no wifi
No tmobile wifi. we dropped by to fill up water since we were camping at thornhill Broome. Water refill was free. We didn't dump there. Can't comment on anything else.

Small little campground adjacent to Sycamore Canyon. This is great for trail runners and mountain bikers.
The spaces are pretty small, so they are not meant for large RVs. The facilities are Okay. I don't think there was hot water when I went there.
There is no reception for T-Mobile users. However, I used my WeBoost and got two bars. I was able to stream music, text and some internet.
It's nice to ride down PCH on this stretch towards Camarillo. You can visit the Missile Park in Point Magu or the Light House in Hueneme.
Great location. Less than 1/2 mile to the beach, hiking and MTB/gravel trails accessible from the campground. Sites are close together, though.
This campsite lies within the state park Point Mugu. There are great hikes just of the camp site with amazing views over the state park and the Pacific Ocean. The campground was full but not too noisy.
Stayed at sycamore canyon campground site 26. Nicely maintained campground. Some of the sites are a bit small. Definitely not for larger RVs. Freshly paved roads. Downside is the beach is across the highway, and there is poison oak throughout the campground.
Loved staying here, lots of bikers & sites were close together but large so it didn’t feel so bad like other places! Token showers
My boyfriend & I stayed at this campground just a little while ago and fell in love with this place! We were in spot 47 and with just a little walk we were able to see the beach and a beautiful sunset! The campground was very clean & beautiful! Definitely will be coming again!
Site 10 is most secluded. Foot and bike traffic heavy during the day as trailhead is at end of campground. Token showers and clean restrooms. Lots of wildlife- coyotes and owls at night. I stayed during the week, looks like it gets nuts on the weekends. If the campground is busy, you’ll be parking right next to other campers and the spots are tight. But it’s super beautiful!
Sycamore campground could be so much nicer if sites were not so crowded together. What the hell? There is a lot of land so why are sites crammed in so close. Why would they put sites right next to the bathroom? Why would some of the sites be so tiny it is almost impossible to back a small trailer into? It would be nice (and not costly) to just give more attention to trying to create a better campground. And why so expensive for dry camping in ridiculous jammed together sites. A few of the sites are decent but many are just not acceptable.
Very cozy and easy campground with bunnies and lots of shade. Good facilities justify the cost. I personally would have preferred something with less people but it is popular for good reason.
Sycamore campground in Mugu State Park is a great campground close to the beach with large spots to park your trailer and car.
The only downside is that there are no hookups so this is boondocking at its best.
We stayed here for the weekend in site 50. This was a great campsite! On the end and very secluded. A very short walk to a nice beach. It was not crowded, and most neighbors were respectful, except for the newbies running their generator at all hours! I like this place because you get the woods feeling in the campground, but walk 5 minutes and you are on the beach. Will definitely return soon.
My wife and daughter aren’t big fans of camping (yet) but I was able to persuade them to check out camping here in PT. Mugu. Thornhill is always booked up since it’s right on the beach but I was able to reserve a spot at Sycamore instead. We camped in June 2020, just when campgrounds were opening up again.
The rangers and camp host were pleasant. There is firewood available there. If you forget anything, you can always drive down PCH a few miles to the grocery store. A short walk from the Sycamore loop campsites takes you under the overpass to the beach. On the beach, there are numerous picnic tables and porta-potties.
The other campers here are your typical crowds, from big families with children to couples and even sole campers. Overall people are very considerate in terms of keeping the campground clean and noise levels were respected. There are plenty of the mature sycamore trees which offer plenty of shade.
Spent a Friday to Sunday at Sycamore Canyon. Site 29 was perfect. Lots of space at the site, easily access the beach and hiking trail at end of the camp road. Fire pits available for use, bathrooms and showers.
Best part was the sunsets in the evening from the beach with the dog at our side.
Point Mugu State Park ( Sycamore Cove has a great day use area on the beach across the street from Sycamore campground. Lots of tables or sand for blankets and umbrellas. About 20% of the tables are in the shade of trees. One cool benefit, the day use fee is daily or hourly $12/day or $3/ hour. We bought two hours, fixed a nice lunch, and took a walk on the beach. The beach drops off, gets deep quickly, not the safest waters but swimmable. There are lifeguards. Bathrooms are pit toilets.
Note: Both Sycamore campground and Thornhill Broome campground up the road are under “Point Mugu State Beach” when you want to make camping reservations.
Great area with modest temps, trail and beach access. Relaxing environment!
