Best Campgrounds near La Mirada, CA

The greater La Mirada area has several solid camping spots within driving distance. Point Mugu State Park gives campers both beach and mountain settings in one location. The park has spots for tents and RVs with basic amenities like bathrooms and places to eat. Many people camp here because they can hike during the day and head to the beach afterward. San Clemente State Beach Campground sits right on the coast with ocean views. Campers get access to shower buildings and restrooms throughout the grounds. The beach below the campground works well for swimming, and paths for hiking and biking run through the area. Both campgrounds work well for kids and families. Some campsites have more trees between them for extra privacy, while others are more open. Trees cover many of the sites, which helps during hot days. The campsites vary in size, fitting everything from small tents to bigger RVs. Most of these camping areas sit close enough to towns where you can grab food or supplies when needed. Weather stays mild in winter and gets warm in summer, so camping works year-round. Just remember that summer brings crowds, so book well ahead of time. Whether you want a quick weekend trip or something longer, La Mirada's nearby campgrounds have good options.
