About
Sycamore Canyon Campground is the primary camping area within Point Mugu State Park, located along Pacific Coast Highway approximately 4 miles west of the Ventura County line. The campground occupies a scenic canyon lined with native sycamore trees, providing shade and shelter while sitting just a short walk from the sandy beach at Sycamore Cove. The park encompasses over 14,000 acres of diverse terrain including five miles of ocean shoreline with rocky bluffs, sand dunes, rugged hills, and wide grassy valleys dotted with sycamores, oaks, and native walnuts. More than 70 miles of hiking trails wind through the park, offering routes ranging from easy canyon walks to strenuous ridge climbs with panoramic ocean views. Seasonal whale watching is possible in late winter and spring. Each campsite includes a fire ring and picnic table. The campground features combination restroom/shower buildings with token-operated showers that accept one dollar bills. An RV dump station is available on site. Two ADA-accessible campsites are located at sites 36 and 58. Campground gates open at 8am and close at 10pm with no entry permitted after closing. Quiet hours are enforced from 10pm to 6am.
