Barrios are a fundamental part of making Nowhere what it is!
Let’s be honest, coming to Nowhere is a lot of work. It is fun, fantastic, interesting and quite probably a life-changing experience too – but it’s also tough. Even bringing only yourself into the desert, with all the supplies required to support yourself for a week, and then packing everything out again takes some planning. And that’s just the self-reliance part – we haven’t even talked about the self-expression part yet!
By working together with a group of like-minded people, you can divide the work so you still have some time, energy and resources left over for fun things like art projects, bars, trampolines and maybe even a ball pen (to name just a few of the great things heroic theme camps have brought out to the Los Monegros desert over the years).

Description:
A Barrio for “newbie” (& newbie-ish) Burners (Babies)! It could be your first burn, or first Nowhere / first desert burn, or *maybe* NOT but… something else, like first time joining a Camp (or taking a significant leadership role)! We’re 40 babies, and we become a family. We co-create the magic together, without the pressure of joining long established camps with already tightly knit friend groups. A safe yet playful space, we make our magic happen in a cozy, pink, fluffy animal, lovey vibe of our own! As “Babies”, each and everyone learning and growing their comfort zone, everyone must be involved in the co-creation (no spectators here)! Our members change every year, which means YOU have a say in the co-creation and make new friends with others in a similar situation. We “BLOOM” our Babies into good Burners that respect the principles while having an amazing Nowhere!

Greetings to all the wonderful Burners out there,
we are thrilled to introduce CAMP CAMBIO – a place of wisdom, love, and happiness that blends the exotic charm of the Orient with the fantastical allure of Wonderland. Join us at our camp to participate in a magical exchange of items and experiences, where you can trade what you have too much of for something exciting and unexpected. We will also be hosting magical wonderland tea parties throughout the week. Join us for an enchanting experience that will transport you to a whimsical world of tea and wonder!
Our workshops will be held daily, but the rabbit hole will be open all week, allowing you to exchange whatever you have in excess. Help others in need by donating items, or discover something new and exciting that will enlighten your path through the Nowhere week! In addition, we will also be hosting magical wonderland tea parties throughout the week. Join us for an enchanting experience that will transport you to a whimsical world of tea and wonder!
Join our barrio, and help us build our amazing Bedouin tent, a safe haven with an oriental twist for anyone seeking refuge. Exchange whatever you brought too much of in our rabbit hole for something surprisingly else. The content of the rabbit hole is not controlled, so you are free to place anything you like.
We will bring our 6m x 12m Bedouin tent, a shade structure, sound system, a kitchen and cooking equipment, a shower, tables, carpets, and board games, as well as tea and the magic Rabbit Hole. As part of our communal efforts, we kindly ask that all camp members participate in one food run and one kitchen shift during the week. This will help us keep our kitchen running smoothly and ensure that everyone is well-fed and happy.
At Camp Cambio, we are chill, fun, sex-positive, and excited to meet you! Please bring your tent, sunscreen, and other basics, and come with an open mind.
We have 20 new spaces available, so please contact us on Facebook if you want to join.

Multivision Broadcasting will bring you entertainment in the most mindful way, in the right here, right now! No more flipping from streaming app to streaming app, no more choice paralysis and distracted sessions whilst also ordering clothes and food online.
Multivision will share what’s authentic and real – art and passion, even when it’s not for everyone. We’re pushing back on group think, and the creation of mass-market media that’s easy and safe (and makes money). We support creators and dreamers, and trying something new even if it falls flat. Because that’s when the truly exceptional can bloom.
At Multivision Broadcasting you will BE the entertainment, you will BE the host – the raging reporter – the audience – the contestant, and together we will create!
Our area will once again be transformed into a psychedelic wonderland at night, with beautiful analogue projections that will make your mind melt. Days and nights will be filled with the great variety of music and performance you’ve come to expect from us, and yes we will bring the same awesome sound installation as last year. You’re welcome 🙂

