Temecula / Vail Lake KOA | Temecula, CA RV Resort

Enjoy coming here with my family.
For the pass 8 years we been coming. Looking forward in remodeling Oaks area.

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.

We love this campground and all of the improvements they have made.  A playground for the grandkiddos and a few repairs on the roads in the oaks and it would be perfect for us.
I wish they would do away with the site guarantee fee if you are a koa member…it’s already one of the most expensive campgrounds. Regardless, we love it

We travel very often and have stayed at many KOA campgrounds across different states and cities in the U.S., but this KOA is hands down the best one. It now takes first place on my list of favorite KOA locations.

The place itself is incredibly beautiful. The mountains are absolutely stunning. This KOA is located in a quiet, peaceful area surrounded by scenic hills and trees. The silence is truly special — you can hear every rustle, every bird. It feels like complete peace and connection with nature.

The office staff are very friendly and welcoming. The cabin we rented for just one night was exceptionally comfortable, spacious, beautiful, and thoughtfully designed. We especially loved the staircase leading to the second floor. There are comfortable chairs near the fire pit, making it a perfect spot to relax in the evening. The barbecue grill works perfectly.

The cabin has a small, lovely, and very clean bathroom. The bedding was pleasant and comfortable, and the bed itself was very cozy — we slept great. Lavender bushes were growing nearby, filling the air with a soft, calming scent.

Overall, it’s impossible to put into words how wonderful this place is. Don’t even hesitate — this is the best place around, without a doubt.

This place has gone down hill. The staff at the entrance is rude. I checked in with my RV and had an additional car with license plate checked in. We left to go to the store and came back to find out they charged us 20$ to get back in because they said the car wasn't a registered vehicle.  So they just billed the site. Lack of communication among staff members just assuming your stealing from them. Then we had a friend come to visit and when his ride came to pick him up they wouldn't let him in the gate.  This place used to be so friendly and now seems like they are just money hungry and want to charge for every little thing. Rude staff ! Not a friendly place to visit. Upcharge for everything.  This year you cant even bring your own firewood in for your camp fire. They require you to buy theres. Whio does that? I have been coming here for 10 years and have never seen it like this.

We love this place and have been coming here for years. We come durning all seasons but our favorite, we have always came to the 2nd weekend event in October, which is a blast great for kids and adults. This event can feel more like Halloween than Halloween day! With lots to do; Halloween parties, costume party’s, haunted mazes, golf cart decorations and trick or treating at all trailers along with decoration and some spots go all out even if it’s just for a weekend. we decorate our spot every year as well you can find us in the oaks every 2nd weekend!

Just love this campground . Well maintained, lots to do
for the
entire family .  The staff is very helpful as well

Great place for the family. Lots of things to do here. Hiking, riding bikes, swimming, BBQ, party, they have so many activities for the kids and adults.

Worst KOA experience I’ve had. The check-in lady had a poor attitude and seemed annoyed we were even there.

Cabin had no privacy: no locks on bathroom doors, broken/missing curtains, and the “king” bed was definitely not a king. Rodents crawled out from under the cabin and ran over our feet while trying to use the fire pit.

The pool area had no shade.

Also, no clear info that Vail Lake is only accessible by foot or bike. We had to leave and pay extra to enjoy another lake. Total disappointment. Won’t be back.

Campground could be really terrific-but lacks those KOA standards one expects. Huge campground but no one personally directing you to your spot so it is everyone fending for themselves to pull in properly-spots are inconsistent (make sure to ask exactly what you are getting when you reserve it). Not level sites, some without any shade while others are in complete shade all day, some private while others are far less than private, small travel trailers were in huge spots while we were crammed in a very small site with a 40 ft motorhome. We found our stay less than peaceful; neighbors were allowed to take over several sites with children's electric toys, loud music, yelling children and even louder adults partying all day. Again, no privacy. Tried to walk about the park but found it difficult while dodging golf carts driven by inexperienced children and/or crazy electric bikers. No respect for not running, biking or walking with dogs through other campers sites even while they were outside. Fire pit was almost in the next campsite so we couldn't enjoy it. Staff at the front desk was less than helpful. There is a huge bar facility on site and also a cafe. Both looked nice but were empty. Great campground if this is your vibe. Think this could be an outstanding campground if rules were established and sites were assigned with some thought in mind.

This Campground is fantastic! It has extremely large sites, free activities,  paid crafts, mountain bike day trails, a Cafe and a store.. All areas were clean and nice, the staff was pleasant, friendly and helpful!! I tye dyed a tshirt for $15, so fun!! Love this place and will go back for all of this plus the scenery!!

I'd love to stay there but for some reason I can't book online and they never answer the phone. I hear it's a nice place but I really wouldn't know.

Site #331. Very large and very noisy KOA Campground. Large groups gathered at many campsites partying. The weekend we were there, modified golf carts with big speakers were driving around all day and night. Very dusty. Restrooms were OK. I don’t think we would ever camp here again. Not a good fit for us.

This place is very nice,  plenty of fun things for kids and adults. Very big campground with lots of room to wander around and  see birds,trees, and surrounding hills. Trails for bicycles and hiking.
