Lunga Park
----------------------------------------------------------

Lunga Park is nestled along a 420 acre reservoir, located approximately 7.5 miles west of the South Gate to Quantico Marine Base on MCB-4. To get to Lunga Park, exit the Base through the gate by the Marine Corps Exchange. The office and General Store are approximately 1.5 miles past the FBI Academy.

The reservoir’s name comes from the name of the river on Guadalcanal where the Battle of Bloody Ridge was fought. Built in the mid-1950s to serve Camp Barrett and also to serve as a backup for Breckenridge Reservoir, Lunga Reservoir has a capacity of 1.7 billion gallons and covers approximately 420 acres. Pets on a leash are welcome at the Park.

Reservations
----------------------------------------------------------

Tent sites have orange numbers, are first come, first served and cannot be reserved. Upon arrival at Lunga Park, select a site, pitch your tent, and then come to the General Store or office to make your payment. Office after hours procedures are located on a board outside the office. About the only time tent sites fill up are on holiday weekends.

Improved sites can and should be reserved at the General Store or office in person or by phone, 703.784.5270. Check in at the General Store or office upon arrival and make your payment, then proceed to your reserved site, which will have a tag with your name on the number post. Please keep in mind this is not an RV park. You may need extra electrical cord, water hose, or sewer connection for these improved sites. Scope out the sewer port before you park, as these are onsite holding tanks that may need accessed. Lunga Park starts taking reservations for the summer season in February. There is no long-term camping or monthly rate.
