Campground Reviews

We love this campground and look forward to the continued improvements with the lake. The resort grounds could use a little TLC as well. Some of the roads are in terrible condition. Laundry room in the Oaks had mouse dropping on top of one of the machines, so I suggest better cleaning. I hope that the restrooms will be upgraded eventually too. They were pretty clean but definitely showing age.

I loved the campsite and the park in general but was very disappointed with the no heat in bathroom and it’s condition. Showers had molds on walls, very unhygienic, paper towels were empty and some stalls with no toilet paper. At least one toilet I used had to be flushed numerous times to completely flush it. Poor flush system. Always had to flush the toilets before I could use.

They need a big fire pit by the store bunkhouse area to sit around and longer hours opened cafe and bunkhouse on sundays

Everything was great as usual. My only suggestion, since it is Christmas break for many people, have the store stay open past 5 pm on Sundays.

Vail Lake is my favorite KOA. It has everything you need for parents and kids. It’s kept clean, the staff is friendly, and we love the location. The newly opened vehicle access to the lake is a bonus!

It was a nice campground, although the mini golf and restrooms were a little rough maybe need an upgrade. Our spot, 64, was a little tilted. We would have liked to have been at a different site with a concrete slab where the fire pit was. Everything is very spread out. The snow play area was very small.

Everything was great. The only thing I would recommend is that on holiday weekends like this last weekend, the bar and restaurant stay open later than 2pm. We were in the bar at 1:45 and there was over 20 people in the bar waiting in line.

For our 3rd year staying at Vail Lake KOA. We were very disappointed in the cleanliness of our cabin as well as with so many things being broken. This is an expensive weekend & I expect to come into a clean cabin, not to clean up after who was there before us, having dead bugs stuck to the wall, & lots of dust. They’re also shouldn’t be broken glassware, cabinets, & fixtures

My husband and I enjoyed Vail Lake Campground very much. We are looking for to next year.

Need to work on asphalt roads to many pot holes, there are a lot of children playing around and bicycles and scooters. Someone might fall specially during the nighttime..

This stay had some improvements and some disappointments. The Santa breakfast was much better, the kids were actually full! However, the activities were a bit of a letdown. There was no candy cane night hunt, no scavenger hunt, and the village was “sold out” of a lot of the crafts, even though we were the first there. The laundry in the Oaks was all broken, and Chardonnay also had 2 machines d

This was our 3rd year with our grandkids and once again we and the kids had a wonderful time, the staff is great and always ready to help, we love our camping spot. Just the right amount of activities which the kids love. I did notice a number offensive signs and flags that kids should not be exposed to so maybe a policy should be in place for that. Overall great time, thank you

We always enjoy Vail. We were interrupted this time by bike riders riding through our campsites. It would be nice if there were speed bumps and a playground for kids.

Friendly staff, such as Anita, Elizabeth, Miranda, Enrique, Jacob, Linda, Carolyn and others.

Front desk rep not very helpful with questions re activities. Quickly referred us to website. How warm is that? Day 2 wanted to rent golf cart one day, told must be 2 day minimum. We did not rent and enjoy the golf cart. Bathroom and showers need some love. Overall, we enjoyed our time there.

Beautiful campground! Did a bike ride to the lake which was so nice. Christmas decorations all around the campground which added a festive touch. Would definitely come back here!

Great place to camp staff very friendly lots to do Christmas decorations were beautiful and being able to drive to the lake was real nice I hope the stupid people who throw trash and cigarette butts on the ground stay away from the lake it should be open to people camping only

It would be nice to add a few dim lights between the general store and restaurant area towards the sites. Add a few solar on a few fence posts.

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.