Werkhaüs is home for those who create the Nowhere we love and adore – the volunteers. This barrio is a NOrg project and part of NOrg’s volunteer department. Its goal is providing a social space and comfort for the people that spend a lot of time making Nowhere happen. Werkhaüs is the living room of the set up & strike crew and it is turned into a barrio during the event. So, during the event, Werkhaüs is a normal-ish barrio, where “very involved humans” are welcome to join us.
How to live in Werkhaüs during set up and/or strike?
Werkhaüs is the living space of everybody working with NOrg during set up & strike. To live here during set up and/or strike you will have to:
- Create an account on FIST
- Sign up for NOrg set up and/or strike crew (choose your duration, choose your team(s))
- Wait for validation (& your Early Entry)
Validation received? Congratulations! You will be part of Werkhaüs as long as you are involved with one of the teams operating during set up or/and strike.
BEWARE: Living with Werkhaüs during set up or strike doesn’t mean you automatically join Werkhaüs during the event (as a barrio). You will have to register.
How to join us during the event?
Everyone is welcome at Werkhaüs, but we do have requirements. Why? Because we’re named Werkhaüs for a reason: we werk hard (but play harder). Here is some more information about how to join us:

- SHIFT WARRIOR: You are an event time involved human, you rock a minimum of 20h of NOrg shifts (go to FIST to sign up for shifts)
If you are combining one or more of these: well done! We love your werk! And try to not die!
Admission Steps:
- Create your profile on FIST
- Pre-registration
- Receive confirmation
- Fill out the Real Registration
- Pay your fees

Wonderever is the best kept secret on the playa. Since 2013 we’ve harboured a web of wonderful wanderers that work hard, play hard and take care of each other in the heat!
Our camp is a vibrant haven nestled at the top of the plaza. We’re a diverse community that values connection, co-creation, hammocks, and the art of relaxing. We provide a living room where hammocks sway gently in the (shady) breeze, breathtaking balcony views, and a touch of silliness in our ceremonial chapel. Wonderever – totally not a cult.
We supply the usual: water, showers, shade for tents, food and drinks. On top of that we have several chill spaces, hammocks and lounge nets.
Join us for a unique blend of relaxation, warmth, and community. We’re a queer friendly camp and value diversity. Anyone and everyone is welcome here!

We are spiritual-seekers with a twist of sexiness. Our camp has the basics covered, enough shade to protect our tents from the Spanish sun, and two spaces for the dozens of workshops we throw including hanging the occasional Shibari partner. We stick to the quieter end of the playa (it helps with what little sleep we end up getting) and may be going full solar this year. Our kitchen cooks for 60 and has been known to use camp members instead of serving trays. We drink radlers during build, many many radlers, and keep some surprises for those who are able to stick around for strike.

The story of how we actually canceled the Apocalypse!

Our primary focus is to spread as much consent culture as possible in a loving and caring environment. Through workshops, performance art, an opulent sensual and erotic space, and dancing into trance, we aim to create a transformative experience.
Our opulent space welcomes sensual, sexual, and kinky play of all kinds. We extend our invitation to all bodies, sexual orientations, loves, and lovers

Our daytime activities involve hosting workshops, acts, and performances, while at night, we transform into a mesmerizing dance floor. Although we identify as a sound camp, we also value the arts! We have a lot of wacky creatures running around in this MultiVerse and they have some pretty funky ideas. Are they all realistic? Probably not.. Do we try anyway? Of Course! Anything goes here and if you have an idea we’ll probably try our best to make it work. Failure is an option, it’s fun to try anyway right? If you want to merge your wildest dreams with our analogue visual projections going across the entire MultiVerse or dance in front of our bigger than human kaleidoscope for an extra special performance, we welcome you new friend!

