A retreat in a steep canyon with beautiful ridgelines in the Malibu Creek area. Private camp spots and hidden trails away from it all, but yet so close. Only 30 Minutes from the Santa Monica Pier or 15 Minutes to the beaches of Malibu, still it feels like being a world away. You wouldn't expect nature to be so pristine and exciting that close to the city.

AntFarm LA

Looking for a quick escape from the city for a peaceful place to recharge? AntFarm LA offers a private, quiet retreat in nature where you can disconnect from the buzz of city life with the convenience of the city nearby.

Hand-built with love and a couple of shovels by our family and friends, this hike-in, tent-only site is the perfect oasis for locals and visitors alike. As you embark on the short hike up, you will experience breathtaking views, shaded trails, and a sense of calm as you arrive at your campsite. You’ll enjoy stunning sunsets, sunrises, and the tranquil sound of birds chirping—an idyllic backdrop to clear your mind.

We’ve thoughtfully added a few comforts so you can enjoy nature without completely leaving modern conveniences behind. Take advantage of amenities like a refrigerator, sink, a bathroom with a flushable toilet, and a shower to refresh after a day of exploring. We also have a few electrical outlets and WiFi if you need to stay connected online or charge your devices.

If you want to howl at the moon, we have some more remote hike-in campsites available. Send us a message for details.

Out of respect to our neighbors, we do not allow car camping in our parking lot. Car or RV sleeping is permitted on our Van Pad site only, although we do not provide RV hookups. To protect the privacy of others and the exclusivity of the retreat, we ask that you do not disclose the purpose of your stay to anyone outside of AntFarm LA, including surrounding neighbors. You may identify yourself as a guest or a friend, if asked. 

To preserve the quiet, off-the-grid atmosphere we’ve created, we ask that you respect our noise curfew of 10PM. We look forward to having you stay!

Hill Top camping area, there’s also another spot next to this one 

There’s also a Fridge to store your food !

A cool vintage camper can thats in the works !

Tentsite Over Topanga

     Welcome!  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.

Small table and chairs under the Manzanita.
