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.

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

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

  4. @DondiniMontefusco on December 10, 2024 at 7:39 pm

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

  5. @michaelfitzgerald434 on December 10, 2024 at 7:39 pm

    Best camping: Anywhere!

  6. @douglaslee5775 on December 10, 2024 at 7:40 pm

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

  7. @jerryburg6564 on December 10, 2024 at 7:41 pm

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

    Excellent review, thanks a ton.

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

  10. @leeofficial6 on December 10, 2024 at 7:47 pm

    Thanks

  11. @Deaston54 on December 10, 2024 at 7:48 pm

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

    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.

    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.

  14. @VagaBumAdventures on December 10, 2024 at 7:51 pm

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

  15. @christopherbradley5575 on December 10, 2024 at 7:54 pm

    I thought Californians only camped on the sidewalk.

  16. @rrrose36 on December 10, 2024 at 7:56 pm

    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.

  17. @markphilly5387 on December 10, 2024 at 7:56 pm

    Black lives matter approved?

  18. @rah-mown6392 on December 10, 2024 at 7:57 pm

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

  19. @JohnDoe-xu2vx on December 10, 2024 at 7:59 pm

    Good luck getting a reservation in laguna

  20. @Srorsprimitive on December 10, 2024 at 8:00 pm

    Look at alonely if you sadness but it refresh feeling.

  21. @michaeldeal1625 on December 10, 2024 at 8:07 pm

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

  22. @Francisc0_1 on December 10, 2024 at 8:07 pm

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

  23. @Mr.REEP0 on December 10, 2024 at 8:08 pm

    Lake Isabella isn’t small.. 🤣

  24. @alexamerri2 on December 10, 2024 at 8:13 pm

    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?

  25. @malakaihernandez2235 on December 10, 2024 at 8:13 pm

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

    Missing Joshua Tree

    Death valley California ⚰🪦 😂

    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.

    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.

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

  33. @HammerHed13 on December 10, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    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.

  34. @redb.3885 on December 10, 2024 at 8:28 pm

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

  35. @sariozariu2598 on December 10, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    excellent info

  36. @staygrinding3817 on December 10, 2024 at 8:29 pm

    El capitan is the best💯💯💯

  37. @elsongs on December 10, 2024 at 8:33 pm

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