Place to go camping in California?

Q. I'm looking for a decent place to go tent camping in California for a few days. It would be nice if it is by the beach and somewhat close to town. I'm open for almost anywhere and am not real picky on areas so any help would be great.

Answer
Yosemite and Lake Tahoe are the 2 best places for forest camping and it's really hard to beat the beauty of Yosemite. Lake Tahoe is also scenic.

If you want to camp at the beach, check out the Central Coast. New Brighton Beach in Santa Cruz is nice. Also check out Manresa San Simeon, Montana de Oro, Morro Bay State Park. Oceano Dunes south of Pismo lets you drive your car or RV onto the beach and camp.

Alpine lake-side campsites in Northern California?

Q. I'm looking for a good campsite to go tent camping with about 6 people for a weekend this summer. Does anyone know of a good lake-side campsite in northern california? Preferably alpine (Sierra Nevada). I was hoping to avoid major tourist lakes, like Tahoe (but if you know a good Tahoe site that'd be great).
Maybe something withing 5 hours driving distance of San Francisco?

Answer
Lassen National Park is just your ticket. This park is not crowded like other National parks, yet has so much to offer. Another nice place is Eagle lake off of highway 299, near Redding. Of course at Lake Tahoe, there is Sugar Pine Point state park which is real nice, but the lake is across the street from the campground.
