Sober at Burning Man

Can you do Burning Man sober?

People do it and write about it. We are not going to invent a count of sober camps. r/BurningMan, a first burn sober

Logistics

  • There is a Reddit thread about a first burn sober. Read that person. Do not read us as them. r/BurningMan, a first burn sober
  • We will not name a sober camp until an official page confirms it. That list is TBD — check the official camp and placement information. TBD — check Black Rock City
  • The Survival Guide still wants water on you. Alcohol is not a hydration plan. The guide says drugs and alcohol raise dehydration risk. Survival Guide
