Rancho Las Flores is used by thousands of Scouts and other
youth groups. It is comprised of 54 acres located on the north end of Camp
Pendleton, just off Interstate 5 at the Las Pulgas exit. The camp is on the
Mission Trail between San Luis Rey and San Juan Capistrano. It has eleven
campsites that have running water, tables, barbecues and campfire rings.
In 1865, early California pioneer Marco Forster built the
Las Flores adobe on Rancho Santa Margarita, near the San Pedro Estancia, a
sub-mission between San Luis Rey and San Juan Capistrano. It was a resting
place for travelers between missions, and it has a National Historic Landmark
on-site with an adobe house that was built in the 1800's. A registered historic
landmark, the Orange County Council, Boy Scouts of
America developed a Scout camp on the property in 1974.
