Malibu Beach RV Park

Malibu Beach RV Park, which is rebranding as Surf Outpost, is a private RV park on a bluff above Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, Southern California, with roughly 150 sites overlooking the ocean. Our Southern California guide treats it as a two-night bucket-list splurge rather than a basecamp: unobstructed Pacific views, dolphins visible from your site, and stairs down the bluff to the beach. It suits RVers who want the view and are willing to pay for it.

Why RVers stay here

On hookups, 74 sites are full hookup and 86 are water and electric, all with 30/50-amp service, plus a small store and laundry. The listed maximum is 37 feet, which rules out many Class A motorhomes. Rates run about $150 to $350-plus a night plus a 15 percent occupancy tax. Book direct, and book early: summer weekends go four to six months out. The trade-off is everything besides the view: constant PCH traffic noise, high prices, and a 15-minute drive to a full grocery store. For a longer LA-area stay, our guide points to Ventura or Doheny instead.

Southern California RV Parks: 20 Best Campgrounds by Region

Malibu Beach RV Park (rebranding as Surf Outpost) occupies a blufftop perch along Pacific Coast Highway with roughly 150 sites overlooking the ocean — 74 full-hookup and 86 water-electric sites with 30/50-amp service, plus a small store and laundry. The views are unobstructed Pacific panoramas with dolphins visible from your site; beach access is via stairs down the bluff. The catch is everything else: $150 to $350-plus per night plus a 15 percent occupancy tax, a 37-foot RV length limit that excludes many Class A motorhomes, constant PCH traffic noise and a 15-minute drive to a full grocery store.

For a stay in the LA basin itself, most RVers use Malibu, the Ventura coast to the north or Doheny to the south and drive in for the day; we have not found a Los Angeles city park we would recommend as a destination.
