RV Reviews

You got History wrong! The adobe you have named Bunkhouse Bar is actually Mr., Vail's hunting cabin. The wood portion of the building, with the restrooms, was added my Kaiser when Butterfield Country RV Park was built. The larger adobe you use as a KOA-s office is the Bunkhouse that the cowboys staired in when Mr. Vail was on hunting trips.

Great stay. Very very cool place for kids and family we loved our time. We stayed in the arroyo section. Only downfall is internet in that area didn’t work!! Hopefully they can get that figure out

This is a hidden gem! Lots of campsites, just book ahead. Great gift store, staff were so nice, great bar and cafe. Live music on Friday nights. Will definitely be back!!!

I was unaware that there was construction going on in the area that I booked my campsite. I also was unaware that there was absolutely no network connectivity and there was no Wi-Fi and there's no cable and there's no television over the air. It looks like it's going to be lovely when it's finished.

Very nice and easy. Well kept grounds. Your electrical hookup’s could use an upgrade. Thank you

Very grateful that some campsites in Arroyo Seco were made available for the SoCal MTB races. The campsites were opened a little before they were ready but I am thankful that I was able to get a site. The new restrooms/showers are top notch. Arroyo Seco camping area will be awesome when finished.

We tent camped in an RV hook up spot in the Oaks loop. The loop had beautiful tall oak trees. The bathroom had flushing toilets, soap and paper towels but no mirrors. The showers had hot water with good pressure and hooks and shelves in the stall. So the bathroom was not glamorous but adequate, a step above a state park situation. The location was pretty and the “village” looked fun.

It’s always a good time at Vail Lake. The recent upgrades to campsites are nice! Thank you to all the employees for making our stay so much fun.

The campground was very well maintained and all the staff were friendly and helpful.

We stayed in one of newly renovated sites in the Arroyo loop. I wasn't crazy about the large rock used in the site but I am glad to see the improvements being made. The new bathroom facility is very nice. I hope there are plans to do the same across the entire campground.

We had a great experience! Clean, exciting, friendly (except for maybe the guy at the entrance) and fun! Thank you, we will be back again

Pretty expensive but really nice

The men's shower facilities at the Lower Merlot need to be fixed, otherwise great time!
Feb 23, 2026
It's a mix of old and new right now. The new cabins look great and some of the site with the hardscapes are nice but the new Arroyo site are underwhelming at best and the bathroom facilities in Chardonnay are very run down. Not sure what the investment strategy is but in my opinion it is not aligned for campers and RV'ers.

Just wish I was younger to use all this campgroung has to offer. Stayed is a patio site with a fireplace and enjoyed the stars. Amazing that being this close to Los Angles.

We had a great time over the holiday weekend. Easy in easy out, friendly service. How can we stay updated on the improvements? It’s looking good the pads that have been renovated.. hopefully it will continue. Will be back.

It’s always great time. We look forward to our stays.

Had a great time as usual! Staff is very kind and accommodating
Feb 19, 2026
Staff was super friendly and accommodating. It was raining and the bathrooms were located down a muddy hill so we asked to move. The bathroom was the worst bathroom I had ever seen in ANY campground. Showes had no hooks to hang towels and no bench to put clothes. No mirror? No heat. Not sure if walls had mold or just dirty. I didn't use the facility. I depend on KOA on consistent quality. Not this

Had a fun time as always. The store, restaurant and bar area with live music is a great place to hang out. Went over to the lake and caught a four pound bass. Very fun weekend. ����

Really clean, organized itinerary, friendly helpful staff. Sites are very spacious and nice. Our fave campsite now!
Feb 17, 2026
Love the new campsites with fire pits and patio furniture. Thank you!! Restrooms need some updating. Still, love this place and amenities.
Feb 17, 2026
Always friendly staff. Always have a great time keep up the good work!!!

We always have a great time but please, please, please add more pickle ball courts. There is always a wait. Thanks!
Feb 17, 2026
It was a great four days everybody’s professional but all clean. It’s all neat and I will be back again. Thank you.
Feb 17, 2026
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!
Feb 17, 2026
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 :)
Feb 17, 2026
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.
Feb 17, 2026
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.
Feb 16, 2026
We had another great experience at Vail Lake. It is definitely one of our favorite destinations!
Feb 15, 2026
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.
Feb 15, 2026
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.
Feb 14, 2026
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.

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.
