best place go camping california image
AJ
My family and I are looking for a great place to camp in California. We love being surrounded by redwoods, but would like to stay near central California (close to where we live). Yosemite is booked and we have stayed at the KOA in Santa Cruz and liked it. Does anyone have any other suggestions on great places for a family with young children?
Answer
Good evening AJ,
I hope you are having a great day. AJ, it is very hard to pick out a good location if I do not know what type camping you mean? Do you like tent, cabin, or sleeping bags? I like rough areas with fly fishing and hiking. I made three (3) trips last year into the Mighty High Sierras Mountains. I usually hike over Kearsarge Pass, which is an old Indian trail, to Bull Frog at 10,000 feet. I have been camping and hiking the Sierras since 1958.
I remember as kids we would lie in our sleeping bags and count shooting stars all night. Your mind would run amok with the wonders and vastness of space. You could point out and view constellations which until then were part of chapters in a school text book. We would fall asleep viewing the heavens and our own Milky Way.

Some of my best camping trips were with my family as a kid in Yosemite. We could not wait to see the fire falls at night (website below). I feel so sorry for people like you and your family, especially the kids. The fire falls stopped in 1968. Today, you must have an appointment for two years in advance to get a camping spot. The crowds are unbelievable, times change.

As for your question, I ready do not know how rough you want. Try Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon National Park. They should have some openings. I tried to give websites with phone numbers.

My favorite camping locations are along the Kern River. I can always find a good location because I know the area like the back of my hand. The camping can be mild to rough. I have included websites with phone numbers. On the first website, click on Hospital Flat and Camp 3. Both sites are right next to slow moving riverâ¦.great areas for kids.

I wish you were interested in coming south of Los Angeles. There are some great camping spots for families with kids. I know it may be too far.

Where is the best place to go camping in Southern California?
Manda Pand
Okay basically I am looking for somewhere to camp in So. California. I reside in San Diego so I would like to go no futher than about 2 hours away in any direction. I would prefer a place in woods type setting. A place to be able to swim is very important to us. Anyone know any fun, pretty places to camp?
Yeah I have been to La Jolla Indian Reservation and didn't like it at all. It was very rowdy and pretty dirty. A lot of ghetto people. That is why I threw in the woods thing because La Jolla is more of campground than real camping...yuck!
Answer
Have you looked at Palomar Mountain State Park? It's got the woods, nice campsites, and it's gorgeous. No swimming up on the mountain top, but you would be able to do a day trip to the La Jolla Indian Reservation and go innertubing on the river there, provided there's enough water flow. You can camp at the Indian Reservation, but I've heard it gets pretty rowdy.
