I believe burners call those "plug n play" camps or "sherpa" camps, where rich people pay butt loads of money to live like royalty on the playa. Some of my veteran burner folks don't really like these groups as they feel they're not the true spirit of the playa. Sometimes, I also think my friends are little jealous they don't have pimped out RV's |
There's a lot of this going on, and true burners don't apparently like these groups at all.
I think the peak of the was Mark Zuckerberg who helicoptered in to his two giant, multimillion dollar RVs (basically luxury mansions in bus form) and they descended out from a ramp on segways and even brought security to stop people getting too close to their camp.
Some however take the line that everyone is welcome and it's another form of elitism to frown upon how someone wants to go to burning man.
I think the main thing that would annoy me is people who have never really been in to the music, going the sherpa route so they can brag about it. Great, if you learn something or it opens your horizons, then sure, but it's the tech CEO types and IG entrepreneurs that probably give it the worst name.
