any of the campgrounds in the big sur area. Beautiful large pines and cypress everywhere. Dozens of hiking trails, close and mostly easy coastal access, and beautiful coastline. To boot, epic fishing from the kayak or from shore. There is an inshore rockfish fishery up there that even puts local inshore boat stuff to shame. Multiple times ive seen 20+ lb lingcod and big blue and brown rockfish and massive cabezon.
if you plan on fishing the shore or the kayaks check out www.pierfishing.com and look up a guy surf samurai and he should point you in the right direction for fishing from shore. Lots of guys on there that can point you in the right direction on launch points for the kayak as well. |

Carpinteria beach, if you want to camp right on the beach you need to reserve way ahead. However, there are a bunch of sites that are in the back rows and in the grass area you can probably still get.
Great fishing from the beach with usually mild surf. Hiking trail along the coast, visit the sea lion rookery on the south end of the campground. Perfect family place. |

I too was going to suggest the eastern sierras. So many places to fish and camp up there. Also many other great coastal suggestions above.
I guess it really depends where you live and how far you want to drive. picacho is fun and is slated to be closed at the end of the month so may be a good time to go and enjoy the fishing and camping there. http://www.friends4picacho.org/ |
