Yes . The camp will provide Yurts for an additional financial contribution to the camp.  (queen size and AC and electricity included). Note you will need to set them up and there is limited availability.

Yes, if you have an RV you can camp at DEOX. We will supply power as part of our camp costs.

If you’re bringing a yurt, tent, or Shiftpod, you should bring 25′, 12-gauge extension cords to connect to the available power.

Removing MOOP is absolutely essential at Burning Man. The “Leave No Trace” principle is one of the 10 core principles that all participants must follow. The playa environment is extremely fragile, and any foreign materials left behind can have a detrimental impact. If the Burning Man organizers find that a camp has failed to thoroughly clean up their MOOP, that camp may not be invited back the following year. Proper MOOP removal demonstrates respect for the land and a commitment to the Burning Man ethos. It’s a critical responsibility that all participants must take seriously.

If you don’t thoroughly remove every last bit of MOOP from your camp area, you risk serious consequences. The Burning Man organizers conduct extensive post-event inspections and publish a detailed MOOP Map showing which camps did a good job versus those that fell short. Camps that fail the MOOP test may not be invited back the following year. This is because leaving behind any foreign materials, even organic ones, goes against the core “Leave No Trace” principle. The playa environment is extremely fragile, and any MOOP left behind can have a negative impact. Properly cleaning up your camp area is an essential responsibility that all Burning Man participants must take very seriously.

Keeping the kitchen clean and orderly is essential. Campers should wipe down all surfaces after use, sweep the floor, and properly store all equipment and supplies. The kitchen must be left in a state that is ready for the next person or meal team to use. Maintaining a clean, organized kitchen space helps ensure food safety and enables efficient meal preparation for the entire camp.

You are responsible for learning about Burning Man. More information can be found on the <link> burning Man</link> website. We recommend taking time and reading thoroughly. 

Please read up on the “ingress” process before you drive in. Biggest thing to remember as you drive through Nevada on your way to the event: do not give law enforcement any reason to pull you over! Drive the exact speed limit (in some places just 5 MPH), make sure all your lights are functioning, including on your license plate, and your license plates are visible, don’t drive around with open alcohol bottles, etc.

Expect to be waiting in line to get in for many hours (4-8 hours is typical) – bring easily-accessed snacks and drinks and a good attitude. There are porta-potties along the road, and your vehicle will definitely be stopped long enough for you to use them! Again, no partying with open containers in the line.

The Deoxidized Oasis is the central communal lounge area of the camp. It features a large parachute providing shade, comfortable seating, a U-shaped bar, and a big dance floor with capacity for several hundred people. It is designed to be a welcoming oasis for weary travelers on the playa.

In addition to the Deoxidized Oasis, the camp has a bustling kitchen, private portas, cool showers, a soothing steam sauna – our AIRSTEAM (clothing optional), and residential spaces. These non-communal spaces are for the enjoyment and relief of the campers.

The communal tent is open to the playa 24/7, even when not hosting an event. Campers are encouraged to be welcoming hosts to all visitors. However, the non-communal spaces are for the exclusive use of the campers, and visitors should be ushered out respectfully.

Veteran campers are responsible for ensuring their guests comply with camp rules and actively contribute.

Before arriving at Burning Man, campers must:

– Read the camp handbook

– Join an orientation call

– Sign up for a team and dinner shift

– Connect with their team lead

Avoid bringing items that can easily become MOOP, such as feathers, glitter, and small packing materials. These can easily blow away and be difficult to clean up.

If you see any MOOP on the ground, such as cigarette butts or toothpicks, you should pick it up and dispose of it properly. You can also politely ask others to pick up any MOOP they have dropped.

There will be dedicated MOOP teams that sweep the camp each day, but it’s up to everyone to be vigilant and pick up MOOP whenever they see it.

If you spill food, fluids, or other materials on the ground, you should dig up the affected soil, place it in a garbage bag, and pack it out with you at the end of the event.

As a camper, you have access to the kitchen areas except for the Head Chef’s designated space. It’s important to never use items from the Head Chef’s area, as those are reserved for preparing the camp’s main meals.

With kitchen access comes critical responsibilities. You must handle food properly, be mindful of the strain the heat places on the refrigeration, and ensure the kitchen remains clean, organized, and ready for the next person or meal team. Preventing foodborne illness is crucial at Burning Man. Every camper has a responsibility to themselves and others to always use proper food handling techniques and maintain kitchen hygiene.

You should bring enough water and food (including snacks and lunch items) to sustain yourself for the entire event. There is nothing for sale except for ice and coffee at Burning Man, so you need to be self-sufficient.

Yes, you must pack out everything you bring in, including your own trash and some camp trash. Leave room in your vehicle for this.

You should bring shoes that fully cover your feet, a bike, goggles, and a scarf for sandstorms. Bring plenty of LED lights to last the week, and bring extras.
