SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Several RV parks operate within driving distance of Lake Sherwood, California, providing various amenities for motorhome travelers. Malibu Beach RV Park offers ocean view sites with full hookups including 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections on paved pull-through rv pads. The sites accommodate large vehicles but are somewhat closely spaced. "Great location, spectacular views, kid & pet friendly. Lots of extras," noted one visitor about the Malibu facility. Ventura Beach RV Resort provides year-round access with full hookup motorhome sites that can accommodate big rigs, while Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon in Acton maintains similar capabilities plus dedicated RV camping areas with fire rings permitted at designated sites.
Advance reservations are strongly recommended at most parks, especially during peak seasons. Many facilities require specific arrival times, with after-hours check-in procedures varying by location. Dump stations are available at most parks, though reviews indicate Thornhill Broome campers must use neighboring Sycamore campground's facilities. Cell service remains reliable at most coastal locations, with multiple reviewers noting good connectivity even at beachside parks. Pet policies differ significantly between facilities, with some parks imposing breed restrictions that have caused issues for travelers. Propane service is limited in the immediate area, requiring planning ahead for extended stays. Parking can become challenging during busy periods, particularly at mountain view sites where space is at a premium.

RangerThornhill Broome Beach — Point Mugu State Park
Beach camping on PCH!
Spent 3 nights here and absolutely loved it. Campground has trash, porta-potties, and appeared to have potable spigots but didn't confirm. Verizon service was hit or miss, but with a booster it was usable. Nice fire rings and picnic tables. Only downside was highway noise, but the surf drowned out all but big-rigs. Saw dolphins and seals back to back days! We're so glad we went, and if we pass by again we will be staying for sure!

Carpinteria State Beach Campground
Carpinteria State Beach Campground is a one of our frequently visited “staycation” spots. We live in nearby Santa Barbara, but will use Carp State Beach as a midway meeting point when friends from Southern California and Central California meet up.
The campground is pretty large, and caters mostly to RVs and trailers. There are loops within the campground that are essentially just asphalt lots with small dirt spaces for fire pits and picnic benches - these are intended for RV campers, but we have tent camped there in a pinch. Since we are tent campers we do prefer to camp in the grassy tent sites, but they are limited in number and tend fill up quickly. Because of the moderate year-round weather, Carpinteria State Beach Campground stays pretty full all year long!
The campground has full hook ups, clean plumed bathrooms, and coin-operated showers. There are grocery stores and conscience stores within short walking distance for anything you might need. Train tracks run directly behind the campground, so there is some noise pollution from the passing trains.
The campground is at the very end of downtown Carpinteria, right next to the ocean. There are no “ocean front” sites, but the beach is a quick 1-minute walk from essentially anywhere in the campground. Some small sandy dunes separate the campground from the beach, and there is an accessible paved boardwalk running along the length of the dunes. There are beautiful tide pools just south of Carpinteria State Beach Campground that are a must see. Check the tide charts on the internet to visit the tide pools at low to mid tide.
While we really enjoy camp cooking, we tend to opt to walk into town to eat when camping in Carpinteria. Linden Avenue is right next to the campground, and is the main street in downtown Carpinteria. There is a wide variety of restaurants, breweries and coffee shops downtown. Island Brewery CO is a local favorite just on the edge of the campground - while I don’t think they have food available (yet), their beer is GREAT! Their avocado beer is a must try - I know it sounds weird, but it’s delicious (and doesn’t taste like avocados)! Rincon Brewery is a few blocks up from the campground, and also has great beer, and TASTY FOOD!

Great location!
Camping at the beach in LA! Large country campground that has sites designed for motorhomes and sites designed for travel trailers and fifth wheels. It asphalt campsites, but you’re at the BEACH! My only complaints are the electrical was not working properly, (I had to connect to 30A instead of 50A), and people don’t pick up after themselves.

Lovely get away
Close to town but no cell signal, this place is amazing! Large camping area and I’ve never felt crowded ! Quarter showers and laundry, and a dog park! Lots of deer in the area and Great Lake to fish at! They also offer some hook ups for the rv campers

Tapo Canyon Park
Clean and quiet, except for the birds
This is a very nice campground near everything but still away from it all. No issues parking our 42' 5th wheel here. Clean and quiet despite the peacocks. They can be rather loud when startled. I swear they could hear my morning alarm and squawked their disapproval. The camp host Shawn is AMAZING! Bathrooms are very clean. Showers are coin operated. DO NOT expect cell service. I could only work from this spot by placing my mobile HomeFi router on top of the camper. Our Verizon phones were paper weights. Make sure your reservations are complete online before arriving. The Rangers check the spots multiple times a week. The kids enjoyed the playground and fields. It's not uncommon to see and hear movie/TV production crews at the filming locations along the road. Pet friendly but be careful at night. Mountain lions were spotted while there.

