Theme Camp Directory 2022
The first year back to the official, org-sponsored Burning Man, after a two year forced hiatus caused by a global panemic, was both amazing and difficult for many. The weather was hotter, windier, and dustier than anyone remembered. After three years away, many theme camps found themselves out of practice. Many services like fuel delivery and Exodus were extremely disorganized leading to camps without fuel and most vehicles stuck for epic 10-hour lines to leave Black Rock City. But it was still wonderful to be back home after being stuck in the VR diaspora and most burners found it to be as transformational and invigorating an experience as ever.