Chuchichäschtli, Fuschtlifaffli, Fluffyfäschtli.
Part of Nowhere since 2006.
This time our name is not swisscamp – a camp by swisspiips – but much more than not swisscamp.
Breeding ground for creativity, friendship, vision, community. Soap and energy dispenser for large and small projects, ventures, love. Familiar home and adventurer’s haven. Beginning and end of each beginning and end – or as not swisscampiips tend to say: The Foundation of the flagpole.
This is your favourite living room.
Humble and extravagant.
Ready for new adventures in our 16th year on the field of dirt – together dirty.

Oasis Playground is the place to chill and talk in the afternoon and early evening. We host workshops and are very welcoming for wanderers of the playa. We are excited to create a mix of virgins and experienced burners that makes it hard to leave again.

We love weird humour, sarcasm and the occasional dad joke. We are often loud and a bit crazy, but we also get things done. Throughout the week we have some events, including our very special Pulpo Spa where you can come, relax, and have your hair washed. Our goal is to create a fun home base for people to make some friends and have a good time.

Be our visitor, guest, or member. We see you in your full presence and hope to connect, because every single creature is an inspiration for our world.
Übertown
Think Burns are largely full of privileged sanctimonious hypocrites? We do too. Tbh, we’d probably not bother if we hadn’t accidentally made ‘friends’ with a bunch of them and this was the easiest way to see lots of them in one place.
So until we think of a better solution (trust us, we’re working on it) we’ll continue running Nowhere’s longest running, most ambitious, highest achieving barrio.
It’s, like, an immersive post-apocalyptic party space with theatrical elements.
Waves of Music
Ecstatic Dances every evening, and Silent Disco nights.
In the daytime, come chill in our dreamy Bedouin pillow camp, where from time to time our Mysterious Mistresses serve you a tea, in lingery (or without lingery). We host an all-day open stage for all the wonderful souls in Nowhere, to share, to act, to sing, to dream, to celebrate life with us.
Werkhaüs
Werkhaüs is home for those who create the Nowhere we love and adore – the volunteers. This barrio is a NOrg project and part of NOrg’s volunteer department. Its goal is providing a social space and comfort for the people that spend a lot of time making Nowhere happen. Werkhaüs is the living room of the set up & strike crew and it is turned into a barrio during the event. So, during the event, Werkhaüs is a normal-ish barrio, where “very involved humans” are welcome to join us.
WhyNot
WhyNot is a no drama, have a drink and put up your feet vibe camp with the best Bloody Marys on Playa(Fod, Dirt, Dust, _____ , ect.), a tea house built for the perfect escape from the heat of siesta, the most comfortable dome to rest that weary dome of yours for the full relaxation experience and an on board, full sized all inclusive theater just for flying on by and saying hello!
Wonderever
Wonderever is a chill and arty place, where we gather and wonder. We provide a space for education and wonder with our workshops and lectures moments. We throw a party on friday if we get hold of an art car. And when we are doing none of those we are sleeping in our hammocks
Yes!
We are spiritual-seekers with a twist of sexiness. Our camp has the basics covered, enough shade to protect our tents from the Spanish sun, and two domes for the dozens of workshops we throw including hanging the occasional Shibari partner. We stick to the quieter end of the playa (it helps with what little sleep we end up getting) and may be going full solar this year. Our kitchen cooks for 60 and has been known to use camp members instead of serving trays. We drink radlers during build, many many radlers, and keep some surprises for those who are able to stick around for strike.
If any of this seems like your jam and you want to check our our family, apply now!

We have got you covered with premium Apocalypse pre-parties, featuring exclusive catering services that needn’t be sustainable any longer, plus front row seats with sweeping views over the collapse of human civilization.

We’re at your service to answer your prayers. Because at the end of the day, the apocalypse is always now. And in any event, the apocalypse is always here.
ARE WE THERE YET?
Are we there yet? Are you there yet? Yes, you have arrived to the peaceful but yet playful oasis on the playa: a place to rest from the craziness of it all, to be nurtured and regain forces before dancing all night!

CHARMING CHICKPEAS
What do you have in common with a broccoli? The haircut maybe? Or is it that you both taste yummy when covered in olive oil, salt and pepper? You are probably right but the answer we would like to propose is: the gracious shape of both your bodies!

