Located close to civilization but far enough to feel miles and miles away, you can find some much needed peace of mind in the form of a campsite. A mini road trip to an overnight staycation is just what the doctor ordered. Nothing beats a few restorative days sleeping under the stars and taking in some much needed fresh air, so why not escape somewhere close by and experience more of what Mother Nature has to offer. Give yourself a break this weekend and enjoy one of these excellent campground getaways. And just a little tip: always remember to check road advisories and if campgrounds are open before you go. No ones likes to head back home before planned. camping spots in los angeles Thornhill Broome Campground https://www.instagram.com/p/BfiupAWHyCG/?taken-at=1033669825 Located in the glorious Point Mugu State Park, the Thornhill Broome campground sits on the beach and hugs the breezy shoreline.
