Camping in southern California (orange county)?
Where are some National parks that you can camp out doors. I have been to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National park but they’re to far. I live in orange county,ca and i need some recommendations of places where you can go camping outdoors. I don’t want to rent cabins. Camp out with tent etc.
Orange county hasn’t any wilderness camping. There are a few trail camps that are too close to the city in my opinion but none that are “out there” to be away from it all. Crystal cove has a couple of trail camps that have a nice view and Casper’s had a trail camp. I have hiked into the santa ana Mt’s and camped at the cc camp near joplin spring but that area is now closed to overnight camping. My favorite campground is Bluejay up on the ortega hwy lots of loop trails you can take and great views.
Get out of the oc and there are a lot more, the San gorgonio wilderness and San jacinto wilderness are within an hours drive and have lots of trails and trail camps to get away from it all. Here are a couple of links to get you started.
