All The Stuff You Really Need To Know Before Arrival!!!
ABOUT THE EVENT
If’n you don’t know by now, The Good Luck Campout is a big 20 year anniversary party for The Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit. We are inviting a bunch of our favorite bands from over the years, and all our families, friends, and fans to join us for a couple days in the woods. Expect music most all day Friday and Saturday, with a preview concert Thursday if you got the Early Entry Ticket, and a Sunday Morning Send-off concert to see folks off down the road.
ABOUT THE GROUNDS
-The Campout resides on the historic Oddfellows High Sierra Camp (now known as Three Links Camp). The Campout features multiple camping areas. With the exception of the reserved RV Hookup spots, and the grid Area A, the camping areas are non-designated open camping areas. If you can fit your car and tent, then that constitutes a spot. Spots in each Area are first come, first served, depending on your designated ticket Area (A, B, C, or D).
-The camp has 4 permanent public restroom locations, plus a shower room, and additional portable toilets will be on site for the Campout event. See accompanying map.
-The camp includes a pool which will be staffed by a lifeguard during set pool hours. There will be a medical outpost with trained medical crew on site for minor issues that may arise. The camp is home to a disc golf course should you be in the mood for some sport. There are Mountain bike trails across the highway down Lyons Reservoir road, and there are various fire roads to take walks on.

Official 3 Links Campround policy is the gate closes at 6:00 pm. If you arrive after that, you will need to wait for our security team to assist you with entry.
Most Important Reminder:
To bring your car into the actual campground you must have purchased an on-site vehicle reservation ticket (the “Donkey” ticket), with the designated Area you purchased marked on it. If you only purchased an adult camping pass (the “Monkey” ticket), and you are camping with someone that has a vehicle spot, but arriving in a separate vehicle, you will park in the overflow lot and take the shuttle into campground to your party’s spot. If for some reason, you have yourself the “Monkey” ticket, but no campsite to go to, you need to reach out and find a friend to crash with!
Area A is for parking in the 10x20 foot spots. Campground rules require cars to BACK IN to spots to comply with emergency protocols. There are some spots that are a little longer but they are first come first served. There are some spots in Area A that are adjacent to 30 amp RV outlets. Campers are welcome to tap in if you have the adapter but we ask that you please share with any neighbors who might need to charge a device or something.
Area B is for single vehicles, no trailers. Campground rules require cars to BACK IN to spots to comply with emergency protocols. Car-camping, tent camping, cab-overs, and camper vans are A-OK. Multiple tents plus a car will fit in the spots in this area.
Area C is for parking on site adjacent to the Walk-in area. Campground rules require cars to BACK IN to spots to comply with emergency protocols. Also please park as tightly but safely as possible in the designated area to save space. Area C is cleared tent areas but otherwise undeveloped. Plan accordingly with chairs, folding tables, whatever you want that you can carry from your car.
Area D is a combination of a few reserved RV spots and the rest is intended to be open car/tent camping. Campground rules require cars to BACK IN to spots to comply with emergency protocols. Class C RV’s and very short trailers are ok. There are some dry camping spots and some hookups in this area, but except for the 5 reserved spots, it is all first come first served. Please only take up as much room as you need. If you happen to park next to one of the 30 amp RV outlets, you are welcome to use it if you have an adapter, we just ask that you share with any neighbors who might need to charge a cell phone.

IMPORTANT: New Site Regulation regarding cooking at your campsite: To use a propane burner at Three Links Camp, you need a California Campfire Permit, which is free and can be obtained from the US Forest Service (.gov), BLM, or CAL FIRE offices, or online at PreventWildfireCA.org.

OTHER IMPORTANT FESTIVAL NOTES
The Good Luck Campout is in the mountains, and where there are mountains, there are slopes! There are two venues on site! The main stage (Tioga) is at the bottom of the hill, and the second stage (Cow Track) is at the top of the hill. There will be limited shuttle service between venues for folks that might need a lift or are otherwise physically challenged. But please be aware, we are in the mountains and it’s dirt roads and hilly. You will definitely be able to get your steps in!
Also, in the mountains there are critters! Please keep food put away as best as possible. Locking coolers or portable food lockers/boxes is always a good idea.
The Tioga Stage features a wood chipped general admission area in front of the stage, please plan accordingly with tarps, blankets, and low back chairs.
The Cow Track Stage features general admission backless bench seating in front of stage with standing room/chair room behind that has been recently covered with a gravel bed. Please plan accordingly with lawn chairs, stadium seats, blankets, tarps, padding, etc.
The exhibition Wiffle Ball game will take place in front of the Tioga stage on Saturday at Noon. Campers will NOT be able to claim spots in the Tioga stage area until after the Wiffle Ball game concludes.
See attached Schedule for when all your favorite acts are playing.
Study attached map to familiarize yourself with bathroom and medical tent locations.
Elevation lines are not printed on the map. The Tioga Stage is the lowest part of the camp. The Cow Track Stage is the highest part of the camp.
