Lakes of Fire’s site, Lucky Lake Campground, is privately owned and operated by our friend and trusted partners. Comply with all state and local laws, and any reasonable request that our organizers, our hosts, or their employees make of you.

Please be nice to the Gate and Greeter staff. They work very hard to accommodate your needs.
Sorry puppies! There are no pets allowed at Lakes of Fire.
)( CAMPING:
Lakes of Fire has primitive camping. Aside from porta-potties, there are a limited number of fire rings for small camp fires, and several dozen picnic tables. There are no cabins, no food concessions, and no Starbucks. Rely on yourself for your survival.
)( Lucky Lake Campground also includes a freshwater, no-wake, no-gas-motor lake with over a mile of shoreline; catch and release fishing; but no lifeguards, so be well aware that you swim at your own risk.
)( Lucky Lake’s 180 acre site is also equipped with several trails and dirt roads. Bikes are welcome, but be aware: mountain bikes or those with thicker, toothed tires will get around Lucky Lake’s sandy trails and pasture more easily than road bikes.

PLACEMENT: WHERE YOU LAND!
Creating a Theme Camp, Workshop and/or bringing your Art installation is your gift to the LoF community. Your inspiration and commitment is the badge of a true Participant! The Placement Team is here to focus your vision, interpret your needs into physical space, integrate that vision into the landscape, and mark you on the map.
All projects needing placement must register in advance online. You must be placed by a Placement Team member. The Placement Team will contact all artists, educators, and theme camps to discuss space and aesthetic needs, so you can be placed to create a logical and magical flow within the event. It’s in your interest to work with the Placement Team if you have special needs such as sound equipment, adult material, or kid-specific activities. These are also the people you need to contact to get your events for the What Where When bulletin. You will be contacted for details about your listing.
Placement requests will be considered on a first come/first served basis. Someone from your group must be on site by Friday, 6-25, 12:00 noon to hold your reserved placement location. Maps of the land will be published before the event. You’re encouraged to print your own copy and bring it along.
There will be a designated area for RV’s, car camping and quiet vs. loud (sound) camping. In some cases, you will be able to drive your car to deliver your gear, but some areas are closed to car access. Please bring a wagon or many hands to carry. If you require electricity, please bring it. Those requiring extra set up time should discuss their needs with the Placement Team. Theme camps wishing to have sound – even if it’s just a boombox – must advise the Placement Team about the level they expect to have. They will then be placed with consideration to other sound camps and campers. Camps above a certain wattage (tbd) will be subject to special placement.
The deadline for registering theme camps is June 5th 2010. Submit your plans for a theme camp here.
RANGERS: Your friends.
Rangers are participants just like you. They are the eyes and ears of the event, and their purpose as volunteers is to facilitate a positive and safe environment for their fellow participants. Rangers wear khaki clothing with a LoF Ranger logo. They will be walking around during the entirety of the event and are easily flagged down. You can also stop by the central Ranger station, which can be found on the map. Rangers prefer that you practice radical self reliance first and ask them for help second. However, all participants are encouraged to ask for assistance when they need it. Make sure to hug Rangers as they pass by your camp. That way you know they aren’t just a robot army.
As we prepare for this years Lakes of Fire event we are hoping to get as many ranger volunteers as possible trained and ready to participate. If you are a currently trained LoF Ranger or BRC Ranger you can skip straight to picking your shifts (see end of note). If you are new to Rangering, there are three opportunities available for training; two are LoF specific and one is a full Black Rock Ranger training for the big burn in the desert that also includes a Lakes of Fire primer.
Lakes of Fire event ranger training is a separate training from BRC Ranger. The session is about 2 hours and covers a wide range of topics designed to prep you for the LOF event but it does not certify you to ranger at Black Rock City. If you attended a Lakes of Fire Ranger training in 2009, you are welcome to attend again this year but it is not mandatory that you do so.
Below are the dates, times, and locations for trainings:
Friday June 18th
7:00 P.M. – -9:00 P.M.

Once you choose the best training option for you please RSVP to email drshoebocks@comcast.net and let him know the date and location of the training you will be attending.
For 2009 Rangers and current BRC Rangers who want to come straight in to volunteer please also email him at drshoebocks@comcast.net and we’ll get right to scheduling your shifts.
