Is Cambria in California a good place to go to for a vacation?
I am looking for a quiet, green, jungle like area near Los Angeles to stay in for a couple of nights on a vacation. Does anyone know of Cambria? Does it enjoy natural sightseeing where I can relax for a couple of days? If so where do you recommend I stay at? If not any other suggestions?

It’s not a crowded area at all, so yes, it is DEFINITELY a quiet calm place to chill.
Well, I went there this past weekend, and it was very relaxing.
It’s not jungle by any means, but rather like forest that meets the ocean. Breath-taking views. It’s super close to Monterey, and to Big Sur which are coastal sleepy little beach towns.
You can take a day trip to Hearst Castle, which I HIGHLY recommend, it’ll blow your mind.
You can rent a bike a travel "17 mile" which is an easy-ish trail right along the coast and see some rather breathtaking view point of the beach and of the natural Cypress trees that grow there.
There are several spots along highway 1 near Big Sur to do some hiking.
The whole area is very relaxing, but things shut down around 10pm. Keep that in mind.
Great seafood and great wine.
