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.

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.
Lake Isabella isn’t small.. 🤣
excellent info
Black lives matter approved?
The Bureau of Land Management doesn’t "approve" campsites like a ratings system or anything like that. They manage US government land.
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?
Very skewed to the Southern 40% to 50% of the state
Look at alonely if you sadness but it refresh feeling.
If you like camping RIGHT NEXT to people, most of these spots will be great
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!

Excellent review, thanks a ton.
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.
San Francisco
Been to Lake Isabella like five times. Great spot. I would choose a more wooded area though.
Goofy commentary. "Humid desert air" LOL…not often
Apparently with all your homeless sleeping under bridges! No thanks!
Missing Joshua Tree
Everyone knows the best camping sites in Cali are the beautiful LA streets
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.
El capitan is the best💯💯💯
Getting YNP campsite is like winning the lottery. FYI winter is the time to go imo
Death valley California ⚰🪦 😂
What does it mean when you say "BLM approved campground?" I’ve never heard of BLM approving campgrounds, they just manage federal land.
Super useful channel — you deserve to have way more subscribers!
I thought Californians only camped on the sidewalk.
Best camping: Anywhere!
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.
Love how not all of the sites are not popular and well known
FYI El Capitan SB is closed at this time (March 2023) due to storm damage and there is no date for reopening.
I’ve stayed st Morrow in Laguna Beach and it wasn’t free
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.
Too bad you left off the great state of Northern California. The best camping is north of SF.

Good luck getting a reservation in laguna
Thanks
I’m glad Black Lives Matter loves these camping spots so much
