It pulls every public listing for Art Camps & Events from the PlayaEvents API and works on iPhone & iPad. It is free and open source: https://github.com/Burning-Man-Earth/iBurn-iOS.

Note: Some camp locations unlock after the gates open due to Burning Man Org restrictions. Follow @iBurnApp on Twitter or Facebook for updates and passcodes.
