RV and Other Rentals and Hookup Sites

We have no personal experience with RV stuff, but here is a list of businesses for your perusal. Note that several companies have stopped renting to burners due to folks returning RVs with trash and without cleaning. The companies that we know do not rent to burners are not listed here. The casino RV parks are clearly oriented toward gamblers, but do generally offer access to all the amenities. The other parks seem split between asphalt lots downtown and scenic, family parks towards the edge of town.

Rentals

Cruise America Motorhome Rental and Sales (800) 327-7799 (They speak German! The website has an informative FAQ page that looks helpful for people coming from outside the US or who have not driven an RV before.)

Sierra RV Supercenter rents to Burners. I'm sure their rates are higher for us, but that seems fair, given the amount of cleaning needed (even if you do a lot yourself). 9125 S.

From Rt. 395, take Exit 67, Glendale Ave. • turn left onto E. 2nd St. and you're there. It's the tallest building in the area, so it's hard to miss.

I-80 Smokeshop and Campground 1000 Smokeshop Circle, Wadsworth 574-1022. Quite conveniently located at the exit off I-80 to Burning Man - while not scenic, there is a service station and mini-mart, both of which are frequented by many Burning Man attendees.

If you are not from the US and are not familiar with American telephone numbers, take a look at our Assistance Page for travellers.

This is not the official Burning Man site. That Web site is located at Burning Man.
