We rent a truck in San Francisco to make camp possible.

• It brings bulky camper stuff from San Francisco to and from playa, such as tents, bikes, and black-and-yellow bins. In 2024 we rented a 16' box truck which was not too full so we have not had to institute official limits on what you can and can't bring.
• It makes a stop in Reno for people getting on and off there.
• It takes out camp trash which includes build team trash and kitchen trash, but no camper trash (campers are responsible for their own moop).

• Bring your items at the loading location in San Francisco in the morning of the Friday before the event - Preferred method

• You can also ship your items to a SF Turtle in advance, and ask them nicely if they can take care of loading your items for you (please arrange with them prior shipping).

• Bring your items at the loading location in Reno in the evening of the Friday before the event or in the morning of the Saturday before the event - Preferred method

• You can also ship your items to a locker in Reno and ask nicely a Turtle there if they can take care of loading your items for you (please arrange with them prior shipping).

Tip: If you plan to be in Reno on Saturday before the event or earlier, join us while we load the truck!
