LOCATION

The tournament is held at the Campbell Community Center on both the track field and the three backfields. There are a number of lodging and dining options nearby for you to enjoy between games. Campbell downtown is a wonderful place to visit. The farmers market takes place Saturday morning, so downtown itself is closed down to walking only that morning. Below is a short list of recommendations and our committee personal favorites!

While Campbell Community Center does have some trees, we recommend bringing tents and blankets for a comfortable shaded viewing experience.

Lodging: 

• Campbell Inn will be one of your closer cheaper options. The hotel is located within walking distance of downtown, has a pool, and the rooms are decent.

• TownePlace Suites by Marriott San Jose Campbell is a bit more upscale. Very similar location - about 1 mile from the tournament location.

Dining:

• We will have a food truck back on-site Saturday and Sunday!
• Water Tower Kitchen is a nice upscale american type restaurant with a large patio a fun atmosphere. A great post-game lunch spot.
• Mo's Campbell is a great brunch spot near downtown Campbell. It's a relaxed environment with classical brunch options.
• Aqui is a fun night-time spot specializing in tex-mex style food and industrial margaritas.
