Before The Application

Step 1 of 3

Are you planning to attend Burning Man this year?

We only have a limited number of spots each year and they fill up fast. We prioritize people who are already planning to go.

Cosmic Llamas is a participatory camp built by the people in it. We're looking for people who are ready to show up fully — for themselves and for each other.

THE BASICS

Have you been to Burning Man before?

THE REAL QUESTIONS

Which areas are you willing and able to contribute to? Select all that apply.

THE REALITY CHECK

There's no wifi. No reception. The showers will probably break. It might rain hard. The dust gets everywhere. How does that make you feel?

When a problem comes up, your first instinct is to...

Excluding what the camp provides, I'm willing and able to be self-reliant and transport all of my own supplies to the playa — including but not limited to camping gear, RV, bike, and everything I need to survive the week.

How do you prefer to camp at Burning Man?

*The camp doesn't provide AC. You're welcome to bring your own — we have a power grid you can plug into for a small fee.

What are the TOP THREE things that matter the most to you at camp? (pick 3)

ONE LAST THING

BEFORE YOU APPLY

Cosmic Llamas is built by the people who show up for it.

Around here, the burn doesn’t start when we hit the playa. It begins much much earlier during the preparation, the build, and the shared effort that brings the camp to life.

From pre-burn prep in LA and Reno, through build week, the event itself, and post-burn teardown, every camper helps create the experience we all get to share.

That level of participation is what makes it meaningful and rewarding.

If you're looking for a camp that asks less of you, we completely understand.

Cosmic Llamas is for people who want to bring their own magic and add it to the magic we create together.
