Malibu Creek State Park

The Malibu Creek State Park is located in the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains along Malibu Canyon Road. The campground includes many services and amenities such as showers, laundry and a picnic area. This is a great place to spend the weekend hiking and camping with endless ways to spend your days exploring. It gets pretty busy in the summers, so plan ahead!

The 4,000-acre park is known for its appearances in many TV shows and films such as M*A*S*H and Planet of the Apes. Other than its film history, Malibu Creek State Park provides the main attraction of a rock pool where you can swim and jump from cliffs in between hikes on the 15 miles of trail.
