Campground Reviews

Apr 17, 2026
Stopped in for a little overnight getaway and it was just what we needed for a recharge. Used the beautiful pools, hiked to see the lake from camp and sat under the stars with our camp fire at night. We tent camped here many many times over the last 20 years and I have to say one of my favorite things Is listening to the coyotes howl from the nearby hills at night.Looking foward to our next stay!

Anita provided "above and beyond" service when we checked in with 2 vans for 2 sites on Monday, March 16. Our first sites in the Merlot section were not satisfactory (too dusty, too open/sunny during heat wave, too many nails on the ground in the campsite). She graciously facilitated our move to the Chardonnay section, which was significantly better for our 7 night stay - quiet, less dusty, shady.

This was a fun place to stay; however the coordinated activities were somewhat lacking. The activities staff didn’t even show up for one and I could see them on their cell phones sitting down in another area at that time. Front desk and cafe staff were both very nice and attentive.

Great venue and great staff. Cabins and campground are spotless and bicycle trails are world class.

Last year we also stayed in a cabin and it was great. This year's cabin had ants and the stove only worked at full blast, even on low. Everything boiled, you couldn't lower the heat. It was a dissapointing stay compared to last year. Not being able to add occupants to the reservation so that the person making the reservation had to be the first one there complicated our trip.

Hi, we stayed in the Chardonnay area and enjoyed it. It was peaceful and relaxing. Staff were friendly at every encounter. One bummer was that had to drive to the dog run in a different section. The 2nd was the cafe. We ordered a pizza. After watching the young ladies laugh about cook times and sweep while food was in the area, I couldn’t order more as a transplant patient. Overall loved it!

I’ve never been to this campground. Checked in and wasn’t given a map or offered an escort to where our site was. This place is too big to miss that important part for guests. Lack of awareness. They knew it was my first time visiting too. I had to call the office after driving around the campground on a Friday afternoon to get someone to help me get to my site.

We stayed at the Chardonnay area, space 80 and 81. Both of these sites need updating such as leveling and basic site improvements. They are extremely dirty. I would like to see them upgraded like other spots in the park. I’m actually surprised that they have not been improved because they are beautiful sites. The bathrooms in this area are sorely in need of an upgrade or a full remodel.

I stayed in one of the cabins for the first time and it was fabulous! Modern, clean and very comfortable. Appreciated all the amenities and well stocked kitchen since I was traveling light. Staff at the gate and front desk were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

We were with a loud boyscout group that should’ve been put together somewhere else. Very loud and too many peeps in the area. The campground is awesome and I will be back. Loved it.

Our stay was awesome the only thing I could say was I was booked at rincon, I called to switch to the oaks to a space close to my family. When i check in the lady at the office told me my space was not reserved since i didn't pay the 35 dollars for the reservation space. I advised I called and spoke with someone why didn't they tell me that over the phone. I would have payed it.

Great place. I just wish checking into the cabin wasn’t so late.

The trash from the previous campers had not been picked up. The dog in a nearby campsite was left barking while the occupants were gone for most of the day. I like the upgrades to the Arroyo loop.

Loved being among the California Oaks with the Woodpeckers, Bluebirds and Scrubjays. We found the campsite friendly and the amenities are very good. I’m giving it a 4 as the public restrooms/showers could be nicer. KOA Vail Lake is perfect for all ages.

The area is beautiful, but the pool was a 1 1/2 mile walk from our camping spot says 3 pools only saw 1 Lots of speeding bikers on the walking area, almost hit a few times The spot was nice

We had a wonderful stay, lots to do. Only thing is to maybe get more then 1 pickleball court and update the mini golf course because it was run down.

Great folks. Love Oak camp. Trees falore. However Oak camp restroom is antiquated, dilapidated. Men's room had holes in the ceiling. ONE hook in shower, floor is in worn shape, and there's No where to sit to undress. One bench in whole room. Sink has no mirror, I guess you they don't want campers to look at themselves. Ps my wife rated her bath at a 2 of 10 for same. Interesting that new are buil.

It was our 2nd visit and loved it just as much if not more this time! Staff was so nice and helpful!

Another great trip. My 3 year old learned to ride a bike over the stay. Will be back again.

Site ok. Staff friendly and helpful. Restroom not clean and shower design/maintenance really bad. Great place to stay if you don't need their shower.

Such a fun week, we loved it. It was hard to navigate when we first arrived, more directional signage would have been great. And I was bummed to see the cafe closed at 4pm, but overall it was a wonderful time.

So great and fun for the kids. Our campsite was perfect, having the campstore and activities so close was also helpful.

It was good, but I wish the restaruant had been opened for dinner.

Great vacation with my family. we rented one of the cabins, and it was great for a family of four. I think the 4pm check in to the cabins is way too late.

As always, our stay was fantastic. We are locals and have tried other places and we always come back to Vail.

Overall good. Golf cart could not get it day one which was a let down and also really expensive to rent. Since the area is massive wish there were more activities at the end. Also would have liked a map with trails you can hike.

We love to his camping spot!! It’s our favorite location and site

Clean and lots of activities

The staff was very friendly and cooperative. However, my biggest complaint was the showers in the bathroom. They were so old and gross that I wouldn’t even use them for any reason. I must say, however, that the commode’s were clean as well as the sinks. There were no mirrors above the sinks or electric outlets.

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.
