We just camped at San Clemente state beach for a family xmas party. I definitely want to go back and camp there again.

Tucalota is our Regal Begal campground. Something kinda dive barish to go to for a quick weekend. Not many people know about it. Funny you mentioned it. Drunk tractor rides [emoji106]
If you want something higher end near the ocean you can try Chula Vista RV Park. Nice place but shitty area. Great view of the Tijuana hill lol
For State Parks, I've been to just about every one locally, and as Riverbound said San Clemente is our favorite. San Elijo and Carlsbad are fun too. Silver Strand if you want to do San Diego.
Santee Lakes usually fills up early on holidays. Vail and Skinner in Temecula. Like OSB mentioned, do Skinner if you want to do the wineries.
Anybody have some good spots in socal? Pics? I have a 28 ft travel trailer and I'm looking for new spots. Thanks
Yeah Tucalota is kind of redneck, but I like it.
I used to store my 5er there pretty cheap!
The people are nice and there is a store in case you forget something.
I also forgot to mention Campland by the Bay. Expensive but its a nice park.
I'll be at Campland tomorrow. $500 for the holiday weekend [emoji15]
Thanks everyone for the info. I've done bolsa Chica a couple times and going to try San Mateo this weekend. Looking forward to mountain camping this spring.

For your hair dryer?Both I have a generator
Sux to hear, I haven't been their in years. Has the lake Piru crowd spread further north?
For your hair dryer?
If you want solitude, Owens River just south of Mammoth Airport. Dry camping but great fishing. View attachment 454481
Be quiet you...
This place is closed.
One place I don't mind telling people about is Kenedy/Monache meadows. It's absolutely Beautiful in the summer, but it's a BITCH to get to!!! I had to put my gas truck in low range to get up the hill to it. The 7.3 got the trailer up there, but it was slow going indeed.
If you have the equipment and balls to attack it, it's totally worth the adventure. :thumbsup
I have seen the road, looks sketchy to say the least.
There is a place by Needles called Pirates Cove I think they have camping
For your hair dryer?
I haven't been there but my dad has gone up there a couple times in the summer with his 30' 5er toyhauler. He said the way way up was fine. The way down though was difficult. His '04 dirtymax was getting hot constantly. Had to switch between engine braking and truck brakes a few times to keep the heat fairly evenly distributed.One place I don't mind telling people about is Kenedy/Monache meadows.
