Malibu California Community: Malibu to get an Equestrian Camp Ground?

A while back we suggested a great afternoon activity in the area is pony trekking the Santa Monica mountains, however local equestrians want to take this further.

According to the Malibu Times Local equestrians and the state parks department have agreed upon the perfect spot for a public equestrian campground-the site of President Ronald Reagan’s Malibu ranch at Malibu Creek State Park.

There are nearly 10,000 horses residing around the Santa Monica Mountains Recreation Area, which provides 359 miles of horse-riding trails on about 153,000 acres of public park land. However there is no where to camp with the horses!

Set on seven acres in a flat, grassland meadow at the junction of Mulholland Highway and Cornell Road, the proposed Ronald Reagan Equestrian Campground (RREC) will feature 30 campsites, with two corrals at each site and access to 500 miles of public trails. The planned development would however, need $1.5 million to be constructed.

Equestrians have been pushing the issue for years to the state and local government and finally there is going to be a meeting to discuss the current plans. It will be held at the Mill Creek Equestrian Center in Topanga on September 26th and will begin with a reception at 5:30 p.m., followed by a dressage demonstration at 6:30 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. A donation of $60 per person is requested.

This is exciting news for Malibu and the surrounding area!
