I work for the Navy and I often camp in San Diego when I go in for work but I live up here by Big Bear. I get the best of both worlds!
How many other people can say that they can be in the mountains and down at the beach in just over hours???
Also, California has a bad reputation as being a "police state" and lots of crazy, insane people...well kinda. However, when you go camping, you run into many more like minded, good hearted people who love to camp and enjoy the outdoors, just like everyone else. Just my two cents.
