Me and my family are going camping next weekend and abou 30 of us are going. Does anyone know of a place to go camping in tents that is preety secluded? We want to see alot of animals and trees. We usually go to lodgepole but that place is to public. Anyone have an suggestions?

Answer
Yes split up the group all general campsites are limited to a max of 6-8 unless you can find a dispersed area or a group campsite also you will need reservations, specially if you want to book multiple sites near each other. The Dorst Creek area has great group camping and lots of general campgrounds

First time camper (embarassed about that) looking for recommendations for the best place to go?

Looking for the best experience - of course near/preferably ON a lake or river but able to still be among the trees and in wooded area - not as far as Yosemite (don't have time to drive all the way there) and not crowded...primitive camping OK (going with experienced campers who don't really know the areas in CA)...I just need to know where we can go to have the best experience for a four-five day camping stay. I haven't taken time off from work in over a year and a half and am desperate to figure this out as soon as possible! I have heard Big Bear, Wheelers Gorge, Kahweh and Lake Piru...but I would love to know if those are good places. I know great camping spots are secrets that real campers keep well but I'm begging! Thanks so much to anyone who has time to help me out with this question! Oh, we are looking for tent camping...no RV's... :)

Answer
If you are in CA, Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park are nice. But your best bet is to get a camping guidebook - in CA the best is 'California Camping' by Tom Stienstra.

AAA also has a free camping guide and maps (the maps are more useful than the guide).
