The land known as Camp Pendleton has a rich and colorful history that extends over 230 years. At one time Camp Pendleton’s Margarita River was much deeper and wider. Small trading boats actually sailed up the river from the ocean to trade goods behind the base’s Historic Ranch House. When a bridge was constructed so that travelers could easily cross the river the area overlooking the bridge was named Vado Del Rio, or “river crossing."
