ive been trying to find some pictures of sams town in cameron park that closed in about 2000.
ran across this one it was a nice find as this pic was how i remember it before they started to make "improvements" that eventually put them under. they dumped a shitload of money in environmental games and that stupid encloed thing you got in and did some roller coaster shit it cost like 5$ to use so i never used it.
would love to find more pics but really having trouble locating any.

I went there a couple times, back in the day when I lived in humboldt county, but my step brothers real dad lived in placerville.
We would come and visit and go there to play video games.
loved it!
 
I could never find any either. I loved Sam's Town and had my 11th, and 12th Bday parties there. We used to think it was cool that you could eat the peanuts they gave you on your table and throw the shells on the ground. Sweet.

It was at Sam's Town that I fell in love with SFII. Ahh, the memories.
 
we went there atleast twice a week monday was football/spaghetti night could get a huge plate of spaghetti for 4 bucks. and then we would get dropped off on friday night and were usually there all weekend. when they added the skating ring the place got flooded with high school hotties. i miss the old time candy shop they had too. freakin place was great, the basketball games you could dump a quarter in and run really quick and hold the bar that stopped the balls and could play forever.

hell the old penny peep booth may have been my first look at a naked chick!
