The 10 Best Camping Sites In California

It’s incredible to think that in just one state, you can camp up high in the snow, down low in thick green forests, in deserts or at the beach. California has it all. In this video, you'll see some of the best free, cheap and expensive campsites that you can visit in California.

    This video is a visual ode to solo camping, where the solo overlanding spirit dances with the elements. From the vast landscapes to the crackling campfire, it's an intimate portrayal of the solo adventurer's sanctuary.

    All good but #1-10 could be Yosemite. Check the places and the permits to hike to even close places off the road. If you are willing to backpack, you are open to so many more sites. Make sure you make reservations in advance. You will see more places in a smaller area than almost any place on earth. This is from a CA native who has been many times.

    The Bureau of Land Management doesn't "approve" campsites like a ratings system or anything like that. They manage US government land.

    This is sad. The narrator and writers of this script give one the feeling that they have never been to California. There is another half of the state that puts the recommended sites to shame. Camping in Laguna Beach…give me a break.

    Williams hill is not in Big Sur. Not even close. It is San Ardo miles east of Big Sur accessible from hwy 101 not hwy 1. He says just south of Big Sur state park, what a joke.

    Imagine thinking that any camp site on a "list" that is being told to the general public is the best. How naive. Do you really think that a quality campsite would be just told to most people who don't know what LNT is or haven't got the knowledge nor skills to travel into actual wilderness?
