Malibu Creek State Park earned a nickname as the Yosemite of California thanks to its 8,000 acres of natural beauty, but it’s more famous to television fans as the site where the shows “M*A*S*H” and “Planet of the Apes” were filmed. It’s still possible to see some of the old vehicles from the filming of “M*A*S*H,” as well as the show’s iconic sign post.

Parking

All day parking is $12, and on weekdays an honor system is employed through a self-pay system — but the good news is that the day fee covers same day access and parking at any other California state park or beach, too.
