[[Camp Snoopy]] is home to the park's family and children's rides, with many of the rides and attractions being built specifically for children and guests who cannot ride the park's more aggressive attractions. Its theme is [[Charles M. Schulz]]' "[[Peanuts]]" [[comic strip]] characters. [[Snoopy]] has been the mascot of Knott's Berry Farm since 1983, and the characters can now be seen at some of Six Flags's parks. For guests who cannot ride the park's more aggressive and thrilling rides, Camp Snoopy contains a good number of rides for guests of all ages including infants, children, and seniors. Except for Sierra Sidewinder, the rides are relatively tame.

Knott's Berry Farm also built the [[Mall of America]]'s indoor theme park, which itself was originally called Camp Snoopy. (In fact, Charles M. Schulz hailed from [[St. Paul, Minnesota|St. Paul]].) However, today the park is no longer affiliated with Knott's or Cedar Fair and is now called [[Nickelodeon Universe]].

On November 22, 2013, Knott's Berry Farm announced major improvements in the area of Camp Snoopy. Camp Snoopy received a makeover for its 30th anniversary. In summer 2014, Knott's Berry Farm opened up new rides in Camp Snoopy.<ref name="KNOTT'S ANNOUNCES MAJOR PLANS FOR 2014"/>

The ride was made shorter with the construction of Silver Bullet. As part of the 30th Anniversary makeover, the train ride received a series of Peanuts vignettes (made by [[Garner Holt|Garner Holt Productions]]) along the track and narration by the character Linus.

Knott's has portrait artists, as well as face painters and caricature artists in two different locations in Camp Snoopy operated by Kaman's Art Shoppes. Portrait artists have a long history at Knott's, dating back to 1951. [[Cabazon Dinosaurs|Claude Bell]], who created the concrete characters on the benches at Knott's, operated the portrait concession from 1951 to 1986. Bell also sculpted the minuteman statue on display at Independence Hall.{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}}[[File:Portrait Artists, Knott's Berry Farm.jpg|thumb|left|Portrait artists and face painting at the north end of Camp Snoopy.]]
