Camping


POINT MUGU STATE PARK is located 15 miles south of Oxnard off Highway One in the Santa Monica Mountains. There are two campgrounds, Big Sycamore Canyon and Thornhill Broome Beach, which are open year-round. Giant sycamore trees shade the campground at Big Sycamore Canyon. For reservations, call 800-444-7275.  The park contains five miles of ocean shoreline with rocky bluffs, sandy beaches, sand dunes, rugged hills, and 70 miles of hiking trails. The 15,000 acre park includes the jagged pinnacles of the Boney Mountain State Wilderness Area.

Nearest cities are Camarillo and Oxnard.  Dogs on leashes are permitted in the park, conditions permitting.


Please note that on-site camping at the Rodeo arena is NOT available.
