Yes, I live in LA county, I know it's not foresty in the way Yosemite or Sequoia are so I'm using that word loosely. I'm thinking San Bernadino Mountains, a bit further is ok.... any good places to camp?
Thanks!
Answer
go to Kernville Ca its about a 2 hour drive. Kernville has the foresty feel your looking for and theres a lot to do like white water rafting, hiking, mountain biking. and if you want you can take a trip to the Sequoias which is only 45 mins. I recommend Camp James for the foresty type feel you want and it is right on the Kern River.

Any recommendations on kids friendly camp grounds near Los Angeles?
Marisol
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!
