The 10 Best Camping Sites In California

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.

  1. 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.

  2. I’m glad Black Lives Matter loves these camping spots so much

  3. Apparently with all your homeless sleeping under bridges! No thanks!

  4. Love how not all of the sites are not popular and well known

    Excellent review, thanks a ton.

  6. Death valley California ⚰🪦 😂

  7. Too bad you left off the great state of Northern California. The best camping is north of SF.

  8. Missing Joshua Tree

  9. Very skewed to the Southern 40% to 50% of the state

    I thought Californians only camped on the sidewalk.

  11. excellent info

  12. If you like camping RIGHT NEXT to people, most of these spots will be great

    Best camping: Anywhere!

  14. Getting YNP campsite is like winning the lottery. FYI winter is the time to go imo

  15. 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.

  16. Goofy commentary. "Humid desert air" LOL…not often

  17. If you’re staying in Death Valley, Big Sur, Yosemite, or Laguna Beach, be sure to also watch our videos featuring the best things to do there!

  18. What does it mean when you say "BLM approved campground?" I’ve never heard of BLM approving campgrounds, they just manage federal land.

  19. Everyone knows the best camping sites in Cali are the beautiful LA streets

  20. FYI El Capitan SB is closed at this time (March 2023) due to storm damage and there is no date for reopening.

  21. San Francisco

  22. 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?

  23. Black lives matter approved?

  24. 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.

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

  26. Lake Isabella isn’t small.. 🤣

  27. Too late for the Alabama Hills, it’s been overrun by the next IPA drinking, internet sensation and his clueless crew, that think trash is left as a souvenir for the next guy.

  28. Thanks

    Been to Lake Isabella like five times. Great spot. I would choose a more wooded area though.

  30. The Bureau of Land Management does not create laws. Congress creates laws. The BLM implements laws and creates regulations that implement the laws in the lands that they manage for the American people.

  31. Super useful channel — you deserve to have way more subscribers!

  32. I’ve stayed st Morrow in Laguna Beach and it wasn’t free

  33. El capitan is the best💯💯💯

  34. Look at alonely if you sadness but it refresh feeling.

  35. Good luck getting a reservation in laguna

  36. 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.
