Leo Carrillo State Park Campground Beach Store - Malibu, California

Just finished up our second camping trip and debating if I should tell you how amazing this place is.

About three years ago I took my daughters camping here and we had the best time. There was a heat spell but you can’t complain about the weather when you’re camping. I’m not gonna tell you what our site number wise because there are very good sites at this campground.

Ask for cleanliness, my experience has been at this campground is always kept very clean. Even this morning I saw many people cleaning the restrooms.

As for noise level. I only heard one campsite not observing the quiet hours at this camp.

What is really great about this place is your proximity to the beach.

From our campsite it took us about five minutes to get down to the beach. It’s great because we can go down to the beach and enjoy it in the morning. Then we can come back to our camp and have lunch. Then we can go back to the beach and enjoy it in the afternoon. Then we can come back to our campsite and enjoy it there.

We found that most of the people who camp here are very kind and respectful. I also want to let you know that there’s a general store at this location so in case you forgot something you can grab it.

My son also wants me to tell you that someone caught an octopus in the tide pools. He loved it

Great camping walking distance from the beach. Store in the campground was convenient. The only downside was heavy truck traffic on north side of the camp and no RECYCLE!!! I really think it's time all campgrounds have recycle bins...we can do better at this com'on ♻️🤷🏻‍♀️

My family has been camping here for family reunions every year for years! We love it! The campgrounds and beaches are beautiful. My only complaint is the showers. This year I had to use countless shower tokens just trying to find a shower that worked. Also it takes about a whole token just for the water to get hot. Hopefully this gets fixed.

Nice spacious campsites, descent bathrooms and showers, walking distance to the beach, hiking trail on the mountain.

Great campground, beautiful spot with trees for shade. The beach is so lovely. Amenities are pretty clean. There is only service near the front of the campground so get a spot up there if you need to use your phone. Hike and bike in spots are super secluded from the bustle of the main campground. Please see attached photo for restrictions now in place for this spot though. And a heads up that hike and bike in are $10 per person. Bring your own firewood as it’s expensive at the store!

A beautiful campground yet it could be maintained better. We greeted our site with used toilet paper on the ground. The empty site across from us had a crappy rug next to the fire pit. It stayed there the entire week of our stay. The bathrooms do not seem to be maintained either. And you have to pay for hot showers. I would expect better standards for $60. a night for an electric hook up site. Especially when you can stay at Malibu beach rv park for $50 a night and have amazing ocean views with the cleanest site and bathhouse (free hot shower) of all time. That said, this campground allows fires and has awesome hiking and easy beach access.

Beautiful camping ground with very friendly park rangers and store employees. we were in a site far in the back and was quiet all day, the sites closer to the entrance had more families. so if you are just adults with a dog or 2, wanting to enjoy a nice camping weekend i recommend staying in the back sites. if you have a child, please stay closer to the front. when we walked around daily, many of the kids ran around in packs screaming till the night and started early mornings.
