Burn Life is a social network for burners and festival-goers — the community behind regional burns, theme camps, and festival culture. Members use it to find their people, join camps and crews, and discover burns, art builds, and gatherings all year long.
Yes — creating a profile and joining the community are free. In a culture built on gifting and participation, that's how it should be.
Burners of every stripe: veterans with decades of dust, regional organizers, theme-camp leads, artists, builders, fire performers, and people planning their very first burn. If radical self-expression means something to you, you'll fit right in.
No. Plenty of members join before their first event — it's honestly the best way to prepare. Find a camp, ask questions in the forum, read first-burn guides, and arrive with friends instead of strangers.
Browse the events calendar for regional burns, festivals, build days, fundraisers, and decompressions, and the directory for festival grounds and gathering places. Members add the practical details: dates, ethos, and what to bring.
A theme camp is a group of burners who camp together and create something for the community — a bar, a stage, an art piece, a chill space, a pancake breakfast at dawn. Camps are the heart of burn culture, and our groups are where they recruit and organize.
No. Burn Life is an independent community site for burner and festival culture broadly — regional burns, festivals, and the people who love them. We're inspired by the principles the culture lives by, but we're not affiliated with or endorsed by any event organization.
Share what you create and experience — art, builds, costumes, landscapes, and the community in action. Photos must respect the people in them: get consent before posting identifiable photos of others, keep it legal, and remember that every upload is reviewed before it appears.
Yes. Burn Life is an adults-only community — every member must be 18 or older (21 where local law requires).
Our moderation team reviews member photos before they appear, and verified members carry a badge on their profile. It keeps the community real — actual burners, not bots or fakes.
No. Playa names and privacy go hand in hand — share what you're comfortable with. You control your photos and who sees them.
Browse the camps and crews, introduce yourself, and say what you can contribute — every camp needs builders, cooks, greeters, drivers, and first-timers with enthusiasm. Camps recruit year-round, and asking is how everyone starts.
