California Camping

Dispersed (free) and developed (reservable) camping across California’s National Forests and BLM land. Ranked by access type, terrain, and seasonal window with your rig factored in.

New to camping without hookups? Start with What Is Boondocking. Not sure what your vehicle can handle? See High Clearance vs 4×4.

Before you camp outside a campground, check who is allowed to camp where. Dispersed camping on state land, state by state covers what each state allows on its own land. Where dispersed camping is restricted tracks the National Forest orders now in force, each one cited and dated.
