Our 'Tentsite Over Topanga' is a lovely private campsite high above the magical Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga Canyon\. You will be treated to a sweeping view of the verdant Topanga landscape\. Our host, \(Peter Alsop\) will meet you in the parking lot of the world\-renowned Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum, show you where the bathrooms are, and together hike up 300 steps to the camp site\. \(Campers must be fit enough to make this climb\!\) Under the support posts of our former tipi, there is a 20 foot circle where 2 or 3 tents can be set up\. We have a picnic table there for your convenience\. Of course no fires of any kind are permitted, \(including 'no smoking' please\!\)\. You may want to bring pre\-made or delicatessen food and drinks, and come prepared for very warm days and cool nights\. It's a very short path from the Tentsite up to the trail's end at the 'big rock overlook', and that's where the trail ends\! There are many other wonderful hiking trails throughout Topanga in the nearby Santa Monica Mountains State Parks, \.\.\. and the Pacific Ocean beaches are only a :10 minute drive to the South\. Many campers come specifically to see one of the fantastic shows at the Theatricum Botanicum, and then head back up the hill behind our outdoor theater and spend the night with family, friends or a special loved one sleeping under the stars over Topanga\. This 2024 season we are presenting 5 plays: "Wendy's Peter Pan", Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "A Winter's Tale", Moliere's "Tartuffe" and a new play by Paola Aguilar, "The Hispanic/Latino/Latina/Latinx/Latine Vote"\. You can look up "Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum" on you browser and they will have ticket information and dates\. We also have a small bakery on the grounds, where one can find excellent baked goods and coffee for sale on most Sunday mornings\. Families with young children love seeing the lizards, butterflies, woodpeckers and other small wildlife they spotted around the site\. Because a theater operates on the premises , no pets are allowed, and as for your trash, \.\.\. we ask that if you 'pack it in, \.\.\. please pack it out too\!' We seem to have good telephone reception for almost all carriers, but we do not have wireless access\. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: There really is only one small public transportation vehicle available\. It's called "the Beach Bus" and it goes from San Fernando Valley, through Topanga to the beach and back again several times a day\. Not really sure of their schedule, but you search for it and find out if you are interested\. Most people have their own vehicles\. MEETING UP? Peter will contact you and make plans to meet with you at the Theatricum and walk you up to the Tipi in the afternoon, \(before showtime if you have reserved your tickets\. You can come back down and visit to one of Topanga's many local restaurants for lunch or dinner, or just stay at the Tipi and chill\. HIKING Our 'Tentsite Over Topanga' has been a pristine area for a very long time\. If you'ld like to hike in Topanga, the Topanga State Park is only a couple of miles away\. Leave the theater going south, headed toward the ocean\. After about a mile and a half, you will see Entrada Road on your left, which will take you along the edge of the park\. There is the Dead Horse Parking lot almost as soon as you turn onto Entrada, and a main entrance at the top of Entrada\. Dogs are not allowed in the park\. And you must be careful about wild life\. ## Key facts - Check-in: 2:00pm - Check-out: 11:00am - Coordinates: 34.1108513, -118.59285510000001 ## Address Topanga, CA, US ## Amenities - Beach - Canyon - Drinking\_water - Forest - Hike\_in - Hiking - Hill - Mountain - Ocean - Parking - Picnic Table - Picnic\_table - Potable Water - Stargazing - Surfing - Swimming - Tent - Tent\_camping - Tipi - Toilets - Trash - Trash\_disposal - Valley - Wildlife Watching - Wildlife\_viewing ## Structured data (schema.org) Also available as raw JSON: https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/tentsite-over-topanga-topanga-ca.json ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Campground", "@id": "https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/tentsite-over-topanga-topanga-ca", "name": "Tentsite Over Topanga", "description": "Welcome!

There is a bathroom quite a walk down hill.
