Directions |
Big Sycamore Canyon Campground is located in Point
Mugu State Park. From the valley, take one of the canyon roads (Las
Virgenes/Malibu Canyon (CR N1), Kanan Dume (CR N2), Topanga Canyon (Route 27)
[avoid Decker Canyon, Route 23, as it is very twisty and dangerous]) to Pacific
Coast Highway, Route 1. Make a right when you reach PCH, and continue North.
The camp should be about 10 miles north of the Ventura County Line. Look for
the signs directing you to "Big Sycamore Campground" (not Cove).
