We will be traveling west with our 25' trailer on I10 to CA in December and would like to visit the Getty Museum. Does anyone have a recommendation on where to camp that would avoid as much LA traffic as possible and still be close enough for day trips to the museum?
The Getty museum is right next to I-405 and in the only small stretch between the 5/405 interchange south of Santa Clarita and San Clemente that does NOT have a HOV (commuter) lane. Dealing with LA traffic is inevitable, I'm sorry to say, and the stretch between the 405/101 exchange and the 405/10 exchange is the worse part of I-405 IMHO.

Sorry , can't tell you about any CG's near Getty, however don't pass it by, we went and enjoyed every minute........we were staying in Anahiem near Disney & Knotts berry farm.....once you get to the Getty, they have a good parking and tranportation tram/trian up to the Museum.
Have fun and enjoy.......oh , I drove there from Anahiem, is a little crowded, typical So CAl traffic.......

Jim,
I'm in the Birmingham Trailer Village, 7740 Balboa Blvd., Van Nuys, CA, Phone 818-785-0949. I go by the Getty Musem daily on my way to work. This is the closest.
If you like, there is a State campground nearby, about an hours drive in traffic, Leo Carrillo is at the Ventura/Los Angeles county line. They don't have hook-ups, but they have a dump station. Nice drive down PCH "Pacific Coast Highway" to Sunset and then inland. Lots of other things to do in the area, Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, and a California Mission in Ventura to the north. Leo Carrillo would give you a nice jumping off point. If you need hook ups, in Ventura next to Hwy 101, there is a park with full amenities.
Happy Trails...
