Anyone know any good campsites with fishing, tall redwoods nearby, in CA Bay Area SaC Area?
Id like to find a campsite that is right next to the water among tall trees, good fishing, and among nature and all its wonders.

That is a tall order, since Redwoods do not grow at the beach. There is the CA Redwoods above Santa Rosa going tword Calistoga, but no fishing that I know of. Im not a fisherperson. Check map quest, may be lakes back there with fish.
On the other hand, going toward Tahoe there is a creek called Silver Creek with fishing, pine trees, peace, great place to be alone or they do have a campsite. I usually go off on my own down riverr.
Good Luck
There is a beautiful spot north of Bodega bay called the Gualala river. In the same area is the Garcia river. You can camp at Manchester state beach on the beach. Or there is a KOA camp place up the road. Fifty bucks a night will get you a small cabin or a trailer with water and shower. The Gualala is absolutely beautiful there are a lot of neat shops in town and a nice little chart house to eat overlooking the ocean and waves. Along the river are huge trees, ferns and stuff it’s beautiful. The only fish you will be after is steelhead (ocean run trout) they are pretty big. The rivers are open until mid April with strict gear regulations. If the rivers are high try alder creek. Just plan on drifting salmon roe or night crawlers. Bright colored spinners and bright orange spinners work well too. It is all catch and release but the average fish is 4-8 pounds with 20 pounders possible. I have been there sometimes and not caught a thing but still had a wonderful trip. It is a very special spot not many people know about. Have fun!