We love this place in so many ways! If you love Fall and trees and the California golden sun... this place is the place to be! It has it all in one. We’ve stayed here so many times and still find something new to love about it the next time we stay. Absolutely beautiful place in Summer and in Fall/Winter months the trees and crisp air will not disappoint. Just cross the street and you can surf all day and be by the fire all night. Very well maintained campground, with a perfect little store on premises to aid your every need. Rangers and staff are friendly and very helpful. You’ll pay $10-$45 a night here, either as regular camping (tent/RV) or as a hike and bike. They do accept reservations but walk ins as well. We’ve never had any trouble finding a solid site with first come first serve for those that are last minute travelers. It quite literally has everything you’ll need here (including showers), so you can enjoy your trip without worry! Lots of fun trails for inexperienced hikers and experienced but overall, we just love this place!
This is a great campground for anyone wanting to do some camping and mountain biking. In addition, you're right next to the beach! Dogs are allowed on the beach and campsites, but not allowed on the trails. Park Rangers advised me this was due to rattle snakes on trails. Due to the heavy rainfall this past winter, there's heavy vegetation growth along all trails. The campsites are relatively private and well kept. Fire pits have grills on them. Bathroom/showers are dated but well maintained. Good alternative to anyone that usually camped at Leo Carrillo.
Small quaint BEAUTIFUL not extremely well known. And The Beach...
THE BEACH People.
It’s the best of all worlds. Camping,hiking,animal watching, fishing, Room enough to throw a frisbee or play catch
We fell in love with it in 1979 and never stop going back

Small sites, many are just in a parking lot where you get 2 normal slots. Near beach but no provided access. You have to go under a highway underpass. No access during high tide. Mosquitoes everywhere. No hook-ups yet it cost $40. Overflowing dumpsters. Actually saw a bum digging through them in front of my site. Dirty bathrooms. Needs a total renovation.
There are 8 walk-in campsites and 1 group site, all sites have a picnic table with bear box attached, and room for 1 tent. No fires are permitted. There is one pit toilet, and therein is the reason for the drop to 3 stars, the pit has not been emptied, it is full to the top.
Each of the sites in and of themselves is great. Very secluded from each other.
The La Jolla trail is currently closed, you must take the Ray Miller trail up to the overlook trail, it adds a few miles to the hike, but well worth the views of the ocean.
Our campsite wasn’t huge, but wow! We hiked a couple of trails and enjoyed beautiful views and the beach was very close! There were some basic showers to wash sand off. I totally recommend this camp if you love the beach and the coast!
Spaces very quite a bit here, but I lucked in a fairly large somewhat private space. They are assigned as you check in at the gate, not reserved in advance like other campsites. I walked to the beach, but due to tides had to run across a very busy highway (PCH 1). At low tide there is a walkway to the beach. The beach itself has a lot of tar which left my feet black for the trip. That was the only downfall. I preferred the campgroud to the beach and would visit again sometime. Note: lots of large groups book this campground for day parties and events. Some even bring catering trucks and tables.
Loved everything about this site. You have a lot of space and a campfire pit. bathrooms are portable.
We had an amazing two tent set up at Point Mugu with ocean views and bright stars above us. Listening to the sound of the ocean waves as we fell asleep was epic. Wouldn't have wanted this Questival experience any other way!
This camp site is easy to get to , there is porta potty a raised fire ring, breathtaking morning and evening views. you can hear some of the traffic on the PCH behind you but the crashing waves drown in out. There is firewood available from the campground host for $5 dollars a bundle. Little windy at sundown. Make sure to have your tent set back as the tide comes in and will wash all your camping items out to sea. The nearest store is about 10 mins away.
Driving up the coast of Cali we were determined to find a beach campground! Though I would say this one was a bit pricey, it was exactly what we were looking for. Mountains to our backs and the pacific at our toes. Super friendly hosts, a lot of people who didn't mind Sadie being off leash. Star show rocked at night. Some cute places close by to pick up some grub to cook over the fire! Loved this site- hope to return someday!
Southern California is one of the few places where you can enjoy the beach, the desert, and the mountains all in one day. Camping and hiking at Point Mugu has it all. When I moved to LA 3 years ago, Point Mugu was the first park I visited. There had been a recent fire in the hiking hills, and it was amazing to see the plant life show such a will to survive. The backbone trail ends at this park, and was finally completed in spring 2016 - I strongly recommend hiking part of it, if you stay at Point Mugu.
The one downside: it's really hard to reserve a campsite here for the weekends. I've had to book weeks in advance.
Fantastic body surfing, some good surf waves up the highway a bit. There is a backpacking access site as well up the canyon about 3 miles. Otherwise the creeks have gotten pretty dry in the area, still wildlife though. You can road bike up to the famous roadside seafood, or out to agoura on mtn bike through the canyon trail.
