Can't make it to Yosemite this summer? Here are 7 great camping sites a lot closer to home.
Trends show that a fifth of them prefer shorter trips, less than 50 miles from home, especially first-timers or those with young kids. Southern California’s forests and beaches provide good options for quick escapes, places to test your gear and your back-to-nature mettle. Here are seven places that offer a refreshing respite from city life — and they’re not so far from the city.
Need to know: $8 to $12 a night, plus a $5 Adventure Pass. 10 remote, primitive campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and a portable bathroom near the summit of the peak. It’s a 10-mile hike in. No drinking water , no trash facilities . Make sure you have a high-clearance vehicle; part of access to the campground is on dirt road.
The drive: From the 210 Freeway, drive nine miles north on Highway 2 , turn left on Angeles Forest Highway for 12 miles to the intersection with Santa Clara Divide Road at Mill Creek Summit. Turn right park along the side of the road within the next 1/4 mile. No cars are allowed the final 10 miles; either hike or bike six miles to the signed gate and another four miles on the dirt road to the campground.
