If you need BIG power, look at various power sharing between neighbors. You would be surprised how many idling generators are doing nothing at burning man all day.
If you have placement, check with the neighbors! I know SNOCone Solar around k and 7th usually have opportunities for community power at BRC> they power multiple camps. If you plan to camp near a big placed camp, say a theme camp, then contact them and ask.. do you use commercial power? the big commercial 25K gen sets that big camp use are plenty of power, most of the time. they run 24/7 but unless they are blasting max power, usually idle also. You could pat a small fee for a extension cord run to your camp. Offer of a five gallon can of gas to a neighbor with a gen set gives you a lot of "wiggle room" to run a extension cord their way. as long as you are just charging small devices, using a battery charger to top off you battery for ligths at night, etc. should not be a problem. Also consider SMALL solar. The Black Rock Desert is awesome for SOLAR! You can get a 45 watt panel set for about 150 dollars with coupon. add in a golf cart battery for about 100 dollars, and you have PLENTY of power for a small camp. Cheaper, quiet, not fumes, fire risk, etc. cant go wrong! ( 12 hours sun x45 watts 12vdc = 540 watt hours of sun energy. thats like 2 big batteries worth.
