Mountain Room with an Amazing View!
One of my very favorite camps to date. The location is amazing! Situated in the Santa Monica Mountains adjacent to Malibu Creek State Park, this campsite has open views of the ocean overlooking Zuma Beach and Point Dume. On a clear sunny day, the view is awesome! To get to the campsite you travel through a windy mountain road to a remote area in the hills. Be prepared to drive a short distance of rugged terrain to go from the main road in to the actual camp site. I had no trouble crawling up the dirt drive in my Jeep Wrangler. The campsite is spacious, flat and private. Plenty of room for tents and gear. It comes complete with a picnic table and solar trail lights that the host provided. This location has a lot to offer. There is coastal beach life down the road below and mountain hiking above. In addition, if you are so inclined, you can go horseback riding with the hosts. It is of course an additional charge, but so well worth it! The horse trail runs through the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains and the ocean views in the background were simply spectacular. The hosts were incredible! They were very patient with our novice knowledge of riding and by the end of the trail, we felt like veteran riders. Be prepared to really unplug, as there is no cell service in the immediate area of the campsite. No problem for us as it meant a much need break from devices and distractions. There’s more that could be said for sure. We love the location, appreciated the host hospitality and we will definitely be back! Put this campsite on your list to visit and you can add to the conversation.
