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).

Details

Space is Limited! We have a limited number of campgrounds available; first come, first served. Each is an individual site that has a picnic table and a fire ring. Flush toilets and pay showers are close by. RV's under 30' are permitted; there are no hookups. The campground has a gate that locks for entry at 10 PM nightly. There is NO entry after the gate is locked.

Check-In Time. No earlier than 2:00 PM

Space is limited for vehicles as well. If you are coming up for the day, please carpool. There is a day-use lot; however, you can drive up, unload, and then move your cars to that lot.

Dogs are permitted, but must be on a leash at all times.

What to Bring

The following are some suggested supplies to bring on this trip:

Someplace to Sleep: For this, you have two choices:

  • RVs: Limited size RVs are permitted.
  • Real Camping: Appropriate supplies for camping: Tent, Sleeping Bags, Air Mattresses or underpads, lanterns. There may be cots available.

Something to Eat: Again, you have a few choices regarding this:

  • Eating Easy: Oxnard is 20 minutes away. Can you spell "take out"?
  • Real Camping: A camp stove or other cooking apparatus. Sufficient quantities of food, and something to keep perishable food cold. If you are cooking food, remember to bring cooking utensils and mits to handle hot pans. Also remember to bring a dish pan and cleaning equipment.
