Considerations for Paintball at Camp Pendleton

Before you step onto the Camp Pendleton paintball field, there are some things you’ll want to know. Here’s some helpful information before your first Camp Pendleton paintball experience:

• The directions to the paintball park can be helpful because access to other portions of the base is likely prohibited to you and your party. Remember, this is still a military installation.
• Speaking of access, knowing the base access procedures is important and necessary. The Trusted Traveler program allows civilians access to the paintball fields when escorted by a uniformed service member or government employee with a valid Common Access Card (CAC), a military retiree with a valid DOD identification card, or an adult family member with a valid DOD identification card. It should be noted that things may change for security reasons and that it’s best to call ahead before you go.
• The Camp Pendleton paintball waiver is required to participate.

There is a wide range of scenarios available, a pro shop next door, and options for kids and adults alike. Whether you are a seasoned pro or just looking to get into the sport, there aren’t many, if any, places doing it quite like Camp Pendleton paintball. It’s a great experience and lots of fun.
