Overall great experience. The faucet in our bathroom seems be stripped and difficult to find the perfect position so it doesn't drip. No hand towels were left in the main bathroom but we made day. Overall love our stays and keeps us coming back every year.

Great time but had to leave early due to weather since our site had bare dirt We didn't want to pack up in the mud. Appreciate the road to the lake and that there are restrooms there. I would love to see the drink cart year round, hot chocolate and spiked cider! Ability to check in without going inside Please streamline golf cart rental. Less paperwork and more affordable. Thank you

Wish the food was better. It tasted like warmed out microwave meals. Aside from that we loved it!

Great time at Vail KOA. The band Barnyard Boyz was awesome very talented. We liked all the food from the village restaurant breakfast burrito, nachos, pizza and ice cream. Although it could have been a bit cleaner, tables wiped and floor sweep and mopped. Bar had a great selection and priced well. Thank you Vail KOA we will be returning.

Loved our site on the mesa :)

We stayed in the new Arroyo area. It was the first weekend open, so you can tell it needed more work. The spots were not flattened. There were big rocks and uneven dirt with big tractor marks. We left a day early. We love staying in the Chardonnay area so it was a big difference. All in all, we will be back but book in a different area.

Stayed in the newly renovated Arroyo section and it’s coming out great, can’t wait for the whole thing to be finished

Our site was not ready, as in they were still constructing them as we arrived. There were no signs, roads didnt make sense. The gravel pad for rv was very uneven. The actual area for our stay was just loose uneven soil with large boulders we kept tripping on the whole time. I asked front office to be moved, was told it was all booked up, but the whole weekend many spots were unfilled.

Always a great time at KOA Temecula. Love all the new renovations to sites and fun activities for kids.

We had another great experience at Vail Lake. It is definitely one of our favorite destinations!

The park is lovely but the deferred maintenance is very sad. The roads need more than anything else. Next would be the showers and restrooms. Oh my! It seems that the priorities need to be reviewed! Building patios instead of reparing roads seems backwards. Also - the asphalt installed at the entry several years ago needs a slurry seal before it too fails. Sigh.

Always great. Vail Lake KOA is the perfect getaway. Bringing our golfcart is the best to get to the store, pool, just drive around and see the other sites with our pup. Also to see the great bands on the wknds. Just disappointed it’s a DJ for Friday evenings. Hoping that’s just temporary for now.

We have been coming to this campground for many years, and we love staying in the Chardonnay section. However, I'm very unhappy about the fact that you're improving all the areas of the campground except the Chardonnay. The road is almost undriveable, the power posts are so bad (and only 30 amps) that we have to use a bungee cord to hold the power plug in and the wifi is spotty.

Vail Lake KOA is continually improving and adding upgrades to its campground. So wonderful to visit each time. Very qui.et in the Chardonnay area midweek during February. Love the close proximity to Temecula Old Town and numerous wineries for day excursions. Anxious to book a patio campsite next time.

We stayed one night during a long road trip. Our site was up on the hill and we had a beautiful sunrise over the mountains. One critique, a visible sign for the office would be helpful. Lady at the gate directed us to the office, but we weren’t sure if the gift shop was the office. Also, the window tint made us think the gift shop was closed. Campground is great!
Feb 13, 2026
Stopped for one night on our way through. Excellent pull-through patio site! Wish we could have stayed longer.
Feb 12, 2026
grounds and facility well kept courteous helpful staff always love our stay!!!

Our Group has been coming to Vail Lake for about 6 years or so. Each time it has been a pleasure and Easy to get situated around each other when office staff understand and work with us. Still the power monuments up on Chardonnay are challenging at times. Staff that come by are always friendly and we miss the drink cart lady! Notified that the Arroyo was open but it was still blocked off??
Feb 11, 2026
Too expensive. Showers need upgrade. Roads are terrible . Very unlevel spaces
Feb 11, 2026
Friendly staff, easy check in process and clean sites. I’ll be back!
Feb 10, 2026
Great campground. Wish they offered a kids playground and had jacuzzis. Also the putting golf course needs to be renovated.
Feb 10, 2026
Our stay was excellent! Sites were spacious, clean, and the views were spectacular! The staff and amenities were great.

