Tucked in the canyons above Malibu and nestled below majestic Boney Mountain, you will find Circle X Ranch. This former Boy Scout camp offers many opportunities for exploration and adventure.

Journey to Sandstone Peak, the highest point in the Santa Monica Mountains, and see several of the Channel Islands on a clear day. Enjoy a visit to the Grotto or a creekside picnic. Reserve the Group Camp and listen to coyote songs at night.

• Dogs must be on a 6’ or shorter leash at all times. For the health and consideration of others, clean up after your pet. Dogs are not permitted in the backcountry of Point Mugu State Park.
