best tent camping joshua tree image
Rob James
I'm looking to take a 2 or 3 day trip with the girlfriend and was looking to find a camping area that's good for pitching a tent during January. I live in Orange County and was hoping to not go too far north. I'd say Santa Barbara and below. I hear Joshua Tree would probably be too cold at night. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Any of the coastal ranges are good this time of year, In the O.C. there is a nice hike in campsite in the crystal cove state park, few know about it it's about a mile and a half into the back portion of the park. Up the coast is Malibu state there are many car camp sites and a couple of hike in campsites there as well. If your looking to car camp, Casper's regional park on the ortega hwy in the OC has some great tent sites and Doheny beach is popular. Going south to San Diego county I like Rancho Cuyamaca state park they have hike in camp sites as well as car camp sites. Keep in mind jan/feb are the coldest months for camping in Kalifornistan and many campgrounds close for the winter definitely those above 5000ft.. here is couple of links to get you started
