Massive site with hundreds of structures. Mostly abandoned barracks. The site is large enough to support 35,000 troops. Some structures have been removed (i.e. hospital, parts of the East Garrison, etc), but for the most part, it's all there.

Camp Roberts officially began it mission as a replacement training center in March 1941. At that time it ranked with the world's largest military training facilities. It may still be so in terms of training capacity, and so far as it is known features the largest parade ground (the length of fourteen football fields) on any military facility.
Camp Roberts was officially closed by the Army in April 1970. On 2 April 1971, the California Army National Guard received control of the site, under a license from the Army, to establish a Reserve Component Training Center. The site continues to operate in this fashion today, and while reserve component units have priority under National Guard management, military forces from all service branches (and some foreign countries) have trained there. The qualities in the original Army Corps of Engineers study still serve the training needs of the military today, and will continue for the foreseeable future

The site will remain active as a California Army National Guard (and Federal) military training center. However, the abandoned buildings will remain as is for the time being.
