Welcome to the Sacred Hare, home of Gladys Bright, our pink bunny art car who poops out butterfinger ice cream at sunrise. Come hop in our chill space and take a load off from the hot sun. Enjoy a mister while you’re at it. Welcome to our Sacred Home.
Sacrificial Harem
Do you trust what you see, or is it just a mirage? Find us and escape into a space of refuge and whimsy, get misted in the oasis, or receive your judgment in an IRL version of Am I the Asshole? and be featured on the Wall of Disillusionment.
Safari Social Club
The Safari Social Club invites you to swing by and stay a while at our tropical jungle themed bar. We’re into Brendan Frasier and funk music so come give our wheel of chance a spin and let the good times roll. But there’s always a chance of rain in the jungle so don’t be surprised when our misting system brings the tropics to life!
Sage Camp
Sage Camp is an inclusive collective of feral academics.
Saigon Soul
Our camp members are all Vietnamese-American and comprise mainly of 65+ Vietnam war refugees and some of our 2nd-generation children who were born in the US.
The older members of our camp grew up in Saigon, South VN, during the VN War 1955-1975, when we experienced deaths of relatives, friends, neighbors daily from constant rocket bombings, slept in make-shift at-home bomb shelters nightly, or ran straight into the closest shelters every time we heard warning sirens. The recent horror of war images from Ukraine has brought back painful memories from our past.
In light of the recent world events, we would like to share our culture, survival stories, experiences growing up during the war, life as war refugees, and our harrowing escapes to freedom.
Come hang out with us!

The menu changes daily, and only by trying every soup and meeting every challenge can you hope to attain the level of mad science soup wizard.
Bring your cup to slurp some science soup, your courage to climb the tower of outer perception, your concentration to meditate in the pyramid of inner contemplation, your wits to warm up at the barrel of bygone Burns, and your charm to chill out in the luscious lab of lounging.

Starship Aquarius
In August 2022, Starship Aquarius spotted the lights of the Playa from space and landed. It had been traveling intergalactically, seeking living beings prepared to ascend. The Starship’s crew of Mood Boosters set up camp with a mission: to elevate the vibrations of the denizens of Black Rock City.
The idea with Starship Aquarius is to be a part of the journey, not a destination itself — we don’t try to keep people in, but rather give them what they need to have their vibrations elevated and then return to the rest of their day or night. For some, this is just a 5 minute dance session. For others, it might be an hour-long series starting with arts and crafts and ending with journaling. Whatever you need to get a boost, the Starship supports.
Start to Finish
Camp Start to Finish is an all-inclusive interactive zero distance endurance racing camp where participants, spectators, and passers-by give in to our fun spirited peer-pressure and take place in a made up NO distance running, walking, or cycling race that begins and ends on the same Start/Finish line.

You don’t want to miss it!
Stay the Fuck at Home
Biggest Little Bar on Playa
Steam 16
In Kurt Vonnegut’s ‘Cat’s Cradle’, written after the crisis there is a substance called Ice-nine: a form of ice that can turn all water it comes in contact with into ice, a metaphor of weapons of mass destruction and broader of existential dangers of technology misapplied.
So we come up artistically with a new substance called ‘Steam-16’, which is a touch of free spirit, a liberating experience, a message contained in itself – of the human and communal rebirth. Steam-16 is what we can come in contact with, what we can catalyze within ourselves and propagate into expanding communal circles. It’s precious, elusive, and only available once the danger is imminent – an antithesis to the Ice-9, of a sorts. As much as Ice-9 freezes – Steam-16 elevates, cleans and connects.
Steam Bath Project
Using the ages old system of thermal siphoning we use the Japanese Chofu stove to create and circulate the steam in an insulation and wood tongue and groove dome. In the past we have been interviewed by the Earth Guardians for our economical use of water. We use less than .25 of a gallon of water per steamer and which offer a completely different option to showering on the playa. We have a double sub pump system that drains into our village grey water system which is pumped out. We are part of a Nectar village which is completely solar run. As a camp we participate in a with other camps for kitchen and infrastructure needs.

From the moment someone spots Suburbia, they will see a typical suburban neighborhood, but the with Burning Man principles close to heart.
