TaoSpace

TaoSpace is a residential neighborhood of Hushville surrounding our camp from Taos, New Mexico. It is open to anyone in Black Rock City to camp in with the four requirements of no sound systems, no generators, leave no trace and all vehicles need to be covered or disguised. This is to provide not only the aural oasis of Hushville’s environment, but a visual oasis to the “camping in a parking lot ” syndrome that much of BRC suffers from. To camp in TaoSpace, you MUST apply to camp in Hushville at their website registration. This does not guarantee space, as that is on a first come basis.

Hometown: Taos, NM

Tazii

Tazii is a camp within the Village Sanctuary. Tazii theme campe is a Moroccan tent structure that provides a stunning background for impromptu musical jam sessions during the day.

Temple of Atonement

Temple of Atonement: Black Rock city’s premier BDSM camp. Take part in our sanctuary of decadence as we pursue transformation, education and personal development amidst our dark fantasies. This is an opportunity for individuals to explore the darker side of their imagination: to learn more about themselves and their fantasies without fear of negative connotations, or social repercussions… It’s an opportunity for supplicants to ask, veterans to play and the curious to learn.

For the eighth year in a row, the Temple will open its doors to the dusty playa, welcoming Black Rock Citizens.

TOA is a complete 2500 square foot sanctuary and dungeon with wall-to-wall carpet, lots of SM equipment & a chill space. It is a place where we make our (& your) dark fantasies a reality. The Temple is our home, our place to be free, and our family.

Deep within the Galaxy of GLOM lies an outpost for all thirsty voyagers of the time/space/playa continuum… The anGLOMeda Galaxy Bar …cue ominous music…

A shot of “Sandworm Spice” or a “PanGalactic GargleBlaster” or a glass of “anGLOMeda Punch” may be just what your alien body craves along your cosmic journey thru the Vault of Heaven. (or maybe you just need a beer)

We gladly play for your weddings, parties, funerals, and just for the heck of it. We’re currently about 40-strong and are constantly seeking more volunteers of all talent levels.

The Cult of E.R.I.C.

The Cult of E.R.I.C. is the home and hub of 4 major theme camps in Black Rock City this year.

“Cult of E.R.I.C.” was born out of the amazing connections between strangers that are born at Burningman. Come hang out at the “Ballyhoo Bistro” and have a drink, make some art, dance on the “pole” or find a soft place to land in the “snuggle palace”. Either way, you will feel at home here…

“Burning Silicon” is the home of one of the busiest Burningman communities in America. Come and find your neighbors, interact with a host of ineteractive projects, and most importantly, connect with the people who make this community a great place to burn year round!

“Radio Electra” joins us this year as they transmit to BRC music from some of the most interesting and eclectic DJ’s in BRC.

“Scarab” will be host once again to their own brand of interactivity. Check out their listing in the theme camp guide!!!

The Oracle at Black Rock

Mankind has ever sought to know the future and understand the past. By day, the Oracle provides services of divination; answers for those with questions via the Tarot.

The Orphanage

Our camp’s called “The Orphanage,” because everybody’s been kicked out of somewhere, and this is your chance to buck the trend. Half halfway house, half carnivale, it’s a friendly, welcoming place, where we’ll take you in and care for you — for as long as you can keep us amused.

The Orphanage offers its space to people from other camps who need to be somewhere else for a while. There will be a large space for unwinding, as well as many small areas of games and variety, loosely modeled on the idea of the carnival 10-in-1, united under the common theme of entertaining and being entertained. We’ll be running a 24/7 variety show filled with different activities and pastimes to keep everyone on their toes. And there will be a kissing booth. And a bar.

The Pearly Gates

While the Vault of Heaven does not necessarily involve a place called heaven, historically, it has implied a world which is outside ours. The pearly gates, the portal to another world, are certainly outside our present reality. Simply by walking through these gates you may try another world… experience something better than reality, perhaps…

The Red Rocket

The Red Rocket will be a bar that serves a particular type of beverage to passers by. The beverage is named appropriately “fire water” and believe me it is HOT. If a passer by wishes to sample this fine drink they must deserve it, a kind word, song, good joke, or something in exchange will do the trick. The participant will the be sent directly to Hell, the evil side of the bar, it is like the bars back alley. Here a luge will supply the burner with a shot of this hot liquid, that should blast them to a higher plane of consciousness in the cosmos, and so they may exit hell. Burners are encouraged to hang out back at the Red Rocket bar and bringing beverages (preferably alcoholic) to share with others is always good, as one can only stand so much fire water.

Hometown: Corte Madera, CA

Camp DeNile, under the tropic of DeNile. LOOK UP! We’re in DeNile. Are you in DeNile about something? Oh yeh, you’re not ready to talk about it yet. Well fine. It’s not 4 o’clock yet. But when the clock strikes four, you’ll remember reading this and motate, rotate, and go straight towards the wettest and cheapest happy hour on the playa: Camp DeNile. The Green Room, the sous chef’s pantry, the back lot to AREA 47. Where the playa Rat Pack come to cool their heals in preparation for long nights of Promiscuity, Alien Love, and Revirginization. Well pre-function till sunset, then feign usefulness and help the rest of our village get their groove on. Music: World and beyond. Drink: Three signature cocktails: Traditional Embalming Elixir, Prescription Only Strangelove, and our seductively terrifying fizzy-shit, the Amber Alert.

We’re not shrinks, in fact we may enable your entire BS with the crowd we attract. Not to worry, what nature doesn’t draw out, our bartenders will. One way or another, youll get your fix when we fire up the Oasis of DeNile (our ever-expanding art car) for a drink-pouring, world music-pumpin, sunset tour of the playa. Hot showers provided en route for those in need. Bring a towel, bring a friend, bring some water to share, let’s see if group hydrotherapy isn’t in your future. Weekdays: 4p to 6p, peaking Thursday, when well re-shingle your shack(whatever that means) Well pump it up and give it away. All of it. Thursday night! Be there or don’t. One way or another, you’ll remain in DeNile. Aloha.

True Mirror Palace

A palace of True Mirrors reflecting the real you in all your glory. Lose the flat and distorted backwards you in both a huge full length True Mirror as well as small private meditation booths where you can navel gaze to your hearts content.
