Malibu Beach RV Park

Unreasonably priced-​no where within miles to go out to dinner. I will not stay here again. Live and learn

Just finished camping here over Mother’s Day weekend. Fantastic views but that’s the only good thing I can say about this camping spot. I should have known it was going to be bad when a campground «enforcer» stopped our kids from playing in a vacant campsite across from ours stating that they did not want to have their dirt disturbed! Hate it when kids disturb the dirt… the horror! Absolutely terrible place if you’re bringing kids. No campfires allowed, no riding scooters and no fun seem to be a common theme here. Disappointed

We’ve stayed here several times over the past few years. I’m not sure if it’s under new management but this last visit I was really impressed. It seemed there had been a lot of improvements. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the grounds were super tidy, the store is stocked really well (they had useful RV items I’d never seen before). Also I think the bathrooms have been recently renovated, they were very tastefully decorated and extremely clean. There is a Malibu Seafood just below the park, it’s a 10 minute walk and the fish and chips are divine — the place is packed — call ahead with your order and tell them you’re staying in the RV park and you get 10% discount. We parked our car on PCH to avoid paying the $ 10 fee — it’s unrestricted parking on the highway. The width of the RV sites varies depending on what type you book. We got one of the cheapest sites — mountain view with electric and water (no sewer) but it turned out to be a full ocean view (spot C9 — the employees said it’s one of the best in the park so try and grab it if you can). My only complaint is that kids can’t ride scooters. My my daughter loves to ride around on hers and because of the hills, bikes aren’t really an option here. I always liked this place but they really seemed to have lifted their game. Looking forward to coming back.

Clean and professional RV park. The park puts motorhomes and campers in tight. You are close to your neighbor, but nothing that affected my stay.
They have 30/​50/​110v electrical, water, sewer, cable tv, and wifi for each spot. The wifi is spotty and limited. I had a hard time connecting, even though they have 5 routers to choose from. Nice general store for anything that you may need.
A little on the rule heavy side, but I assume that is for a reason. They are VERY strict on check in /​check out time. Almost to the minute. You have a permit for parking, etc. Doubt you would be able to get anything by these folks.
Laundry facility was clean. $ 3.00 for a wash, $ 1.25 for dryer (45 mins). I didn’t use any of the other public facilities.
You can park on both sides of Hwy 1 until your check in time, which is nice, but Hwy 1 is extremely busy if you have little kids be cautious.
All in all a good place, park was busy, but I was able to get last minute reservations. I traveled on a less-​peak time so I assume that would vary depending on your travel times.

The staff is very kind and responsive. The park takes pride in its grounds. There is a pet walk with plenty of bags provided. The bathroom and showers are clean and upgraded. We have stayed here 3 times and plan to continue to come back because of all of the above and its closeness to so many interesting sites.

Very nice RV park. Did not have reservations and was still able to get a spot. Staff was not rude but not friendly either. I just call it the CA attitude. Perfect location. Nice restaurants near by. A good seafood restaurant just down the hill. Lots of tourists from other countries that can not drive their rented RVs. My truck was bumped, but just a small scratch. Good security. There was a couple that sat under the hitch of their 5^th wheel watching everyone come and go. One of the safest feeling we ever had at an RV Park. The park was on the higher end of rates. Over $ 100 per night. We plan to visit again late summer.

We thought the place was terrific, with the exception of too much highway noise. The view is spectacular, the staff friendly, and the bathrooms clean. For the price, I don’t think you can do better than this.

We visited for the first time Christmas weekend. We booked about a week in advance and were able to get an ocean view site. Views are amazing! The park is clean and has some nice lansdscaping. Our site was level and completely functional. One note is that the sites are gravel/​sand. It’s a little messy, but that would be our only «complaint». We had no issue with any of the staff. In fact, we found everyone to be friendly and helpful.
Location is ideal with many restaurants in just a few miles. You can actually walk down the dog trail to the Malibu Seafood place.

Great location and view of the ocean. Park and restrooms clean. Wifi needs some work-​very hit or miss. For the high rates, this should be rectified. Don’t forget to check in when you come through the park! For sure we’ll be back!

I absolutely love Malibu Beach RV Park. The views from every site are spectacular and the facilities are clean and well maintained by a staff that truly cares. The park is very close to the center of Malibu and sits directly above one of the most beautiful beaches in Southern California. There is a small but well stocked store at the park entrance and just below the park is Malibu Seafood, which offers fresh seafood at 10% off for park guests.
I have always been greeted by a warm smile at check in and have always been treated like family by the Malibu Beach RV Park staff. Management works hard to maintain a peaceful and safe environment, which means you will not be kept awake by loud neighbors or barking dogs and can fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing against the sand and the wind rustling through the palm trees.
Most sites are a good size, electric is reliable, water pressure is excellent, the showers are clean and hot and the magical ocean sunrises and sunsets out your window cannot be beat.
Easily my favorite place to stay while I’m in the LA area. Highly recommend!

Over priced and insanely rude staff — I was never treated so poorly at any RV park. Avoid at all cost unless you like being treated like a 5 year old

We were there to camp with a tent.
+ very nice ocean view!
Very nice bathrooms with free hot shower, it wasnt smelly at all (contrary to some others opinions) but there was not a lot of people. Everything was very clean.
Service was good.
Wifi ok
— prices in the shop of the camping were excessive (3,5 $ for a yogurt) and you have to put your car a little furter than your tent.
No firewood but it is temporary due to the california fires.
So, good camping!

