Winter camping in Socal?




allybear17


We live in San Diego, and we're looking to go camping over thanksgiving week somewhere OUTSIDE of San Diego, but not more than 5 or 6 hours away.. We'd like to be able to ride our mountain bikes, and have cell phone signal (so that takes out Joshua tree, death valley, and mojave)...

Any ideas? We'll be tent camping...
I already said I can't go to mojave, jt, or dv.. We have a 2 year old son that we'll be leaving with my parents, and I HAVE to have cell phone signal. JT and mojave don't have it. As far as death valley goes, you can only ride your bike on the roads, and not on any of the trails.



Answer
There is no limit to So Cal! Do you have to mountain bike or could biking all over to get from A to B be in the possibilities? I might suggest camping in Mission Bay you can ride to La Jolla, all around M B, P B, even to O B and out to Point Loma
Or if you want you can camp at Lake Morena off the 15 east past El Cajon I am not sure of the season at Lake Wofford in Escondido but you could also camp at San Elijo, San Onofre, El Cariso (above Lake Elsinore and lots of fire trails to ride on) or Lake Skinner. Something else tent camping at the beach won't have any campfire problems like the mountains have right now following the two year drought and red flag warnings inland.

how much do they charge to go camping to california?

how much do they charge to go camping to california. to any national park


Answer
Yosemite NP is the most popular National Park in California and charges an entrance fee of $20 per vehicle good for one week. A one year pass for Yosemite is $40 and an annual pass good for all National Parks in the USA is $80. Other National Parks in California (Sequoia/Kings Canyon, Death Valley, Joshua Tree) charge between $10 and $20 for a similar one week pass. http://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/feesandreservations.htm

Camping in Yosemite National Park and other national parks can cost anywhere from free for backcountry camping, which would require backpacking several miles into the wilderness, to $14 for campgrounds outside Yosemite Valley, and $20 for those in the valley, to a tent cabin in Camp Curry (in the valley) for over $100 per night. If you're coming in the summer you ought to make reservations at least six months ahead of your visit because the campgrounds fill up quickly.

Other National Parks have reservation systems as well, and you can plan your trip and lodgings from their websites.

A good guidebook for each National Park would be valuable as well for planning your vacation.
