I just moved to norCal and i am interesting in backpacking i was wondering how i go about finding places to take 4 or 5 day trips. I think i wanted to go to the redwoods first and but i can’t find any info on overnight backpacking. i have found alot on car camping but thats not what i want. thanks.
We often visit the Burlington Campground near Meyer’s Flat in Humboldt State Park. We are planning a trip to Jedediah State Redwood Campground.
How does it compare to Burlington?
Thanks!
I reserved camp number 27. For the weeks we are going, everything along the river is booked already 
Do you know anything about number 27? Is it big? We will have 8 people, 2 dogs, 1 car, 1 van, and a travel trailer. It’s a 36" drive through spot. I hope it’s nice. The kids like to set up about 4 huge tents (some to sleep in, some to play in). I know in Burlington there was enough room for all that. I just hope the actual sites are big, or even bigger then in Burlington. I can’t wait to go camping!!!
Top 5 California Camping Spots
From dense redwood forests to coastal buffs; high waves for surfing to calmer waters for fishing; jagged granite peaks to placid Alpine lakes, California’s diverse terrain offers a wealth of outdoor activities. There’s plenty of opportunities for camping and you can choose from coastal camping, country camping, mountain camping, desert camping or city camping.
Here are the top 5 camping spots in California:
Pismo Beach
An ideal coastal camping spot, Pismo Beach offers campers plenty of things to see and do including clam hunting for the famous Pismo clam, surf fishing and some great swimming and hiking in summer. The park houses the nation’s largest wintering colony of Monarch Butterflies and in winter the annual migration of millions of these colorful insects is what draws people from all over the world. The tree-lined beach offers plenty of bird-watching opportunities. At Ocean Lagoon, there is a fishing overhang that is accessible even for wheelchairs.
Clear Lake
Spectacular rolling hills in the back ground, pristine surroundings, abundant wildlife and a huge recreational lake in close proximity to the camp grounds make Clear Lake a popular camping spot. This camping spot near San Francisco Bay is an ideal family getaway all year round and is a great opportunity to experience the thrill of fishing in a clear lake while drinking in the beauty of the mountains that rise and fall against the horizon.
Big Bear Lake
If mountain camping is more your thing, there’s no better place than Big Bear Lake. Ideal for camping in summer as well as winter, Big Bear Lake offers campers a wide variety of activities including kayaking, fishing and hiking. There are plenty of cabins and hotels to rent when you’ve had enough of camping but cannot tear yourself away from the spot.
Holcomb Valley Campground
Located in the spectacular San Bernardino Mountains and in close proximity to the famous Seven Oaks Trail, Holcomb Valley Campground is the quintessential camping ground. Plenty of hiking trails including the Forsee Creek Trail, the South Fork Trail and the Siberia Creek Trail amongst others, makes this camp ground a delightful destination for trekking enthusiasts. On clear days, San Bernardino Peak Trail beckons all die-hard trekkers. When you’ve finished exploring the various hiking trails you could just ramble around the San Bernardino National Forest or just sit back and drink in the sight of the majestic Bertha Peak. Plenty of opportunities for swimming, hiking and fishing means there’s not a moment to be bored. With fabulous snow at Snow Summit, even winters are a great time for camping at the Holcomb Valley Campground.
Hanna Flat, Big Bear Lake
Hanna Flat is a convenient camping spot for those campers who’s love to experience the outdoors but don’t fancy the idea of venturing too far off from the comforts of urban living. Situated two miles away from Fawnskin on a dirt road, Hanna Flat lays nestled amongst majestically large pine trees. There’s plenty of space and rather good privacy at every campsite.

Grant was so helpful with tour advise on our bike trek in the Redwood National Park. I would come here again and look forward to more bike and hiking trips in the future. The cabins were so nice and we felt at home.

I am having trouble deciding what we should do next year for our getaways. We live in Northern California. So far we are going to Monterrey for the weekend in May for our anniversary and camping in Oregon in August.
So the choices are:
Take a train ride up through oregon and washington visiting Portland and Seattle and arriving in Canada and spending the rest of the time in Vancouver. Then flying back home.
Flying to the east coast and visiting friends, we will be in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
I am planning a family vacation. I have a 2 and 5 year old. I remember the pictures of people driving through the forest looking at the trees. I am not sure how much hiking and walking will be required.
I would like an outdoor trip for the family. We’ve never been out camping and it is a shame.
If you have any other suggestions it would be appreciated. Keep in mind that the only seasoned camper in our group is my husband. I am not ready to carry 2 kids up a mountain. 
I am going to be camping in the redwood forest for 2 weeks. Are there vary many bears there?
My parents are taking my husband, my baby(who will be just shy of four months), and me to Disneyland and some other CA attractions. I need tips on going with an extremely low budget(they are paying for it, but aren’t very well off, just determined to go!), and making life a little easier being there with a baby. We will be stopping in Las Vegas on the way and probably spending the night. It is about 19 hours in a car both directions. The biggest help I need is with bringing food to prevent eating out. However, any tips would be WONDERFUL!
The family joke is that Disneyland is our "Mecca", we have to go as often as we can. The reason my dad is so determined to go is because he wants to go with the whole family(my brother(16) and sister(15) are going as well) around the time each grandchild is born. We don’t do many family vacations besides camping, but Disneyland is a constant! So I’m not too worried about my baby not remembering this trip because we have always gone at least once every five years or so(once when my brother was only one month old!).
I’m also BFing. And it’s not like we are doing a daytrip to Disneyland. This is going to be like, a ten day vacation involving Disneyland, the beach, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, and I don’t know what else yet.
I want to go see the huge sequoia trees in California. I really want to go camping within the forest, & take a lot of photos, looking up. Then I want to paint paintings from them. Any ideas? Anyone done it before?
I plan on flying out to eureka, and going forth from there. I am planning on camping and need a mode of transport to one of the parks. I am on a budget so spending 0 on a car rental for the week is too much. Any suggestions on places to visit, camp, rent a scooter?
I live in oc a city like suburban area…im open for change but i dont want to feel like im on a permanent camping trip………. It is beautiful there that is what draws me … but I dont want to feel really secluded..im not hippy and i don’t smoke weed..but the college has my major of internet engineer..
