Camping near Simi Valley
Simi Valley sits in eastern Ventura County, within an hour of both the Pacific coast and the Los Angeles basin. The location puts RV travelers within reach of three distinct camping landscapes: the Santa Monica Mountains to the south, the Los Padres National Forest and Lake Piru to the north, and the Malibu coast to the southwest. Options range from developed state park campgrounds to full hookup RV resorts.
Malibu Creek State Park - Family Camp, on the north side of the Santa Monica Mountains, offers state park camping with creekside sites and miles of trails. Lake Piru Recreation Area, set in the Los Padres National Forest and managed by a concessionaire, provides more than 200 sites with lake access. Closer to the I-5 corridor, Valencia Travel Village RV Resort and Walnut RV Park cater to big rigs with full hookups. Malibu Beach RV Park sits along the Pacific Coast Highway for those wanting ocean views. Most parks operate year round, though wildfire risk and winter storms can affect access.
Things to do near Simi Valley
Hiking dominates the Santa Monica Mountains side of the trip. Malibu Creek State Park - Family Camp accesses about 15 miles of streamside trail through oak and sycamore woodlands, with destinations including rock pools and the former M*A*S*H filming location. Wildlife viewing is common, with deer and a wide variety of birds in the canyons. At Lake Piru Recreation Area, the lake supports boating, waterskiing, kayaking, and a designated swim beach, and the lake holds bass, trout, catfish, crappie, and bluegill. A 9-hole disc golf course and playground sit near the day-use area. Coastal trips from Malibu Beach RV Park add Zuma Beach, Malibu Pier, and the Getty Villa to the itinerary. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library sits in Simi Valley itself.

68° / 50°F 25 mmMildest camping window; state park sites book six months out
- summer
June - August
84° / 59°F 1 mmHot and arid inland; carry extra water for canyon sites

December - February
63° / 45°F 65 mmWettest season; January and February bring most of the annual rain
The area has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Summers are clear and arid, with daytime highs commonly in the upper 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit, and overnight lows drop noticeably after sunset. Carry extra water for inland sites like Lake Piru and inland Malibu Creek.
Spring is the most comfortable window for camping. March through May brings mild temperatures, wildflowers, and creek flow in the Santa Monica Mountains. Reservations for popular state park sites open six months in advance on a rolling daily window, and peak weekends fill quickly.
Fall is the prime wildfire window. September and October are historically among the most damaging months for California wildfires, when hot, dry Santa Ana winds blow from the interior toward the coast. Red flag warnings, campfire bans, and public safety power shutoffs are common, and parks can close on short notice. Winter brings the bulk of the annual rainfall, with January and February the wettest months. Roads to lake and canyon campgrounds can wash out during major storms.

Oscar114 trips - Joined Jul 2022
What an amazing trip!! Oscar and his crew (his 2-boys 💪) came out and got everything setup the day we were scheduled to arrive, even had chairs setup with a nice mat in the front area! The trailer had everything you could imagine, and even had speakers inside/out for full party 🥳 mode when needed! We were 2-adults, 1-kid, 1-infant and had plenty of space. We hadn't been camping in a while, and first time with the kiddos, so this made everything so EASY!! After we were done, Oscar and his boys came to take down the trailer (probably 15-minutes total!) and they were gone! Will definitely be booking with Oscar and his boys again! Thanks for the wonderful family memories, cheers 🍻
Antonio F. - Aug 2026
Oscar is the best host! Friendly and welcoming. Communication and planning were excellent. He had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. RV was clean and well stocked. Oscar explained all the features and functions clearly and accurately. I accidentally gave the wrong spot number and Oscar swapped us over no problem and all smiles. Highly recommend this host.
