Campground Reviews

Feb 04, 2026
We had a fantastic experience and are actually kind of bummed we didn’t get to explore the grounds more. The staff is great, the grounds were clean, the cabins were awesome, the family activities were amazing. We have already recommend this KOA to friends and family, and plan on returning ourselves.

First time at a KOA and was blown away by everything! So much to do, band, activities, etc. som many campsites to choose from. Everything was kept so nice and clean.

It was disappointing that only one of the women’s out of three in the Merlot section.

Great location, tons of activities. The roads are in horrible condition. Not safe for all the kids riding bikes and not suitable for trucks pulling trailers.

The campground was clean and obviously well-maintained. I was disappointed that it was so crowded. My site was int he sun, so I walked around looking for a shady spot to read my book. Although there were plenty of pleasant shady areas near the creekbed or the grassy field, there were no benches or comfortable chairs to enjoy them. I will not be staying here again.

we camped during the middle of the week, We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet! not as many campers and the ones that were there were very friendly, spent time riding our E-bikes and felt very comfortable riding on the wide asphalt trails. It was a pleasure to wake in the morning and take in the beautiful scenery!

The campground is nice and scenic. The bathrooms are rustic.

I like this location but unfortunately there are several campsites blaring loud music all day and night that is so loud you can hear it from a whole campground away. Adults and kids are zooming around on golfcarts and bike also blasting loud music. the campsite next to me partied all night and at one point a pretty intoxicated guy was yelling loudly and starting a fight with another person.

Great place to stay. Convenient to shopping. Huge place with tons of trails. Definitely will stay again.

Stayed 4 nights. Campground was always kept clean. Staff was nice. Saturday night was a little loud with kids cruising around in golf carts blasting music after quiet hours. We will be back for sure.

We were very impressed with the accommodations and the activities. It was a great weekend get away. I like that the option to fill propane tank was available. Also, anything we may need could be found at the store, and we could purchase wood too.

I wish they spend some money on rehabbing existing structures like the bathrooms and roads. The campsite seems focused on the new cabins but not really maintaining the existing sites.

The site was nice - trees. Roomy site. Loved the market! Something for everyone. Check in was easy. Friendly staff! Huge disappointment was the restroom/shower. No stool or chair in the shower to put your things on. Some showers didn’t even have hooks for hanging clothes/towel. Need paint and wall repair. No one was using the bathroom - I can see why. Many large potholes in the road.

The bathrooms were spotless. The staff were the most helpful staff ever! I been to many campsite. I am very pleased!

Always enjoy our stay at Vail Lake. One issue with this visit, we saw children (under age)driving your rented golf carts too fast. This is a concern and there should be security checking randomly to avoid possible accidents .

Checked in to cabin and found 1 TV remote with no batteries. Also TV would not connect and had to have staff come by 3 times to fix the TV's Ice maker not working in Refrigerator/Freezer.

The first time I stayed in the merlot lot and there was no hot water in the showers. I decided to go back to see if they have done any maintenance to the bike trails and again the showers in the merlot lot were not hot and the bike trails are poorly maintained. They did move me to another spot with hot water but what a hassle.

We like this KOA, but our visit this time had some frustrations. We spent a whole day without electricity. Then after taking down our camp when time to leave, there was no water in the bathroom so I could wash my hands. There was no sign up warning about the water. I had soap on my hands and had to walk back to the campsite to wash it off.

Our stay was amazing as usual. I would like to see the roads in the campground upgraded. There were many potholes this year. This is dangerous to the kids riding their bikes.

We've been coming for years now. We are a little concerned with the increase in traffic. We saw several golf carts driven and filed with other young people. I also didn't like the vehicle traffic on the belly opened road that leads down to the lake. I hope you consider closing it to 4 wheeled vehicles. We come from an area where kids on scooters has become problematic, renting them will not help.

It was wonderful!

Staff, amenities, and campsites were all awesome. We have been coming back for years and each year is better than the last.

The asphalt really needs to be re-paved in the Rincon loop. It’s pretty dangerous. But we love staying there!

Disappointed w/maintenance of grounds, specifically path from Oaks to Village. After falling September 2025 and fracturing wrist which required surgery with plate and nine screws, was told some markings would be added for walking safety. Returned w/family in January found no improvement; not even yellow paint on roadway. This KOA site clearly has no concern to improve walkways for guest safety!!!

We enjoyed our day at the KOA, are only complaints were the amount of towels that were left for us to use for showers. Other than that, we had an absolute wonderful time.
Jan 20, 2026
The campground is spacious. Great for kids. Safe yet kids can have freedom to roam. Bathroom / showers need attention. Ceiling has been falling down for years.

Amazing Cabins and views! Friendly staff and a super fun destination

Enjoy our stays every time. Wish the dog park was a little bigger as there’s plenty of space for a bigger one. The music sat night was awful… more country and less heavy metal. :)

Our family really enjoys the Vail lake KOA. Lots to do and staff go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable!

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.
