Hello all,

I'm taking an extensive road trip through California (gonna go to LA for a few days, then take the 1 up to Salinas, head over to Yosemite, then hang out in San Francisco for a few days before going through Muir Woods and finishing the trip off with the Redwoods National Forest in Eureka.

Does anyone have any advice about safe car-camping locations ("boondocking")?? I've been on many tours with my band, and we would always sleep in our cars outside of Walmarts or Pilots - but I've been hearing California is much more strict about that apparently.

I am also bringing a tent just in case, so are there any cheap campgrounds around LA/San Francisco that you guys know about just in case the car-camping is a bust? I'm thinking "Gould Mesa Trail" seems like a nice last-resort, since it's only 45 mins away from downtown LA?

Thank you all so much for your help!!!!

This thread from last year might be somewhat helpful (and I'm too lazy to recompose my post):

What is the best car to pull up and sleep in (holiday) (RV park) - City-Data

You might also do searches in the California forum since there are some experienced camping folks there.

Have a better one.
