Where are some National parks that you can camp out doors. I have been to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National park but they're to far. I live in orange county,ca and i need some recommendations of places where you can go camping outdoors. I don't want to rent cabins. Camp out with tent etc.
Answer
Orange county hasn't any wilderness camping. There are a few trail camps that are too close to the city in my opinion but none that are "out there" to be away from it all. Crystal cove has a couple of trail camps that have a nice view and Casper's had a trail camp. I have hiked into the santa ana Mt's and camped at the cc camp near joplin spring but that area is now closed to overnight camping. My favorite campground is Bluejay up on the ortega hwy lots of loop trails you can take and great views.
Get out of the oc and there are a lot more, the San gorgonio wilderness and San jacinto wilderness are within an hours drive and have lots of trails and trail camps to get away from it all. Here are a couple of links to get you started.

Camping along California's Central Coast?
daylightpi
We'll be heading north from L.A. toward the Bay area in late December, then maybe the gold country. Would like to go through Ventura and Big Sur, then spend a few days in China Camp in Marin, but we're concerned about finding campsites along that route. Many campgrounds will be closed for the season, and I hear that several state parks are closed due to lack of funding.
Our alternative is to go through Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite because there are national forests all the way, and finding campsites should not be a problem.
We'll be tent camping with our own water, so all we need is a flat piece of ground where we can park the car and pitch a tent.
What can you tell me? If we go up the coast, are there places to camp at this time of year? Any advice will be appreciated. And does anybody know if China Camp is open?
Thanks.
Answer
Telephone China Camp and ask them. I continue to be amazed that people ask a worldwide audience on y/a when you could just drop a dime and phone the place. Makes no sense to me.
I used to live in LA so know that one has to make reservations well in advance, everywhere in California. Too many millions of people all trying to get away at once. You can't just show up and expect to find an available campspace. Pick up the phone.