DONUT
Happy, happy….. joy, joy! This would have been our 10th year if it hadn’t been for you know what but we’re counting our blessings. We’ll be serving coffee and donuts on some mornings or hopefully every morning before dawn. Which mornings? Every morning? We don’t know! The deadline for submitting this barrio blurb was way back in April. We can’t plan to commit that far out. In any case, if any of you hippie rascals still happen to be wandering, or stumbling around the playa before dawn, come by and find out. If you happen to be a newcomer to this wonderful thing we like to call Nowhere, please remember, no cup…… no coffee.
We’ll still give you donuts, but it’s not the same without a hot cup of coffee goodness. Even if the threat of the coming mosquito Armageddon sunrise doesn’t distract you enough from the reality that your mouth we’ll probably get really dry and then you’ll get dehydrated and then you’ll be in big trouble because now, to top it off, you’re also constipated and there’s four more days of Nowhere left and all because you forgot to bring your cup.
Hmmm, maybe we should insist on no cup… no coffee and… no donuts for your own safety.

You might stumble upon a game? Will you team up for a playfight? Learn something new about yourself? Or get naked and naughty while (re)discovering your kinks? No one ever knows what’s behind our doorstep. But no one day within Loophole will ever be like the one before….
MERCURIAL RETROGRADES

This year we want Mirage to be a place where we can safely come back out of our shells and re-learn and re-experience all the wonderful interactions that are possible between us.
A place where we can live, dance, love and have new experiences and connect with new and old friends on the Spanish playa. Come and join us in this exciting and wonderful adventure! Whether you are a new member or one of the older ones, we can’t wait to see you again in the dust!

We will be offering workshops – from quirky mooooooing to transformational regeneration of a potential you might have been seeking for a while… The herd is going to erect multiple spaces for various transfigurations – a chill out space to layback doused in music and indulgence; musical jamming; auto-shamanistic journey dome.
As our namesake indicates we will be celebrating the lunar cycle with a pre/post sunset bar with tapas and drinks, and perhaps some bovine shenanigan exchange. We are friendly to all and welcome all to be friendly with us 🙂

We stick to the quieter end of the playa (it helps with what little sleep we end up getting) and may be going full solar this year. Our kitchen cooks for 60 and has been known to use camp members instead of serving trays
ARRÊTE TON CIRQUE !
Our camp offers different daytime activities and games, such as yoga, dance, poi dancing, juggling, body painting, hug deli, wheel of fortune etc. Every evening, we also offer fresh punch and some snacks to warm people up for the night. On top of that, a ball pit will be placed in front of the camp for people to relax and play at anytime.
BABABABARRIO
Simple yet surprising, sweet and sticky, the Babababarrio is a place where elephants come to relax after a long flight. Like the babble of a baby, our name is stammerer-friendly : we welcome any beautiful being floating around. Believe in your dreams, be as light as a bubble, and feel yourself flowing in a bath of kindness and bamboozlement.
Come have a break, a beer, banter with us: breathe deep, can you feel the breeze?

If any of you rascals still happen to be wandering, or stumbling around the playa from around 5:00 to sunrise, stop on by. If you happen to be a newcomer to this wonderful thing we like to call Nowhere, please remember, no cup…… no coffee. We’ll still give you donuts, but it’s not the same without a hot cup of coffee goodness. Even our couch and trapeze equipped dome won’t distract you enough from the reality that your mouth we’ll probably get really dry and then you’ll get dehydrated and then you’ll be big trouble because now, to top it off, you’re also constipated and there’s four more days of Nowhere left and all because you forgot to bring your cup. Hmmm, maybe we should insist on no cup… no coffee and… no donuts for your own safety.

