We hiked the trails behind the campground and used the facilities while there. Everything is covered by a forest of sycamore trees that shelter and shade the campground and the bathrooms.

The trails lead up to a ridge above the ocean that has beautiful vistas and others go across Highway One to the long, wide beach itself. The camping area is small and compact, appropriate for tents, pop-up campers and small RVs.

The weather is either cool and cloudy (high fog) or bright, crisp and warm. The area is arid and desert like with sand dunes, cliffs and escarpment, and rocky but easy trails. A small dry creek cuts through the campground on its way to the beach. It was practically dry in May, but probably would be flowing during rainy season months of December to April.

Nice family environment and populated with a lot of day visitors over the weekend.

Camping at Point Mugu was the highlight of our PCH roadtrip. It is a beach that you literally pitch your tent on the sand, there are port-a-johns for the restrooms, and it can get pretty windy, but the views over the Pacific? Unbeatable. The sound of the surf lulled us to sleep and we woke up to dolphins playing a few yards from shore. The park is right off the highway, but there isn't much PCH traffic in that area at night so it was very quiet. I would highly recommend staying here. Just remember to grab what you need at Ralphs in Malibu before you head out... there isn't anything else around the campground.

Can not pick own site and can get really cold through that canyon at night in the winter. Basically a back up if you can not get a site at Leo Carillo 15 minutes south.
