Best Campgrounds near Inglewood, CA
While Inglewood itself doesn't have campgrounds, several good camping spots sit within driving distance throughout Southern California. Point Mugu State Park has beachfront camping where you can fall asleep to ocean sounds and hike trails during the day. Many campers head to Malibu Creek State Park Campground, which works well for tents and puts you near old movie and TV filming locations. Doheny State Beach Campground lets you camp right by the ocean with easy beach access for swimming and surfing. San Clemente State Beach Campground gives you bigger sites and nice views of the coast. You'll want to book ahead for all these places, especially on summer weekends when locals fill them up fast. Bathroom setups differ between parks - some have regular toilets and hot showers while others are more basic. Some sites give you more privacy than others, depending on vegetation and layout. Trees provide decent shade at most sites, but bringing canopies or tarps helps during hot days. Plan to make reservations months ahead for holidays and summer visits if you want to get a spot. Each place has its own feel, from beachfront to canyon settings, giving you different camping experiences.
