Campsite was clean, nice facilities. Good place to fish and take long walks. Unfortunately, only stayed 1 of 2 nights. Low flying aircraft every 5 minutes from 8pm to after midnight. Very loud and impossible to sleep.

My departure date from Lake O’Neill changed several times at the last minute, and the staff couldn’t have been more understanding. Ashley, in particular, went above and beyond to help me out — she was patient, kind, and genuinely cared about making things work. Her professionalism and positive attitude made a stressful situation easy. Top-tier customer service and solid facilities.

Great RV place to camp around the lake, Lake O'Neill, with lots of shade, nature, & wildlife, located inside the Marine Base, Camp Pendleton California.

We enjoyed our time here. The campsite for tents is spacious and there is plenty to do, kayak, fishing, walking the trail, miniature golf, bike ride. There is a shower and clean restrooms. I do wish there was better enforcement of a quiet hour tho around 10 or 11 pm.
