Temecula-Vail Lake KOA

Friendly staff. Bathrooms a bit run down. Majority of campers have a serious case of RBF. Must be a lot of shoulder injuries as most campers are unable to raise their hands to reciprocate a wave and smile.

Great spot to camp or RV live

We love coming to Vail Lake KOA. It’s only a short distance from home but you feel like you’re in another world. Super nice staff. Spots are easy to get into and spacious. Very popular on weekends - usually booked. We love to come here during the week.

Great KOA sjte

The staff was awesome! Lots to do for the kids. They have icecream a little store and a cozy little bar for the grown ups. There was a guy there redoing the fire pits on his own time and paid for the materials himself. He has already done 15 and there's like 200 to do..  Good luck. They look great!

It was an okay Campground but you have to pay to get in and it was pretty full and I also had a lot of RVs but the part where I was camping out at was a tent only section of the campground so it wasn't as congested as the RV section we had a lot of trees and a dried-up lake bed it also have privacy due to their not being that many tent campers on that section of the camps but on the RV section it was pretty packed had lots of fun even though it rained but I will surely camp out there again

This is not your typical KOA campsite. Although it has a small office area with amenities such as a bar and small eatery (open on weekends only). There is not much else unless you are an avid dirt bike rider.

Close to wine country and to old town Temecula with its' restaurants and bars.

This place is huge. 3 pools that are freezing but the workers said they are installing heaters. Tons of amenities. Mini golf(free) great little restaurant and bar. Store with everything you need. Not far from town if they don’t have it. Bike trails are right next to the park. Fun trails watch out for rattle snakes. Only downside is the kids racing around in golf carts at night.

Great spot, especially for family’s with kiddos!

Really is my favorite KOA to date- can’t wait to bring the family here soon!

Nice campground for tents, rv’s and trailers. There is multiple levels to this place and it’s huge, bring your golf cart. KOA took this place over and is remodeling it for the better. Many amenities for the kids to do also. Bring your bikes, there are trails thru the hills behind campground.

We spent the weekend up in the “Rincon” loop, it was nestled up away from the main group of RVs. It was a perfect spot for the kiddos to ride their bikes and goof around, there is a big loop of about 20+ sites in that area and was loaded with mostly younger families like ours. Also there is a large grass patch in the middle of the loop that is perfect for a volleyball net or a serious corn hole tournament! “Up top” there are a few sites that have very little shade like the one we were in 199-201. The majority of the sites have ample shade and was still tolerable in July heat. It looks like they just recently installed a WiFi tower over by site 199 and but we couldn’t steam any Netflix or any of the such. Cellphone service was also a bit dodgy. Majority of the sites are capable of fitting large RVs we plenty of room between us (30’ travel trailer w/ super slide out) and the next campsites.

Last minute booking... we got a site with no electricity just water and sewer. Got a bit warm but it was manageable. The park has a pool, cafe, and other great amenities. As our site was sort of on the edge of the park, we had no cell signal (our weboost was useless ofcourse).

We enjoyed a 6 night stay at the Temecula/Vail Lake KOA over New Years.  It's a great, yet remote location for exploring the Temecula wine country and a good jumping off point for some fun mountain biking. 

The KOA was pretty crowded during the time we were there with lots of families, kids on bikes, dogs, etc.  We didn't mind but if you are looking for solitude, this may not be the place for you.  The amenities are very worn. Bathrooms looked like they'd not been updated for a long time and decaying recreational facilities like the putt putt, motocross and pool area were unusable.  There was, however,  relatively new pickle ball courts which made it look like the owners are trying to maintain an old and very large property.

Staff was friendly and helpful. There were a number of activities for the kids too.

Overall this was a fun place.

This campsite is definitely kid and dog friendly! My kind of campsite. Pool was clean and open. My son loved the bmx bike trails. Dogs loved the grass we stayed in Chardonnay Mesa some had grass sites. Great amount of trees for shade! Most sites had fire ring and bbq pit. Everyone was extremely friendly! Will definitely come back. Saw blue jays and squirrels! Pics are from campsite #73.

Ideal for family fun. Free mini golf, horseshoes, disc golf and pool area with 3 pools, one specific for kids. Golf cart friendly. This park is very large and has a very good, outdoorsy feel. Lots of hills. Bar, ice cream and pizza shop! No access to the actual lake. So don’t plan on visiting a lake, unless they’ve resolved that issue. Karaoke night!

Great all around campground. If you are new to tent camping this place is great for getting familiar with your gear before you go out and "rough it". Bathrooms, showers, swimming pools, activities for the kids, general store, etc. A little on the expensive side but you will know where your money went once you have arrived. 15 minutes East of Temecula.

We really like this campground. Nice big trees around all the spots. People are friendly and it's like you're in the wilderness
