Camp Fuego's namesake is its Art Installation, "Fuego", an arresting life-sized stretched barbed-wire prancing HORSE with flame effects coming from her eyes and mane. Day and night, Fuego's raised head eyes passers-by, who stop to admire burner Cadie Enmark's debut art piece and are drawn into Camp Fuego. Fuego has been to the playa every year since 2007.
Camp Fuego hosts the F.U.Ego Bar, the No Mercy Stage, the Fuego Lounge and the Backstage VIP Lounge, housed in 80x30' of deep shade. We serve BRC's only organic snow cones and are open daily.
The F.U.Ego Bar generously serves a full assortment of top shelf booze & mixers and ice cold craft beer and hard cider. Pick your poison or refresh with an Italian Soda, electrolyte-rich Gatorade or endless organic snow cones. Stay awhile, have another. There are no limits at the F.U.Ego Bar.
The Fuego No Mercy Stage presents DJs from around the globe and hosts an Open Mic and the No Mercy Karaoke Challenge. Every karaoke singer must sign the No Mercy Contract: "I agree to all No Mercy rules which allows anyone to cut off any singer at anytime. [ ______ Playa Name here]". Neighbors love Fuego's No Mercy Stage because "No Mercy" means any listener can end any unpleasant sound at any time--a missed note, fade to dance music! All in good fun. If we're feeling generous, and a singer can be salvaged, "Mo' Mercy" Karaoke might kick in: well-keyed voices chime in, mic volumes adjust and the performance sounds great! The No Mercy Stage also presents spoken word, literary projects, and is open to any manner of stage performance.
Everyone who takes Fuego's No Mercy Stage is a winner. Even those immediately cut off under the No Mercy Contract gain immediate special access to the Backstage VIP Lounge where you can lounge in icy air-conditioning on sheepskin sipping Black Label or Patron. Some singers sing a few notes just to be cut off and gain access! Singers who crush it through their entire song gain access for themselves and their entire crew.
The Fuego Lounge provides shade, hammocks, seating and dancing around our stage and bar. Guests are even invited to dance on our bar. Fuego's Slack Line operates 24/7 and Fuego's Fire Pit warms visitors in the cool pre-dawn hours. The stage and bar open daily from approximately 11am to 3 pm and during the evenings several nights of the week, especially Burn night. Guests are invited to take the stage, dance on the bar or chill in the air-conditioned Backstage Lounge.
Fuego's stage hosts 4 cordless microphones reaching 100' from the stage, accommodating guests with mobility limitations. First-time Burners receive special welcome and are invited to take the stage, come behind the bar, inscribe the Lounge Walls or simply make themselves at home. The Fuego Stage has an Open Mic policy, inviting diverse performances and celebrating authenticity and inclusion; Fuego has hosted literary projects, rap performances, dance parties, karaoke, spoken word and bands.
Camp Fuego celebrates gender and sexual fluidity and nonconformity in our stage performances and in the dress, lifestyles and costuming of its individual members.
Camp Fuego strictly enforces a 21+ only policy for alcohol and serves those adults generously.
