High Tide 6
May 14-17, 2026
The sixth annual High Tide weekend will take place from May 14-May 17, 2026
​
Start planning now for the best weekend of the year!
​
The fee is $150 per person, (Venmo @HighTideCamp)
​​​
We will gather at Cherry Clouds Oasis on the East edge of Death Valley. Location is one hour west of Las Vegas. GPS coordinates are:
35°57'28.2"N 115°55'08.7"W
35.957829, -115.919074
For those flying in, Las Vegas is just over an hour away. Rent a car, pick up some groceries, and head on over. From touchdown to get-down is just a couple of hours!
​
This is the desert! Plan for dry, hot, cold, and windy weather, though conditions in May are pretty perfect. Bring at least 5 gallons of water per person, ice, and warm clothes for the night.
​
If tent camping, bring lag bolts or strong stakes. Usually the weather cooperates, but 2025 hit us with strong wind!
​
High Tide is our annual Burn-inspired event in Death Valley. Like Burning Man, we engage in radical self-reliance, leave-no-trace environmentalism, and as much creativity as you like!
Unlike the Burn, there are some structures permanently in place, including a marooned boat, camping kitchen, shower, dancefloor, and a pink porto.
​
This event is by invitation only. Please ask the organizers before inviting others.
This year we will be encouraging more interactivity than ever! Host a workshop, share a talent, build art, play music, offer bodywork, share a game, etc! Previous interactivity has included musical performances, petanque + pastis (a French "drinking" game), fire spinning, a fortune-telling ATM, and much more.
​
Bring a tent, van, camper, or RV! If you need help with logistics, please ask! There are a couple of glamping options available for rent; folks flying in and traveling light have glamping priority.
​
As always, there will be a sign-up for mealshare. ​Bring your own labeled cup/dishes/cutlery to reduce waste and clean-up efforts.
