Visitor's Guide
Welcome! Suspense Camp provides a first-rate space for suspension and floor bondage,
staffed by expert riggers. We're located at 7:30 and Bonneville, and welcome
visitors of all sexual orientations and experience levels.
Over the course of the week, we'll be putting on a wide range of events including
performances, classes, and bondage rides. You can see the full schedule
here.
What is Suspense Camp about?
Suspense Camp is dedicated to the kinetic art of full-suspension rope bondage.
Specifically, we do bondage that involves suspending people in mid-air using ropes.
We believe this is one of the most beautiful forms of BDSM, as well as being a tremendous
amount of fun.
The experience of full-suspension bondage varies widely depending on the rigger and the
specifics of the rig. It can be sexy, beautiful, relaxing, meditative, strenuous, excruciating,
or silly. Want to know more? Come visit us: that's what we're here for.
Camp Rules
Suspense Camp hosts a wide range of visitors from a wide variety of different
sub-cultures. In order to ensure that everyone has a good time, we ask all visitors
to observe the following rules:
The Basics
- If one of our friendly but firm staff asks you to do something (including, if all else
fails, to leave), please comply immediately.
- Suspense Camp is an adult experience. Those under 18 will not be admitted.
- We limit attendance by single males. We hate to do this, but experience has shown that
the alternative is a party that's suffocated by guys standing around waiting for action.
No spectators!
Safety
- All of our public areas are drug and alcohol free zones. In addition, we require
that all players be completely sober. If you aren't sober enough to safely and legally
drive a car, you aren't sober enough to play.
- "Safeword" is always considered a safeword, and if repeated will be considered a request
for help beyond the scene.
- Suspension bondage is a highly technical and dangerous activity. While all visitors are
welcome to use our space and equipment, use of our suspension hardpoints is limited to camp
staff and highly-qualified visitors.
Respect
- Suspense Camp is a pan-sexual sex-positive community. No bigotry.
- If at any time anything is making you uncomfortable, please talk to one of our friendly
but firm staff and they will take care of the situation.
- No means no. If you approach someone and they're not interested, respect that
immediately and move on.
- Respect personal space and always ask before you touch. Watching from a distance is
fine, but do not assume just because someone is getting all frisky and stuff that you're
invited to get right in there for a close look. Always respect requests for privacy.
- Because of the intimate nature of our camp, we don't allow visitors to take photos within
our play area. Some of our events will have a staff photographer on hand: if you would
prefer not to be photographed, we will of course honor your request.
- Please practice safer and considerate sex. We will have some supplies on hand, including cleaning
supplies. If in the course of your adventures at Suspense Camp you end up making a mess, please
clean up after yourself. Nobody likes goopy MOOP.
What to bring
In the spirit of radical self-reliance, we encourage you to bring your own bondage gear, if
you have any. We'll provide the following:
- A large, welcoming playspace with dedicated aftercare area
- Secure hardpoints for full-suspension bondage (experts only)
- Numerous attachment points for floor and partial-suspension bondage
- A lockable cage
- A limited amount of loaner rope
- A limited selection of cool bondage gear
If you're shopping for rope before coming to Burning Man, we recommend that you bring a couple of 10-15
foot lengths and one or two 30 foot lengths. We prefer hemp rope with a diameter of 6mm (1/4
inch) or 8mm (3/8 inch), but almost anything that feels comfortable and is easy to tie and
untie will work fine.
