Amador County, California is in the heart of the Gold Country, where Forty-Niners flocked to find their fortunes 150 years ago. Modern travelers come to enjoy historic buildings, lovely tree-covered hills, rich wine country, antique shops and a wide array of outdoor recreational opportunities for every season.
One of the great things about the Joshua Fest is the setting, and what a better way to enjoy it than by camping in its midst.

General Camping Information
Camping at Joshua Fest is festival-style camping, meaning that there aren't designated 'campsites' - you just pick a spot in a grassy area and pitch your tent. However, unlike many other festivals, the camping area is inside the festival gates, which means you're much closer to all the action, day and night. Also, there's plenty of space to park your RV, we just don't know yet about electricity & water hookups.
There are several bathroom and shower facilities within the festival grounds. These permanent facilities are relatively new and clean, and better than what you would find at most campgrounds.
Camping Fees
All 3-day ticekts include free tent camping. However, RV camping is not included, and RV passes must be purchased separately. You can buy RV passes online.
There is plenty of room at the fairgrounds, and very unlikely that the tent camping areas will fill up. However, RV space is limited, and we recommend making a reservation for a full-event RV pass.