At least one day, we will be debuting the Planet Pulpo Spa with fans, mist, a nail salon and a hair wash station. Sit back, relax, and try to forget for a moment that you are in a 50° field of dirty. Our chilling space also provides shade, a sofa, hammocks and mattresses.
PLAYGROUND
We’re struggling with our identity, but are famous for our hospitality. Welcoming all dusty beings wandering around to come and chill with us. We like to think of ourselves as the perfect camp to come play, dance and chill in the afternoon and early evening. We host some pretty awesome workshops every year. Our infamous “Tittie Appreciation hour” for example. People from all over the playa come running up to see what the commotion is about!
RAN’DOME

SSSH!
sssh! is THE place to be for massage and meditation at Nowhere. We’re really excited to continue this tradition for 2019 – our 10th year. Once again we’ll be running a mix of meditation groups from yoga to tantra to massage classes. And of course, we’ll have our annual mud bath!

- Assist our patrons with ego death
- Remain dysentery free for two consecutive years

TRASH UR PLANET
Camp Trash uR Planet will bring a new light to the usage of materials in our commercial and capitalistic world. Through various art projects we will invite the people of nowhere to rethink their views on possession, waste and value. It is a place where the change of mind from simply consuming to actually using and repurposing is made visual.
Where waste is seen as raw material. Where our mother earth is seen as a closed system and therefore by definition all material is a limited edition. It is a project that the whole of Nowhere can work on, together.
TRIP ADVISOR
Life is a trip, so you better have one of our advisors to guide you though it!
Trip Advisor is the psychedelic playground of nowhere, the one place for creating connections, experiencing workshops, getting knowledge and creating a path of a responsible, meaningful, fun and mutual journeys that extend far beyond what these words here can explain.

ÜBERTOWN
Following the grotesque greed and gluttony of Übertown’s past, The Church Of Übertown will eradicate the heretical hedonism of Nowhere and bring you back in contact with the Elemental, the Radiant, the Alpha…. Uranium.
WAIT FOR EAT
We’re good at food, bodypainting, and waiting for nothing – which is the main course on our Barrio’s menu. Serving good times, lounge music, and a chill space from dawn till dusk. Our diner acts as a gallery space for neo-post-contemporary-antique-burner art and interactive installations. Stop by and wait for eat.
WAVES OF MUSIC
We are bringing the dance to Nowhere, in Waves of Music. International top DJ’s, top sound and top atmosphere for the dances of your live. Ecstatic Dance & Contact Impro, morning yoga, singing circles. When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, we hope you’ll dance like nobody’s watching.
WERKHAÜS
Werkhaüs is home for those who create the Nowhere we love and adore – the volunteers. This barrio is a NOrg project and part of NOrg’s volunteer department. Its goal is providing a social space and comfort for the people that spend a lot of time to making Nowhere happen!
Werkhaüs is the living-room of the set up crew & strike crew and it is turned into a barrio during the event. So, during the event, Werkhaüs is a normal-ish barrio, where “very involved humans” are welcome to join us.
WHY NOT?
Come and see where the comfort started – literally: Nowhere’s original and best chill out camp is back for our 11th year of giving you the fluffy Cocoon: a place to collapse and carry on enjoying the night when your legs can’t take any more but your brain is still up and about.
We’ve also got some new activities to enjoy including new workshops, reading corner and a few pop-up games to look out for. Also back this year with our sister camp Babycham, we’ll have our usual kick-arse Thursday night village party with top-notch cocktails. Or come and enjoy our latest cinema experience, whenever you see it playing.
WONDEREVER
Quite known for our chilled space and relaxing hammocks, Wonderever is pressing the reset button this year. What will it look like? Noone knows yet…
We’re trying on a small scaled the do-ocracy model, with an emphasis on wandering and wondering. Wierd art? Strange fuckery? Questioning place?
YES!
Across the dusty desert you appeared like a mirage. I was mesmerized at first sight. My family jewels jiggled a bit, but I was carrying them that day for mom. I never forgot you, or that moment. It touched me deep down ( like when I used to go to confessional).
Yes! is a positive expression and exercise in opening ourselves to the world. Full of playfulness and fun, sexiness and joy!
ZOOASIS
Zooasis is your go-to-place for a bit of fresh air and tropical vibe in this hot and sunny desert! In the afternoon, we’ll make sure to cool you off with a refreshing breeze, ice cold drinks (iced tea, smoothies, milk shakes and other refreshments) and various workshops. At night, we’ll stimulate the party animal in you with our great DJ crew.

