Made for Burning Man theme camp leads
PlayaOS is free camp management software for Burning Man theme camps. Manage rosters, applications, dues, shelter assignments, shifts, and kitchen operations in one branded portal. Every feature is included for camps of any size, with no paid tiers or member caps.
Roster, applications, dues, shelter, shifts, and kitchen: the parts of camp that used to live in a spreadsheet, a Venmo thread, and a 400-message group chat.
Every feature, for camps of any size, at no cost — no member cap, no per-person charge, no paid tier waiting behind it.
Get your camp's free portalKeep every camper in one roster, burn after burn. Profiles, contact info, emergency contacts, dietary needs, and ticket status, so you always know who is actually coming.
Take applications, run your vibe checks, and bring new campmates on board without losing anyone in a group chat. Build the application your camp actually asks, then move people through it.
Map your camp footprint and put everyone under cover. RVs, shiftpods, hexayurts, and tents, with power and capacity tracked so placement stops living in your head.
Build the shift schedule once, then let campmates sign up and check in. Fair distribution is built in, so nobody gets stuck with every MOOP sweep.
Collect camp dues online through Givebutter and see who has paid at a glance. Dues cover shared infrastructure, so this is about splitting real costs fairly, not turning a profit.
Feed the whole camp without the daily scramble. Plan meals, track dietary needs and allergies, generate shopping lists, and staff the kitchen, with AI briefings to help your kitchen leads prep.
Run a camp of three hundred, pack for your first burn, or build your own portal from scratch — there's a door for you, and none of them costs anything.
Your camp gets its own branded portal — roster, applications, dues, shelter, and shifts in one place, so the load stops landing on the same two leads every year. Set it up in an afternoon, invite your crew, and get your off-season back.
