Point Mugu State Park Overview

Point Mugu State Park, located in the far western Santa Monica Mountains, features five miles of ocean shoreline with rocky bluffs, sandy beaches, sand dunes, rugged hills and uplands, two major river canyons and wide grassy valleys dotted with sycamores, oaks and a few native walnuts.

The park also has two campgrounds including Sycamore Canyon (58 developed sites) and Thornhill Broome (41 primitive sites along the beach). Amenities include drinking water, vault toilets, flush toilets, showers, trash collection, a dump station and EV-charging stations. Firewood is also available to purchase from the camp hosts. Cell service is good.

There are more than 70 miles of hiking trails. The beach also features swimming, body surfing and surf fishing. The park includes the jagged pinnacles of the Boney Mountains State Wilderness Area.

Dogs are not allowed on the backcountry trails or dirt roads. Dogs on a leash are allowed in the Park’s day use areas, campgrounds and beaches.
