So my friends and I are planning a trip to Cali and want to camp on the beach instead of spend money on a hotel. We are in our mid 20's with no kids. Everywhere I've found online has been very family friendly and as much as I like kids, I would rather not have a family with 3 kids in the tent text to us. Not to mention families probably wouldn't want to be right next to us either. Any idea's on good places?


Answer
Well california is all about RVs when it comes to camping at the beach and all beach campgrounds from San Francisco south require reservations 6 months to a year in advance. Also expect to spend for reservations equal to a motel 6 elsewhere. For example the brand new Ca. state park campground at Crystle cove is $85 a night. With that in mind as another posted I recomend also that the beach be a day activity and look to county, state and national forest parks that are inland. Your question also leads one to assume that you think camping at the beach is free, so to make myself clear, in California it is not free and it is highly regulated.

http://woodalls.com/ lists all the campgrounds there are and you can go to the state of californias state parks page, http://www.parks.ca.gov/ and find sites there. Make reservations pronto as summer booking is going on now.

What size of camping tent should I choose?




Adela


I am planning a camping trip with two friends. We need to buy a camping tent but I don't know what size of the tent is suitable for three people. I did a little search online and someone said should choose a tent which can accommodate two more person because there must be some space for the camping equipment. Is this true? Is a five man tent a little larger for three?


Answer
A five man tent is just fine. I do a lot of camping and I use a 2-3 person tent for just me, and a 4 person tent when I take the wife and kid along.

Unless your back country camping you can't go wrong with getting a bigger roomier tent.