Camp Fiasco

ConnectiviTea
There is no escape. You can’t be a vagabond and an artist and still be a solid citizen, a wholesome, upstanding man. You want to get drunk, so you have to accept the hangover. You say yes to the sunlight and pure fantasies, so you have to say yes to the filth and the nausea. Everything is within you, gold and mud, happiness and pain, the laughter of childhood and the apprehension of death. Say yes to everything, shirk nothing. Don’t try to lie to yourself. You are not a solid citizen. You are not a Greek. You are not harmonious, or the master of yourself. You are a bird in the storm. Let it storm! Let it drive you! How much have you lied! A thousand times, even in your poems and books, you have played the harmonious man, the wise man, the happy, the enlightened man. In the same way, men attacking in war have played heroes, while their bowels twitched. My God, what a poor ape, what a fencer in the mirror man is- particularly the artist- particularly myself!

Retardigrades
We are mostly about nonsense things, and not very serious about anything… And we carry stuff around while we play, or hum or sing haphazardly the imperial march from Star Wars… (we do not recognize their TM out of practical purposes).

Slumberland
Imagine a magical place beyond the third mushroom on the right. You can only find it by getting yourself lost. You will meet magical creatures who will receive you with open arms and hearts. Wanna play? They will lure you in and seduce you. You will feel welcome, 100% loved and seen. Then you doze off in a luxurious canopy bed and dream of having a hot threesome with Han Solo and Barbarella in space.
The friendly folks of the small Slumberland barrio are a happy bunch, mostly from the Netherlands. We dreamed of creating our own little sex positive safe haven in a corner of Nowhere, where we can chill, connect, frolic around, enjoy the shade, each other and organize some fun workshops and rituals. This is the first year we are making this dream come true. Exciting!
Sssh!
Since 2010 sssh! has been the massage and meditation central of Nowhere. We’re really excited to continue this tradition for 2018. Once again we’ll be running a mix of meditation groups from yoga to tantra to massage classes. And of course, we’ll have our annual mud bath!

The Flat Playa Society
Despite what the so-called ‘scientists’ have been claiming for years, we possess compelling evidence that the playa is flat ! Find the truth by yourselves. Our barrio is the main station of a magical train, the Tchoutchou Dragon Express. We serve coffee late morning before noon, and offer random occasions of Mölkky or Twister game, beer & popcorn bar, as well as unsuspected Yoga sessions. French efficiency at its best.”

Mirage
“”Why?”” has been an integral question to our existance as a camp.

Our conclusion is that we would like to have many more dinners and discussions about sustainablity,innovation and beauty, we would like to quench our thirst for curiousity and experience, we would like to surround ourselves with wonderors who, like us, want to experience social forms that will lead to creation of the elusive utopia and finally we would like to keep it enjoyable and spontanious.

This is not a party camp. But on your way to or back from parties, you won’t find a better place to chill with coffee (in the morning), pastis (the rest of the time), games, and super friendly people. We like it long, slow, and good, and we mostly speak with a French accent – hence the name. Come and get lazy with us !

Alternative to joining a barrio: freecamping
Did you know that you don’t have to join a barrio? Some Nowhere participants prefer to camp alone or with a small group of friends and organize their own food, water, and shade. We call it “freecamping”.
It gives them the freedom to do camping just the way they like. You can’t reserve space in the freecamp areas, you won’t know exactly where you’ll be camping until you find the space, it is settled on a first-come-first-camped basis. Alternately, if you have some big ideas, you can form your own barrio.
Check out the Freecampers Facebook Group to pool resources, ask tips and meet other freecampers!
