Q.
Answer
Wow...hard question to answer.
It really depends on what other things you want to do, and what type of weather you're expecting.
There's coastal camping, that will be cooler (potentially foggy), but lets you see the beautiful beaches that California offers.
There's lake camping, river camping, and mountain camping, in all different kinds of altitudes and eco-systems.
Not to mention the fact that tent camping and RV camping are totally different.
So, without knowing what you're looking for, here's some of my opinion! I like the weather hot, so I'd have a tendency to go to the central valley, or to the southern part of the state.
Lake Shasta is neat...there's a lot of shallow fingers around the coast of the lake, which keeps the water warm and very swimmable. It's part of the Trinity National Forest, which includes all kinds of hiking and outdoor activities. While there, I recommend visiting Shasta Caverns!
Not far from Shasta is Lassen, which is an active volcanic site...Lots of bubbling mud pits and stinky sulphur - fun for kids! Lassen is at really high altitude, though, so be cautious not to over-do it...the oxygen can be hard to find!
I have to also bring up the Truckee/Tahoe area. The water in Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe is too cold most of the year for swimming, but if you go in August or September it's not too bad. It's really beautiful there, and there's lots to do, including the Donner Party Museum! Also fun for kids, and can work kinda like the boogey man to keep them in line!
It has been too many years since I've been to Yosemite, but obviously, that's a great place to go...These days it's really hard to get in, so camping at a private campground outside the park is probably easiest...Just south of Yosemite is King's Canyon/Sequoia National Park, which of course has the giant redwood trees that you can drive your car through.
I also love Pismo Beach. It's the only place in California where you can actually drive your car on the beach. Most of the beach has only pit toilets, but if you have the patience to drive or walk up the beach, there is a public restroom that also has cold showers. What's really fun about Pismo is the dunes...You can rent quads there, and fly around (literally!) on miles and miles of sand dunes.
Wherever you go, I hope you have fun!

I am torn between Mt. shasta and Yosemite. I have been to Shasta and love it I know theres a lot of spots for privacy little swimming holes everywhere great small town to go to if camping becomes boring and so on. I have never been to yosemite and I wonder if its the same? I want hiking and swimming in clear calm water and the beautiful environment but not heavily crowded either. Any one who has been to both want to give me some input?
Answer
Forget going to Yosemite this year, it gets booked up for summer reservations 6 months in advance. I Love lake Shasta and nearby Whiskytown and Donner lake. Better yet is Lake Tahoe. but all have crowd issues. Expand your options with the little known places there are so many lakes streams rivers to choose from. Think "hot springs" for a different experience the Sierra is full of them many with nearby lakes and or streams with great fishing, swimming and hiking nearby.
