I would like to know where some good tent camping spots are in CA. I'm thinking maybe long beach or san diego. I've never been to CA but want to find some nice camping near the airport. I'm only 22 so it's a fortune to rent a car. I like primitive camping and hiking but if there's some good regular campsites that's cool too. Please help me!!!
Answer
If you are 21 and have car insurance you can rent a car in cali, you will pay more but you can the independent car rental agencies are easy to work with. Another option is to rent a Uhaul pick up it may even be cheaper over all. As for beach camping nearly all california beach camping is reserved 6 months in advance. Everything in southern cal is booked solid through september. North coast areas have some non reserved camping but these fill up fast on the weekends. The gold coast is popular for some camping places like the redwoods as stated already but again if its popular and reservable it was already 6 months ago. I would suggest an alternate plan and look at the Eastern SIERRA range, there are a lot more non reservable campgrounds and hundreds of places to camp free in dispersed area's. A beautiful area with lots of primitive camping, fishing, hiking and hot springs is Bishop California and the towns to the north and south from there.

Where's the best tent camping in November in southern California?

Don't want to go to the beach again and don't want to freeze at the Grand Canyon.
Answer
The best camping is at Carpinteria State Beach... In fact, most of the best sites in SoCal are at the beach: El Capitan, Refugio, McGrath, Broome, Leo Carillos, Doheny, San Clemente, South Carlsbad and San Elijo. They are far and away the most popular sites.
However, at this late date, you don't have much of a chance of scoring a site, especially around Thansgiving.
Your best bet might be Lake Cachuma, where it's first-come, first-served. Good luck.

Joshua Tree is going to be almost as cold as the Grand Canyon. It is the high desert. Expected lows for this weekend are expected to be 34 degrees.
