Are you wondering what it's like to bring your kid to Burning Man and what resources are available for those wanting to make the annual event a family experience?

There are many burner families, #burnerbabies and kiddos on the playa every year. The event has "Kidsville," a village of camps that are kid-oriented or for individual families.

Keep reading for first-hand accounts, guidelines and more.

At Burning Man pregnant, then with a newborn

This is Alysia Crissman's 10th year going to Burning Man. For three of those years, she's been accompanied by her son, Merlin Tibbetts.

Merlin's first trip was technically in 2017, when he was still in his mom's belly. His second trip was last year in 2018.

The toddler is currently at Black Rock City for Burning Man 2019. His mom has already posted pictures of him enjoying the playa.

Read below to find out what Crissman has to say about parenting on the playa.

"People ask me all the time, is it hard to have a kid at burning man? My answer is generally it's hard to have a kid anywhere. But, at least here I'm at Burning Man," Crissman said.

Crissman said having a young child at Burning Man is "a lot of work" for her, but that her husband, Andy Tibbetts, and others at the event are really supportive and welcoming of Merlin.

"He has a lot of people who care for him and advocate for him within this community," she said. "We think it's a really great place to bring up a kid. He gets a lot of real neat experiences and gets to see a lot of really cool stuff. "

She said this year is particularly great because Merlin is more interactive.

"He gets really excited to see things and see people," she said. "He loves waving at people riding their bikes by and hugging people."

Crissman said Tuesday night they all got to ride art cars with a bunch of kids and that everyone had a nice time.

Merlin and his parents don't stay in Kidville. Rather, they camp with friends in a smaller group. Although the playa can be a harsh environment, Crissman said the right equipment helps everything.

"We bring a big camper, so it's not like we're roughing it," Crissman said. "We have air conditioning in our camper here and we don't have air conditioning at our house in Reno."

When asked if she receives backlash for bringing her baby to the event, Crissman said no one has ever said anything about it to her in person. She said after she posted a photo of him at Burning Man in 2018, some people commented that they disapproved, but that's really it.

"We will definitely keep bringing him and as he gets older," Crissman said. "Hopefully he has more awareness and better understanding of the event and will be able to choose his own path of participation and continue to be a part of the community. "

Burning Man 'more kid-friendly than most believe'

Paige Miller-Perez has been to Burning Man twice, one of those with her 3-year-old daughter, Wylie.

"Nothing even (fazed) her," Miller-Perez said via Instagram when asked if it was hard to bring her daughter. The Colorado resident said they stayed in the Kids Camp and that Wylie fit right in and went along with everything.

"It’s far more kid-friendly than most believe," Miller-Perez said via Instagram. "Kids Camp is actually the biggest camp on the playa."

At the site, the two were able to participate in a number of fun activities.

"Oh, we're camping in the desert for a week? Okay. We get to dress up, wear lights at night, and cruise around on the bike? Fun! That guys passed out butt naked in his tent? He must be tired. She just sees things for what they are, and that's exactly how it should be."

Miller-Perez said she feels like 3 was the perfect age to bring Wylie because:

"She was porta potty trained. Since there's no trash services and you have to pack everything out, I didn't wanna stash poopy diapers in my camp in the desert heat all week. She was at the perfect age where what she sees and experiences really molds her perception of reality, and I think this particular experience is a wonderful way to filter her worldview. She's young and malleable enough that it was actually easy to bring her."

Miller-Perez said she's only really received backlash for attending the event with her daughter from people who do not understand what Burning Man is.

"The backlash I received was more ill-advised judgement and misplaced concern," she said.

Miller-Perez said she'd definitely wants to return with her daughter, who is now 5.

"It’s expensive and takes a lot of time, effort and energy to prepare, get out there, and survive it," Miller-Perez said. "So we can’t make an annual thing out of it, but she still talks about it all the time and asks to go back."

Miller-Perez's Instagram account is full of outdoor shots and camping adventures. So what makes Burning Man more than just another camping trip or outdoor experience?

"It’s full-on survival mode, radical self-reliance, in one of the most unforgiving environments in our country. But even more than that it’s a community," Miller-Perez said. "Like-minded individuals there to grow, share, and simply enjoy."

Burning Man safety guidelines for kids, parents

Children have been coming to the event since it began in 1986 in San Francisco, according to the event website.

Those under the age of 18 are allowed at the event, but must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who is over the age of 21. Since 2015, children 12 and under have been able to attend the event for free using a "Kid's Ticket."

The event has its own survival guide for families but stresses the unique environment it presents, adding that parents should attend Burning Man at least once before coming with their crew.

"While it may prove to be one of the best experiences you’ll ever have with them, not every child’s personality and constitution is suited for Burning Man, and not every parent’s dream of Black Rock City includes children," the guide reads. "Parenting is demanding enough surrounded by the comforts of home."

The guide makes plenty of safety recommendations for families and kids to follow, including setting some firm safety guidelines:

Never go outside of the pre-established boundaries in camp.

Never run into the streets.

Never leave camp without checking in first.

Never leave camp without water, goggles, a snack and a dust mask.

Never enter any enclosed space without parent’s approval.

Never get on a Mutant Vehicle without permission.

Never jump on or off of a Mutant Vehicle while it’s moving.

When it comes to babies, the guide reminds parents to keep their newborns hydrated, cover their skin to limit exposure to sunlight, and look for signs of lethargy.
