Burning Man

The famous Burning Man festival

Discover the Burning Man festival. In your motorhome you will not have to bother about packing and unpacking, but rather just enjoy your road trip at your own pace with family or friends. You can reach the Nevada desert from San Francisco, Los Angeles or Las Vegas. 

The Burning Man is a festival unlike any other. It started on a small beach in San Francisco in 1986 and has evolved into a mighty, wonderful, creative city built from scratch every year by more than 60 000 participants in the Black Rock Desert (Nevada). The festival lasts a week at the end of August every year, however participants and volunteers are there for much longer building Black Rock City and taking in all down to leave no trace at the end of all the festivities. 

Everyone is welcome and there are no prerequisites for participation. There is no programme, no agenda. It is a magical, creative space in which you can do as you feel with few rules and restrictions. Consequently, self expression through art takes place in many forms and a theme is given each year to help tie individual’s artistic contributions together in a more meaningful way. You will discover a total freedom - no criticism and no judgement. 

To find your place in the desert Black Rock City, all you have to do is drive in and stop where you feel comfortable. You have arrived! Your motorhome has found its place! 

The Burning Man festival encourages individuals to discover their inner resources, to use and to rely on them. The community is eco-friendly and is committed to leaving no physical trace of its activities at the end of the festival. Participants clean the premises before they leave, and if possible, in a better state than that in which they found them. They ensure that their stay and their actions will have no long-term impact on the environment. 

Please note that tickets for this festival must be bought many months or even a year in advance. The same applies to the renting of a motorhome for the festival.
