Hello Campers!

It’s a new year and a new approach to camp reservations. Camp Silverball is popular and it’s getting harder and harder to ensure a fair way for everyone to have a chance at getting a spot each year. So this year we are going to move to a lottery system and do away with our first come, first serve approach to snagging a campsite reservation. With us selling out in under a minute, asking folks to get a form filled out is no longer easy nor fair.

So starting this year, we will open a camper waitlist on March 1st and will hold a random drawing on March 14th that will include everyone on the waitlist that has registered over the two week period. We will work through the lottery winners in order of drawing until all the spots are filled. Later, if spots open (for example, someone has to cancel their reservation), then we will draw another name from the list. The waitlist will remain open until the week before the show, just in case any additional spots open. Everyone now has two weeks to get your name on our waitlist, no need to panic about only having 30 seconds to get your name registered.

As a reminder, we expanded Camp Silverball last year and it now extends to the north end of the parking lot. This new quieter area doesn’t have water or electrical hook ups but is still close enough to all the action. We should be able to fit everyone if some folks are able to camp off grid in this expanded area. Specific campsite assignments will continue to work on a first come, first serve basis. Our camp host will ask you as you check-in at Camp Silverball HQ if you want the party or the quiet area of camp and then you will pick an open spot from the host’s list in that area. Once one area fills up, then folks will have to accept a campsite in the remaining area.

And finally, for all you tent only campers, we had room for all of you last year. Sign up on the waitlist just like any other camper and select Tent Only camping and you should get a spot in our general tent area (requires you to park your vehicle in the parking lot).


Keep your eyes open for updates on our socials and website, we will be posting the link to the waitlist on March 1st!

Reservations for the 2025 show will open on March 15th, at 9am PST!

Unfortunately we have reached capacity for our campground. Every year we get a few cancelations, so please feel free to submit a request and we will work through our waitlist as space becomes available.

Come camp at our show!

The Lodi Grape Festival Grounds is located in San Joaquin County on Highway 99 just north of Highway 12. Guess what? About a stones throw from the Golden State Pinball Festival lies an RV park. We like to refer to it as Camp Silverball. Click on fairgrounds map to the right to see proximity.

Imagine spending the weekend with a bunch of like-minded pinball enthusiasts right outside the doors of the Golden State Pinball Festival!

The demand for spots is high every year. In an effort to make it fair for all, sites cannot be selected ahead of time. Your paid reservation simply guarantees you a spot. You can pick your campsite upon check-in.

You will pick your campsite upon arrival at Camp Silverball. Also note, there will be no saving of sites for other fellow campers. This is truly a first come, first pick model to make it fair for everyone! If you want to ensure you are camped next to friends, arrive together.

If you pre-register, you will pay online with a credit card. If you are not pre-registering and hoping a site is available and fits when you show up, we will collect upon check-in via credit card.

When you pre-register, we will send you an invoice that you can pay via credit card online. This will be non-refundable. Give us up to 48 hours to invoice you once you submit your reservation request. We highly suggest pre-registration as we expect these sites to go fast!

A standard site will be $50 a night per RV (regardless of hookups) and if you want to camp with a tent and park your car in the general admission parking lot, it will be $25 a night per tent to camp in our Tent only area.

You will be sent an email and be directed to a secure, online web page that will allow you to enter your payment information. We will need your response within 72 hours in order to hold your site. Unfortunately, at this time, if you don’t have access to email or credit card, there will be no way to reserve a campsite.

We are strictly first come first serve. If you want to ensure your are grouped together, come early and come together.

Water and electricity only (where available). The facility doesn’t have picnic tables, fire rings, or sewer connections.

Yes, you may bring a grill or BBQ and prepare food at your campsite. However, no wood fires are allowed and the grill must be contained and dedicated for cooking.

Unfortunately, fires are not allowed.

You may check-in as early as noon on Thursday and must check out no later than noon on Monday.
