WELCOME BURNERS!

WELCOME!

You can find us at 1615 E 2nd St, Reno, NV 89502. Take the Glendale / 2nd St exit off Highway 395, head west on 2nd St, and look for the white building on your right (near the Maverick gas station).

Important Info for Large Vehicles

Our space is compact, but we can still make room for big rigs! If you’re coming in an RV, box truck, or towing a trailer, here’s what to know:

  • Big vehicles welcome: We can fit up to two RVs or box trucks at a time, including rigs up to 36 feet long (and sometimes longer during slower times).

  • Trailers welcome: There’s no pull-through for trailers, but don’t be afraid to come on by if you are comfortable backing out of our lot when finished filling.

  • How to park: Pull straight into the lot and drive all the way back, putting your nose to the white shipping container at the back of the lot. Leave enough room in front of vending machines for customers filling their bottles, and leave space next to you for a second RV or truck. If possible, leave the some parking spots open for your fellow burners arriving in cars.

  • Full Lot: If the lot is full, just stop by and chat – we’ll get you situated in line.

We can’t wait to see you, and we’re so grateful to still be a part of so many burns!


Burning Man Prep

We’re excited to help you stay hydrated on the playa! Here’s how we can help:

24/7 Self-Fill Stations: Bring your own containers (up to 5-gallon jugs or 7-gallon Reliance cubes) and fill anytime at our outdoor vending machines any time. Choose Alkaline or Purified WaterNote: We do not have a washing station—please scrub bottles in advance.

Pre-Order for Peace of Mind: Order bottles or drums ahead of time and we’ll have everything waiting for you when you arrive.

Hose Fills for RV’s and Drums are available during business hours.

How Much Water Do You Need? Burning Man recommends a minimum of 1.5 gallons per person, per day. Many Burners bring 2+ gallons/day to be safe.

Important – When you arrive:

  • Hose Fills: Our hoses average 5 gallons per minute and there may be a line. Give yourself plenty of time for large fills.

  • Come Prepared: Have your vehicle ready to fill – know where your inlets are and have your drums and bottles clean and in place, ready to go.

  • For drum pickup: clear a path to your predetermined drum location so we can load and fill in place. Place drums over or in front of your rear axle for balance—they’re heavy and can tip your rig (even big trucks!).

  • RVs: Locate your water inlet and double-check that your drains are closed.

We can’t accept used containers, but you can recycle them here:
