12:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Event Description
NOTICE: While our special permit with the US Forest Service is currently being given the OK, we continue to closely monitor the COVID and the Forest Closure/Fire situation.  As this is an outdoor event, we anticipate being able to follow all current and future county guidelines as well as those followed by the US Forest Service.  However, if the situation deteriorates, the USFS does have the right to disallow the event for unforeseen circumstances such as COVID protocols or Fire Restrictions/Forest Closures.  We will keep everyone in the loop in a timely manner if necessary.  

In the unlikely event of the USFS cancelling the event, your registration fee will be rolled over to the 2022 Mount Laguna Trail Fest.  No refunds will be issued. 


General Description of the Event: 

Join us for a lively yet intimate gathering of our trail loving friends riding rad bikes, sitting by the fire, sleeping in tents, and sharing good times presented by ZOIC Clothing.  Ride the beautiful rolling meadows and woods of Big Laguna Trail with a guided group or explore on your own.  Velofix will be camping with us to keep things running smoothly.  Kid's MTB fun to be arranged by Sprockids San Diego and optional clinics by Ninja MTB Performance can be added to your registration. Shuttles will be provided by Trek Bicycles and will pick up registered riders in Pine Valley after their plunge down Noble Canyon. Sit in the shade and soak in the Mount Laguna vibes at El Prado Group Camp with a cold Sierra Nevada beverage for those over 21.  REI will be joining us for some added fun.  Alter Experiences will be setting up some tree tents for the ultimate relaxation in the trees. Other surprises to be announced as we get closer.

CAMPING OPTIONS: Camping at El Prado Campground or Horse Heaven Campground is included in a Full Festival Pass for Friday and Saturday nights.   We hope you will stay with us both nights. Please let us know during the registration process which nights you plan to camp at El Prado Campground or Horse Heaven Campground.

El Prado Group Campground is close to the action and consists of 5 camping areas with plenty of room for your tent set up.  All camping in El Prado is first come, first served in designated group camp areas.  Vans or small campers are acceptable but there is no room for motor homes or trailers in El Prado Campground for this event.  Because of the layout of the area and as parking is limited, we may need to ask you to park your car away from your camp area but still within El Prado Campground.  

Horse Heaven Group Campground is located approximately ½ mile from El Prado Campground. Access the venue area by hitting Lightning Ridge Trail and then through Mount Laguna Campground to El Prado to join the fun.  Ideal for those wanting a quieter option or space for extended family or larger groups of friends. A small number of trailers or motor homes under 25 feet may be accommodated. No hookups. 

PARKING:  Parking is very limited at both camp areas. A  parking pass will be supplied to all Full Festival registrants by SDMBA upon check in.  No cars can enter El Prado Campground or Horse Heaven Campground without a parking pass.    

Day Pass holders will need to plan to park remotely (examples: Mile Marker 19/Sunset Trail Head, Penny Pines, Agua Dulce, Red Tailed Roost;  Adventure Pass required for some areas) and ride into the venue at El Prado Campground. See detailed map for alternate parking HERE.

Attendees are responsible for bringing all necessary camping equipment to ensure a comfortable and safe stay. While some food is provided with registration, attendees are responsible for bringing the majority of their own food to meet their needs.
