What are some great places to tent camp in southern California?




rock&roll


hi, my family is looking for a good place to camp in socal for the 4th of july. we are willing to make reservations, or first come first serve is fine also. we've been camping before, it was really fun, and we want another place this year. one condition is that we are a big family, it's going to be 6 adults, 4 kids and 4 teenagers. so we need a place with things to do like at least a lake or river to swim in, beach camping or mountain camping are both great. my mom is picky (im one of the teens) and doesnt want to be camping too close to other people or campers, we the teens NEED something to do. the kids will just be hanging around eating marshmallows. it absolutely has to be TENT camping. we also want there to be at least both water AND electricity at the sites. clean toilets/showers are good too, last year we went to a place with just port a potties, and it was fine, but stinky. not too expensive either!!!
thank you very much!



Answer
Southern california will be difficult to find a reserve-able campsite for July 4th, most get booked 6 months in advance specially with all the features your asking. Your best bet is to look into getting an RV if you need all those features and camp in a dispersed area for the weekend. here are a couple of links to help you find that right spot,

Good luck!

Tent camping in California?




Mook


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.
