Hello! This will be our 1st family camping trip. I have 2 girls one just turned 17mos, and the other is 7yrs old. So we are looking for kid friendly camp ground near Los Angeles, I'm hoping they have activities for them where hiking is also included, either way any ideas would be very helpful, we dont mind making some driving. Thank You in advance!!
Answer
The most kid-friendly campground around Los Angeles is Carpinteria State Beach. There are MANY families there, and we never have any problems finding playmates and activities for our youngest, who is now 10. In fact, we are going there this weekend.
There are nature programs, ranger programs (although some are limited by budget), a nature center, and campfire programs. However, the main activity that kids do is either playing on the beach with other kids, or riding bikes/scooters/skateboards. You can also walk into the nice little town there.
Our youngest is now 10, and her job since she was about 4 or 5 has been to make a friend. It's not hard. The place is overrun with kids. When she finds a friend, she tells us where she is via walkie-talkie. Yeah, it's that safe. We've met a lot of nice folks this way.
There's a cute little town you can walk through, which includes an old fashioned candy store and a Foster's Freeze. There are local favorites, like the Spot (burgers) or the Palms (cook your own steaks). If you've had a rough day, you can even have pizza delivered to your campsite. It's just that cool. Our oldes, now 27, is coming with us once again with her hubby, and she has many fond memories. My guess is that she'll start making some memories with her own family in a couple years.
But keep in mind, sites are already booked for the summer. Your best chance is to go to reserveamerica.com and check to see if there are any cancellations. Sites book 6 months in advance. I made reservations for this weekend back on November 1. Good luck!

Answer
Big Bear is tooooo cold now for camping. Wonderful places on the beach north of Malibu (State Parks) , 40 minutes and North of Ventura , hour and half, Get their County park system info 805-649-1122. Extremely difficult to get reservations in the summer, but now, especially on a week day is good. Call 805-654-3951: Faria and Rincon Park Way are first come basis, Hobson is reservations. If they are full for reservatons, as the State Park in Carpenteria often is, show up early on day you wish to camp and get someone's no show. Also great beach camping north of Santa Barbara (All State Parks). Two and half hours. If it is foggy at beach (as it has been the past week) then there is Lake Casitas, north of Ventura on way to Ojai, hour and half to two hours, call 805-647-1122 , lots of camping close to water. Select site appropriate for you as there can be partying noise into the night at some sites. If reservations are full and for on spur of moment you can call individual camp ground for a place. Have fun. I love camping in all of the above! There is more rustic camping higher into Ventura County's mountains to may wish to explore on Internet or calling around for info.
