Part of the Burning Man experience is roughing it.
The 61,000 people who attended last year's Burning Man Festival all stayed in tents, yurts, RVs — or didn't sleep at all.
But some "camps" — as the clusters of tents and RVs are called — are nicer than others.

But not all accommodations are so ... dusty.
I visited the camp of one expert "burner," who hosts an annual "fancy camp" for friends.
The gourmet meals are served buffet-style in a private tent.
There was sea bass, risotto, and fresh veggies!
Heirloom tomatoes and burrata cheese drizzled with balsamic vinegar!
Chocolate mousse for dessert — and there was even a vegan option!
In fancy camp, you have everything you need — head lamps, dust masks, even Q-Tips — organized in shelves with labels!
There was even a pool table!
