Just a warning if you want to visit any CA state parks. The state is trying to make up for their deficit spending largess by upping the ante on State of CA campgrounds and attractions (those that haven't been closed). That way they are not dinging the taxpayers of the state as much but hitting the out-of-towners. Kind of like airport taxes. The more popular the park or attraction the higher the ding. The good news is there are plenty of private RV parks that will take your money. We do a lot of boondocking and dry camping with high bucks hotels interspersed, so we are not affected so much. But we did want to stay at the Redwoods State Park and found the sticker shock to be brow raising, especially for what you got. It was run down and basically loved to death. Of course we have a 20' truck camper and stealth is easy, even in the city. The pic below was a very inexpensive county campground with water and power (and a dump) on the coast in southern Oregon. The beach is through the trees @ 200 yards away:
Good luck on your search.
