Thornhill Broome Campground

Imagine waking up to the sound of crashing waves just steps from your tent—this is the quintessential experience at Thornhill Broome Campground, a tranquil beachside retreat situated right off the iconic Pacific Coast Highway. This unique campground offers direct beach access, unobstructed ocean views, and the rare opportunity to camp right on the sand, blending the rugged charm of primitive camping with the unmatched serenity of a coastal setting.

Each of the 39 sites lies along the beach, offering picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets for basic convenience. Best suited for tent camping and smaller RVs (up to 31 feet), this campground emphasizes a minimalist, nature-centric approach. While shade and privacy are scarce due to the open layout and proximity to the highway, the payoff is unparalleled stargazing and breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific. Campers should come prepared for coastal breezes and the sound of waves, which provide a soothing contrast to the occasional noise from the nearby road.

Located within Point Mugu State Park, Thornhill Broome is just a short drive from Sycamore Canyon's hiking trails and La Jolla Canyon’s scenic waterfall. The nearby park also offers over 70 miles of trails for hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring the Santa Monica Mountains. For dining and local flavor, Neptune's Net, a classic seafood spot, is just 10 minutes away. Whether for a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, this campground is a haven for beach lovers seeking direct immersion in Malibu's coastal beauty.
