There are many, many more than 5,000 miles of trails in California. Some of them you will find in Yosemite National Park, some in the Sierra Nevada, some at the North Shore and some on the Pacific Coast. Each one promises adventure and relaxation like none other. Make a point to get out and enjoy yourself.
There are also many huts in California not maintained by the state, which you can rent for a one-way trip. One downside to staying at these non-state maintained sites is the price tag, which can add up. However, if you picked your camping spot, used it once and then left it you won’t have to worry about it.
Climbering or hiking?
California also has great hiking and climbing possibilities. Mt. Whitney is a very popular place to climb. This famous mountain has a reputation for having “the most dangerous trail in the world,” which is the Pacific Crest Highway. The trail is very popular because it is easy to access and offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. However, there are hikers and mountaineers who find it a challenge to get to the top.
California also has rivers, lakes and streams. It has rich fishing and RV campgrounds, lakeside resorts and several reservoirs. These streams and rivers are a great place to getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city and get back to nature. There are also many old growth forests in California that are untouched and magical. Once you come to California, you will want to stay. There are a lot of different places to stay, depending on your comfort zone. You can stay in Yosemite National Park, the lowlands of Los Angeles, the mountains of the Channel Islands, or the coastal areas of Santa Barbara and California.
Follow the Rules
While most states haveilolegal methods of camping, California is no exception. The Golden State has a few unique rules that must be followed when camping or even just visiting their parks. Here are a few tips that will keep you safe and help keep you and your loved ones safe.
The golden state has 23 different types of meal regulations. When camping in California, you will need to purchase show tickets to see any performances of art. This means you will need to be seated during the show, but you will be allowed to take part in the performances after.

Camel backpacking
While most people prefer to take tours, some find that the RV aspect of camping is what they enjoy most. Camping in an RV is not for everyone. They prefer to take the time required to get their equipment together before hitting the road. There are many different campgrounds in California, so you will need to do a little research before you decide to take an RV trip. You can find information on specific locations through the California Parks Department’s Onsite Sites page.
