Theme camps tend to have meals for their own members, rather than everyone. This is because Nevada health inspectors are out there and may bust public kitchens. Finding neighbors to share food and cooking is pretty easy. What sort of food are you bringing? How will you keep it cold if needed? Have you found and read the food threads?

Do keep reading, because I think you may have some notions which won't hold up in reality.

Pot luck dinners are plenty common in Defaultia, never heard of the Health Dept busting anyone.

One of my favorite memories is of a stone soup breakfast, but camps which serve potluck style to non-camp members come under scrutiny. Hushville had this problem when our Vegan Pancake Brunch first began, they got shut down for serving non-camp members. Had to make it an internal village thing instead of feeding anyone who wandered by. Turned into one big damn morning potluck, many people showed up, but it never was "advertised". You just knew about it, contributed and helped clean up. The first rule of Naked Vegan Brunch was we didn't talk about it. Sadly, the driving forces behind it no longer attend and it fell apart.

A real pot luck is when participants bring dishes to share with each other. So if in the process of sharing with one another, someone with no pot in the luck comes by and eats, that can get you in trouble? What if you had to limit it to those who contribute? That doesn't seem very Burner like.

It isn't burnery, and gets ignored most of the time. However, a camp hosting a potluck has to be aware there can be a fine if the Health Inspectors get a bug up their ass. Most of the playa potlucks I know about are spontaneous, and wouldn't end up posting a schedule.

Our camp had a spontaneous potluck one night, followed by a costume contest where everyone won a prize. It was a blast! We didn't bring any fresh food with us. Next time, I may think ahead about potlucks and see if there is something that would be good on the Playa.
