Temporary Housing

Eligibility

Military personnel or civilian government employees having official Temporary Additional Duty orders are eligible to reserve transient quarters at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. All authorized patrons may use this facility. Active-duty military with permanent change of station orders have first priority for reservations.

All personnel checking into Camp Pendleton are advised to make reservations for temporary lodging at Ward Lodge (hostess house) or billeting (transient quarters) up to one year in advance. There are large numbers of personnel incoming to and outgoing from Camp Pendleton. Single service members are assigned barracks by their new command. The summer months are extremely busy for PCS moves.

Pets are not allowed in temporary housing. Camp Pendleton Base Housing Office has referrals for pet lodging.
