Camp Roberts & Fort Hunter Liggett

There are two major U.S. Army bases located near our Paso Robles hotel. Camp Roberts is home to the California State Military Reserve while Fort Hunter Liggett is the Army Reserve’s largest installation.

Camp Roberts Mission. Camp Roberts has been carefully designed to facilitate the training, mobilization, and security of the National Guard, Army Reserve and Active Component units. These groups are given the responsibility of supporting a wide range of federal, state and community missions. For more information, visit http://www.calguard.ca.gov/CpRbts/Pages/default.aspx.

Camp Roberts Historical Museum. The Camp Roberts Historical Museum is comprised of two buildings. The Main Museum, which was originally the headquarters for the Red Cross during WWII, and the Museum Annex, a WWII post office. The Main Museum features an array of fascinating exhibits that focus on everything from training at Camp Roberts during several wars, the National Guard, the Women's Army Corps, and Camp Roberts’ celebrities. In addition, you’ll find an extensive patch collection, a small reference library, and a video viewing room. An expansive gift shop boasts everything from books and WWII postcards to posters and DVDs. The Museum Annex is home to a collection of vintage vehicles plus exhibits that highlight the Camp Roberts’ stage shows and radio broadcasts, as well as chapels and a WWII office.

California State Military Reserve. Based at Camp Roberts, the California State Military Reserve works with the California National Guard in its Homeland Defense mission in two ways. One, by assisting in training the California National Guard so that the Combatant Commander receives soldiers and airmen who are totally prepared. And two, by helping in the mobilization of this personnel. The California State Military Reserve also provides rapid response teams for the preparation and prevention of all types of threats to California. The California National Guard depends on this volunteer operational force whose members can be called to active duty at any time by the governor.
