Layouts & Maps

Burning Man 2023 Layout 

 The layout has remained relatively unchanged in the last few years, and follows a pretty obvious convention, similar to the old dial clocks. As the city grows, the radial streets use more letters every year. This year the streets go from A to K, and every year the words used for the letters change based on that year's theme ( click here for this year's names which are Animal names ). 

 This year the words are: A fanc, B igfoot, C hupacabra, D ingbat, E ncantado (that's where we are!), F rogbat, G rootslang, H odag, I gopogo, J ackalope, K raken.

 Location & Lot Information 

 This year our camp is approximately located at  8:30 and Encantado . I say approximately because the actually location is officially assigned upon arrival. 

 Here are some basic facts about the size of the camp (remember it's a radial lot, so the dimensions are approximate): 

 

 

 

 Approximate frontage length: 150ft 

 

 This is the interactive side of our camp and we should consider it our front yard that faces the street. 

 

 

 

 Approximate depth: 250ft 

 

 This is how far back into the block we go. 

 

 

 

 Corner camp: Yes 

 

 This means our camp has access to two or more frontages that can be used for interactive areas

 A wonderful group of people have gifted this facility for tracking camps on a live, Google Maps style map. 

 Here's the one for 2022 from their archive (and they have previous years as well if you are curious!):
