Where are some good places to go camping in southern california?

Point Magoo in Malibu is nice. Calamigos Ranch in Calabasas is really nice and there are some down in Vista California (near Oceanside/San Diego). KOA in San Diego actually has log cabins (thats not really roughing it, but whatever).

dockwieler state beach in dana point is pretty cool. several campgrounds in big bear both on the hwy 38 side (barton flats area) and on the fawnskin side. tent? rv? sleeping bag and a news paper? a little more to go on would be nice!?! l consider the sierra is southern cali. the scenery is the best and fishing is great too

try thre (la jolla indian reservation).you can camp.fish .hike and go down the river and small rapids in a iner-tube..lots of fun.they also have rv.spots.

Some of the Orange County Wilderness parks are nice too. We just had a great weekend at Casper is Wilderness Park. It is off Hwy 74 (Ortega Highway), and offers 35 miles of trails to hike, horse campsites too. Lots of great plants, critters, birds to check out.
