Who we are

A camp that brings magic to the playa — while handling the messy parts for our campers.

The Fluffy Cloud is a fifteen-ton sound-and-light sculpture we raise at Black Rock City as our gift to the city — and Fluffer Camp is the crew that brings it to life. Around 150 of us gather each year, roughly a third from Brazil, a third from Europe, and the rest from the U.S. and around the world. From carpenters, to tech founders, to internationally acclaimed artists and beyond — everyone is equal, and everyone does their part.

As an international camp, we know the logistics are often the hardest part — language barriers, time-zone gaps, or simply being new to the Burn. So we handle the things that are easier to do together: 24/7 power, coordinating and securing an RV if you need one, bikes, food, water, showers — and our epic city placement at 10 & Helau. Roll in with your own setup if you're a veteran, or let us carry it if you're not. Either way, everyone does their part — about six hours of shifts across the week — so your energy goes to the playa and the crew, not the to-do list.

We run on Burning Man's Ten Principles — radical self-reliance, communal effort, gifting, participation. Fluffer Camp doesn't replace any of that. It carries the heavy logistics so you can show up and give the city your best.
"Whether it's your first burn or your fifteenth, the camp just runs. Because we run it together — led by veteran Burning Man camp leads with nearly 100 years of combined experience building some of the playa's biggest projects: Playa Alchemist, Jaguara, Mayan Warrior, Playground — and the Cloud itself."