The staff is great and the sites are very nice.

The best campsite ever.. love Vail lake
Feb 09, 2026
We come here every year with a group and we rent out the Rincon loop. The mountain bike trails are phenomenal. We also enjoyed having the golf cart.. but I do have a few recommendations: please repay the road around the grass field in Rincon. Please add 50 A hookup in Rincon loop.. please fix basketball hoop it's was crooked
Feb 09, 2026
I enjoyed my stay, but it is very hard to reach the facilities if you do not have a car. The cost for golf cart rentals is too high to be a viable option for a senior couple. I would recommend you impliment an on-demand shuttle service to transport campers to the store, cafe, bar, pool, etc. You would get more business and the campers would enjoy more of what you have to offer.

First time here, was super impressed with everything there is to do. Shaded everywhere you go, a great camp ground. Having restraint on sight was great, store was huge. Close ro downtown but far enough away for no traffic noise. Easy to see by both weekends we were there all the locals also love it no may out of state plates during the weekend. We will be back for sure.

Very beautiful, serene campgrounds. Staff were professional and had good customer service experiences with the staff. The only small issue is that some of the showers and bathrooms could use some updates. The mini-golf also need some new outdoor grass carpet. The store, restaurant and bar were a big bonus and very enjoyable. � We really enjoyed our stay and will be back. Our favorite KOA so far

1st time at Temecula KOA, last stop of a 21 day trip. Although this was at the end of our trip, after having stayed here we will make it a destination stop in the future. Our disappointment was we wanted to reserve the same sites for the same time in 2027 and were told Feb 20027 reservation are not available at this time.

The facility is wonderful. We stayed in a cabin and had a few issues. The dishwasher wasn't emptied, a used coffee pod was left in the coffeemaker, and the TV in the living room required a pin. Someone came to fix it and updated Roku but it never worked. The ice maker also didn't work so we had to buy ice. We were in RC01.
Feb 06, 2026
Beautiful facility and only about ten other campers there so very quiet with the exception of being put in a site next to a camper with three dogs. The dogs were always outside in their fenced yard but every time we stepped out of our RV or car, we were met with barking and it definitely takes away from the beauty and tranquility of your campground. Nice people working at this clean park.

Plan to return next year

Overpriced. If I’d paid $15 it would have been fine. I’ve come to expect much more from a Koa. Admittedly this is the first time I’ve tent camped at a KOA, previously I’ve been in my Roadtrek. The bathrooms were mostly clean but very dingy, old and cold. It took a long time to get hot water. The tent camp felt like the low rent district, which I guess it is. But I didn’t get my money

We stay here as a group a couple of times a year and we love it! There's lots to do and so many different areas to camp in. We have our favorites in different areas. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here for my prop motocross race at Paula raceway and honestly no regrets. I heard fox shut off the water for privateers (I am a privateer) 🤣 so I am 100% glad I was smart enough to keep my main rig here. Temecula is beautiful and I'm glad I got a chance to explore. Temecula KOA at Vail Lake gave me and my team the opportunity to do this so thank you!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Vail Lake is one of my favorite places in the Temecula area to relax and unwind. The grounds are clean, well-maintained, and the overall environment is peaceful and welcoming. It always feels safe, making it a great place for families, couples, or anyone looking to enjoy some time outdoors. The property has a charming general store that is convenient and adds to the campground atmosphere. There is also a really cool ice cream shop that serves delicious treats along with a variety of food items, making it easy to grab a snack or meal without leaving the property. The bar is another great feature, offering a fun place to relax and enjoy a drink after a day of exploring. Whether you are camping, fishing, or simply looking for a quiet getaway, Vail Lake offers a clean, relaxing, and enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice escape in the Temecula area.
