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.
Operation Hours

Lunga Park is open year round for camping, fishing, and picnicking. We do all reservations out of the General Store.
