Welcome to California!
Camping in California remains a crowd favorite. From the Pacific coast, through the desert, to the snowy Sierras, California gives campers and outdoor enthusiasts plenty to explore. The state boasts nine national parks and is home to one of the diverse state parks systems in the United States. California’s campgrounds reflect its wide range of climates, environments, and cultures, with thousands of campsites available in federal or private campgrounds. However, with the rise of outdoor recreation and camping, California’s state and national park campgrounds have experienced sold-out seasons, and its many private campgrounds have been busier than ever. Because of its demand, campers should book their trip well in advance to score their desired campsites and activities. Depending on the area, outdoor activities in California can include rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, surfing, off-roading, and more. So lean into the dream and check off that bucket-list trip by camping in California!
