This camp layout is for the purpose of allocating enough space for structures, vehicles, tents, etc. The actual location of cars, trucks, and sleeping tents when we get there will likely be different. Click image for larger picture.

Camp Layout - We have been allocated about 25,000 square feet on Esplanade near 6:30. Our space will be approximately 100 feet x 250 feet. See city map.
Up front there is the open-to-the public Amphibia tent – a 65-foot diameter, 16-foot high radial dome that looks somewhat like a giant jellyfish with a 32-foot tall tower in the center of it. See photo of tent model at http://zenzibar.com/amphibia/amphibiastructure.htm Within the dome will be a jungle themed space full of couches. We hope to be allowed to have some live plants (See our plan for managing live plants on the playa). There will be a small stage and movie screen. We plan to have a misting system in part of the space and maybe a fountain. The central tower will have a ladder up to an observation platform about 24 feet up. The Amphibia structure will be a large and unique structure that will stand out along the Esplanade day and night. Directly behind the dome will be our camp kitchen/dining room which will be about 800 square feet under roof. The power generation station will be right behind the kitchen. Behind that will be our shower setup and evaporation pond. We plan to ring the camp perimeter with vehicles (except for the street frontage) leaving the remaining space available for sleeping tents. We will have one driveway or access path so that late arrivals can get their cars into camp.