Small but peaceful
Ok, so first off driving into this place feels a little "Texas Chainsaw" but don't worry, its fine. When I saw regional park I was expecting something way bigger however this is about the size of a small city park that turned its parking lot into a campground. None the less, we had a very pleasant stay. It was nice and quite despite it being Fourth of July weekend and we even had a few friendly bats fly around us. The playground was a bunch of old metal pieces that looked like you would surely break a leg so naturally my 2 and 4 year old LOVED it. LOL. Its in a great location with close drive to Ventura and Pismo beaches. Would definitely stay here again for a quick getaway.
Oh and note, the full hook up sites are for Model A's (stayed at 56). So hook ups are on the opposite side and really close to the "entrance" so we couldnt back in, we had to parking our towing vehicle in the general parking area. We had our small travel trailer and thank God we had a 40 ft sewer hose.

Best Annual Trips
My family has been camping here for 50+ years... should say enough! Best camping trip (with family, friends, solo, whatever!) you’ll have, safe area, very accessible. Bathrooms have power outlets, token-powered hot showers, and super close to town. Make sure you pack your food away at night.... raccoons are present!

Guide to Lake Sherwood
Camping near Lake Sherwood, California takes advantage of the region's Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers. The area sits at approximately 900 feet elevation in the Santa Monica Mountains with nearby campgrounds spanning from beachside locations to mountain settings. Weather remains relatively stable year-round with summer temperatures typically ranging from 70-90°F.
What to do
Beach access and swimming: Point Mugu Recreation Facility provides direct beach access with minimal crowds. "This is probably my favorite beach campground yet! Being on the Military base reduces the number of people trying to get to it. The beach is on the base, and has a protected wetland and then shooting range on one side then on the other is the base itself, so this beach is really JUST for those staying on the base or campground," reports Danielle P.
Bowling and entertainment: Military-access campgrounds offer unique recreation options. At Fairways RV Resort, "there are parks located throughout the base and the bowling alley is super cheap for unlimited bowling. There is a movie theater on site but limited on how many movies are showing," according to Ryan C.
Explore downtown areas: Several RV sites near Lake Sherwood allow for convenient urban exploration. At Santa Barbara Sunrise RV Park, "Loved the convenience of this campground. It's an easy bike ride to beaches, downtown and restaurants. Very clean and showers were very nice! Some road noise but it didn't bother us," notes Trey T.
What campers like
Wildlife watching: Coastal campgrounds provide opportunities for wildlife observation. "We watched seals, ducks and more swimming around the beach. We practically had it all to ourselves," writes Danielle P. about Point Mugu Recreation Facility.
Pool and spa access: Many RV sites near Lake Sherwood provide refreshing amenities. At Golden Shore RV Resort, "Staff keeps the grounds clean, clean bathrooms, heated pool and hot tub, and other fun things to do like horse shoes. We would stay here again if we come back to this area," mentions Ruth N.
Unique art and landscaping: Some campgrounds offer interesting visual experiences. At Hollywood RV Park, "Every street is themed with murals and art everywhere! The site size depends on where you are in the park. Most of it is an affordable community for locals to live. We were lucky and got a middle spot with wonderful shade trees!" shares Clean Slate D.
What you should know
Highway noise: Some campgrounds experience significant traffic noise. "Unfortunately 101 is really loud all night long. Might be ok in a hard-sided RV…but if you're in anything else you may not sleep much," warns Michael U. about Santa Barbara Sunrise RV Park.
Train disruptions: At Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon, "During the day it was difficult to conversate with my group of people or listen to any music at my campsite. The free way is right next to you. You can literally see the cars driving by. At night, it was so loud, it was difficult to sleep," according to Stephanie H.
Check-in procedures vary: Some parks have unique arrival systems. At Hollywood RV Park, "This isn't a self-park park...the spaces are so close together that they use a cart to park you," explains Donna H.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity can be spotty at certain locations. "No WIFI and reception for Verizon was hit or miss," notes Keisha D. about Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon.
Tips for camping with families
Seasonal activities: Some parks offer organized entertainment. At Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon, "The Saturday activities [are good]. However if you have older kids forget it! The activities are for ages 5-7 maybe! They did have a movie night the last night we were there," mentions groverlicious1.
Swimming reservations: During busy periods, pool access may require planning. "During COVID you need to reserve your time at the pool. Make sure you know that you want to stay here for the full time because there is not a generous refund policy," advises Anna about Golden Shore RV Resort.
Bathroom access hours: Some facilities have limited overnight availability. "Great place to spend the weekend. Close enough to some good shopping and restaurants! Only downside is they lock the bathrooms from 8pm-730am," warns Derrick about Golden Shore RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Large RVs face challenges at certain parks. At Castaic Lake RV Park, "For a 43 footer this place is TIGHT. If you have a big rig, prolly not the best idea. But if you have a 28 footer, this place is Six Stars!!!!" advises Michael C.
RV assistance: Some parks provide setup help. At Hollywood RV Park, "Steve the owner is amazing and the team will take your rig on a forklift to your site and fully set you up. It feels like a neighborhood instead of a busy RV park," reports Mel B.
Sprinkler systems: Watch for overnight watering systems that might affect outdoor items. At Ventura Beach RV Resort, "Sprinklers go on at midnight and spray all over the RV... and arrived late so we had things on the picnic table," warns Wendi S.
