Queerburners Campout Memorial Day Weekend 2025
- TBA
- San Francisco, CA
Spring has sprung in the hills of Colusa County. Come let the invigorating surge of juicy new growth revive your spirit and soothe your soul.
Queerburners invites you to an off-grid escape to the East Park Reservoir, a hidden gem in the foothills of the Mendocino National Forest. Dust off your camping gear for a casual weekend getaway with friends, new and old. The Ten Principles will guide our intentions and behaviors. In alignment with the greater Burning Man community, we endeavor explicitly to be inclusive, sustainable, and connected.
Everyone will be responsible for their own food, shelter, and transportation*. Feel free to bring your special dish or trademark treat to share. Or recreate a theme camp with all the blinky lights or colored flags or set up your own cocktail bar. You can pitch your tent solo on a low, secluded bluff overlooking the reservoir or erect a small village at the edge of the crystal blue water. With plenty of space to spread out, our aim is to relax and reconnect while we have fun and frolic. The vibe is mindful, easy, and chill. Don't forget to bring your playa magic!
