Malibu State Creek Park is a wonderful little gem near the Greater Los Angeles Area. The park has working toilets and showers. There are several little trails in the area and the beach is less than a 20 minute drive from the site. Plenty of wildlife can be seen in the area.

Had a great short trip to Malibu Creek campsite. We stayed two nights, and enjoyed a day-hike to the "hidden" waterfall a few miles out. It was a little less hidden than we might have preferred, but enjoyable nonetheless! Would camp here again.

This site is expensive, but is a god backup if all of the other Malibu campsites are taken. Not a lot of privacy.

Dogs aren't even allowed on leash in the parking lot. Camping is reasonably priced but day access is about twenty dollars - ridiculous! Gorgeous park but the over-zealous rangers make it feel a little like you're back in school being yelled at.