Nice Ocean View but not well maintained and very pricey. Campgrounds have a Picnic Table and that is about it. Restrooms require a pass code to use — very inconvenient.

Really struggled to get in at the state parks, and after driving around being told we have to wait longer and then just feeling completely defeated, we drove into Malibu Beach RV Park. I wouldn’t say I’m close minded, but there’s a certain stigma around the words «RV park» that I just didn’t want to experience.
It was so much better than my expectations. Great bathroom and nice staff that provided all information that I needed. Beautiful site overlooking the ocean and wonderful neighbors. Short walk across the road the the beach. Drank wine and watched the sunset in peace.

I was super worried at first bc I had read so many complaint reviews… Racking my brain on how many different ways we were going to be kicked out based on what I’d read, but then tried to keep in mind that people are more likely to post a review if they have a bad experience than a good one. Yes it’s pricey, but once you see your view, it all starts to make sense. It was spectacular watching the sunrise over the mountains and set over the water. The staff was friendly and you have quick beach access. We had an all around great experience. Yes you’re in Malibu, but camping is camping no matter where you are… If you’re looking for fluff and pampering, go to a hotel. You’re there for the views and the experience. We will for sure be back! The water views are definitely worth the extra $. Thanks again!

There are many great things to say about Malibu RV Park. Location, amenities and security are great! But… The staff can be really really rude. Not all of them mind you! There was a very sweet and friendly lady that checked me in last week but this is sadly over shadowed by the female managers attitude! So very very mean and rude. Not to mention a younger brunette female that literally couldn’t crack a smile if her life depended on it.
I adore this location and the rules keep everyone safe and happy. I live in Los Angeles but like to live part time in my airstream around town and away. Great for this.
If you can handle a rude female manager and her side kick its cool. Other staff are very kind. You’ll be surrounded by tourist in rented rv’s from Switzerland and the like. Strange but fine.
Wish this woman would adjust her attitude to make this place as great as it could be.

We stayed at malibu rv for. a week
The place smells horrible and we could not sit outside and there basically was no WI
Our site was P4 and we could not open our awning at all and not even have a table outside.
I would never stay there again

1 star for location of park on top of a GD cliff amazing!
1 star for nice desk help who upgraded me as a spot became available.
1 star for the well stocked store.
1 star for good showers and restroom.
1 star for the nightly ocean sunsets.
Yes it’s expensive but it’s Malibu so that LSI that.
Yes they gave a ton of dog, fire, car parking rules but that is every park and it F$@ling California in a drought so that’s to be expected.
Get over yourself people and enjoy your trip. I have been to bad parks and believe me this is not one of them!
Keep it up folks! Great park!

Der Camping ist super gelegen. Die Aussicht ist von jedem Stellplatz super. Nicht dringend nötig ocean view zu buchen. Das bad ist gross und sauber. Und om Kleinen Laden hat es das nötigste was man braucht. Der Beach ist nicht gut zum Baden und muss über den Highway. Am besten nach Santa Monica Pier fahren. mit über knapp 20 dollar.

Summary: Go here if you want to be treated like cow vomit upon check in, have a decent view, only be able to use propane fire, and have to STFU at 10p, yet be awoken by kids running around screaming at 6a.
I’m pretty sure most of the staff were SS in a previous life (there were two exceptions, younger guys, you know who you are). The old lady with white hair that is the «manager» is a rude hook that lacks professionalism, customer service, and unfortunately common sense. Avoid her at all costs.
In order to check in you have to have the person present who made the reservation. Even though you can have two tents with 4 people on a site, the person who made the reservation has to be the first to check in. Oh, and you cannot have multiple names on the reservation. Makes sense.
They have quiet hour that starts at 10p. And by quiet hour, they mean get in your tent and do not make a sound.
It’s a shame this place has the owners and managers it does. So much potential wasted. Avoid.

We spent Thanksgiving weekend here and generally had a great time.
Things I liked: Contrary to some of the reviews here, we had a very positive experience with the staff. There was a problem with our reservation (my fault) but they found us a very lovely space anyway. They weren’t buddy buddy but were very professional and helpful, which is fine by me. The office has a small but reasonably well stocked store. The security guys who patrolled the park were friendly. The views are amazing. The restrooms are clean and locked (with a passcode). The park is convenient to lots of beaches and attractions. Geoffrey’s and Kristy’s restaurants are short drives and I recommend both.
Things about which I was ambivalent: It’s a very expensive rv camp. So I’d like to see them spend a few bucks on the wifi and space grading. But it is Malibu and you have to take land values into account, so I cut them some slack on the price.
Things I didn’t like: The wifi was really weak and intermittent (we were on the upper level, which might have been part of the problem). Our space was dirt and sloped slightly downhill. This was okay, since one level of blocks got the rv level enough for the refrigerator to run. But the sewer hookup was on the uphill side. It rained the day we left, which turned the space to mud. Because we don’t have a sewage tank pump, trying to do a sewage dump by gravity flow uphill in the mud and rain was no fun! I’d recommend that they spend a few bucks to terrace the spaces enough that any tilt to the spaces puts the sewer hookup on the downslope side of the space.
