What Each Housing Office Can Help With

Camp Pendleton has thousands of family-housing units in multiple areas. Waiting time changes by home size and season, so advance applications are encouraged. For questions, call 760-725-5995.

Planning Your Move

Housing eligibility can depend on assignment, rank and family size. A housing office can also explain local rental options if an on-base home is not ready. Starting early gives you more time to compare choices before your report date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I contact housing before I arrive?

Yes. Calling early can help you understand the application, documents, home size and current waiting list.

What affects the size of the home I can get?

Family size, dependent information, rank or installation policy can affect bedroom eligibility. The housing office gives the final guidance.

Should I keep an off-base housing option in mind?

Yes. A backup plan is useful until the housing office confirms that a military home will be available when you need it.
