OUTDOORS & ADVENTURE | SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Planning your trip to Ventura's Point Mugu State Park
BASICS
Reservations are a must at both campgrounds. Contact Reserve America, (800) 444-7275, www.reserveamerica.com. Check for last-minute cancellations. You can't reserve a specific campsite. A ranger will assign one upon arrival.
Sites 2, 15, 17, 18, 20, 22, 25, 29 and 32 at Sycamore Canyon are under shady sycamores.
At Thornhill Broome, most of the sandy beach turns to rock before reaching the surf. If a straight sandy shot to the water is important to you, request a site near the southern end of the campground.
DRIVE TIME
Point Mugu State Park has several entrances, but the campgrounds are close to 9000 W. Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Sycamore Canyon Campground is half a mile inland from that address. Thornhill Broome is two miles north of Sycamore. Plan on 70 minutes of driving to reach the park from downtown Los Angeles.
