"Not crowded and a place you can rarely camp beachfront in souther California. I have to note the bathrooms are absolutely terrible."
"You are so close to the water and there is plenty of space between you and your neighbor. When we were there many people had RVs so there were only a few tents."

"I absolutely love this campground, it’s perfectly situated in between the Malibu pier area (to your left) Dume, Zuma, and more beaches (to the right), + a lovely small beach across the street… oh let’s"
"This is a great little campground just north of Malibu, California, and right off of the 101. So yes, the freeway is RIGHT. THERE."
"It’s tucked away from the street and you almost wouldn’t know it’s there! Loved this small and well kept campsite.
Some of the sites are very small."
"Ok, so first off driving into this place feels a little "Texas Chainsaw" but don't worry, its fine."
"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."
"This campground happens to be very close to home so we went here to try out our brand new pull behind camper trailer for the very first time.
The campground is small, quiet and very well-kept."
"Our lot was secluded, private and close to the entrance/exit. The only thing was the unlevel ground we were on. Our RV was a simple 30’ rental without any leveling."
"Feels far from everything, but is only a short drive from LA/SFV. The adjacent town of Santa Paula is a great place to spend time."
"The tent sites are very basic and very close together, but the surroundings are worth it!"
"This is a wonderful campground right next to the beach however it is only available to the military and their families."
"Also multiple hiking trails right from the grounds, and some playgrounds and basketball courts. Feels very family friendly. First come first serve spots and you make reservations online."

We parked right by the Pacific Ocean, watched planes from LAX fly overhead, and soaked in a stunning sunset🌅. It was the ideal place to settle into our campervan life as a Desi-Filipino-Canadian family on a 5000 KM adventure.
✅ Beachfront RV spots
✅ Clean restrooms& showers
✅ Amazing views
❗Planes are loud but fun
We had a dry campsite a bit further from the airport, so the plane noise was much less
GuideAs a tent camper, I loved it. 26 bucks was on the expensive side but well worth it. Super quiet. Nice and cool for the summer and I’m staying here on my way to Northern California off I5
TravelerGood for what it is. There’s not a lot of trash but some. It’s nice to be able to walk to the beach and there’s water spouts to clean your feet. The bathrooms are pretty clean, didn’t use the showers though. It’s a bit noisy with highway traffic and the occasional train. It’s pretty open so there’s no privacy to any site. I stayed at 103 which was a big mistake because there is no shade at that site.
TravelerThis is a great family oriented campground. They have two nice pools one for adults and one for families. They have a nice size laundry room that stays clean. They have several bathrooms and showers throughout the campground. We stayed all the way in the back of the campground and it was nice and quiet!
TravelerI stay at Foster Red Mountain campground. It was in a nice location. Certain sites are very close to the main road, check the map to stay in a quieter space. There were TONS of bugs. It looks like no one has tended to the grounds in a year. Ground loaded with dead leaves and likely the cause for all the bugs. You open your tent for one second and they’re all trying to get in, would be better if they had a shower. Overall nice area and campsite.
TravelerI had a nice stay. Noticed they had one random night available on a Monday. There were at least 3 other empty sites. I don’t know why people don’t cancel their reservation if they’re not going to come. There are very few sites here. I did smell what I thought might be the bathrooms quite a bit wafting through my campsite. They don’t smell bad when using them though….. so maybe it was one of the nearby rvs?? Not sure. Love that the beach is dog friendly. Many other beachfront campsites in SoCal have beaches that are not dog friendly. Next to the highway but all you can mostly hear are crashing waves. Very chill.
GuideNice little camp ground. They need to do some trash cleanup and people need to not be slots. There are dumpsters and water and multiple toilets. It's a bit close to the road, but it pretty. There is a nice breeze. Cause it's in a valley the sun isn't too bad
ScoutThis campground is well maintained. There is a dump station nearby. Great place to stop heading over the Grapevine.
GuidePerfect last minute late night hold over stop
