CA HWY 1 - Now. Help Us Trip Plan.
Best camp advice for doing it cheap and with no reservations? All self contained, but want to do the must sees. Start - Beyond Santa Barbara and up through Santa Rosa. Go slow enough to see what's ...

Hwy 1 is closed at Ragged Point and will be for awhile(Sept). Stealth camping in Day Use is funny, why are they called Day Use if you can camp there? At $50 a night and up, if you try and stealth camp, you will be not only evicted but ticketed and fined.
Personally I would wait a year and plan out locals and get reservation now. Kirk Creek is a fantastic bluff top campground. Not all spots are view but short walks will have you at a view point.
Unfortunately, highway view areas and pullouts are not okay for overnight camping in CA. that is non existent.
At some rest areas it is okay to stop and I think either 6 or 8 hours is the max stay. Never CAMP in a rest area, resting for a few hours, yes, slides and chairs out never.
Back in the '50s and '60s, folks camped where ever and at that time a lot of RVs were without sanitary tanks and rest areas and pull outs didn't have facilities or trash cans, the messes left behind did, however, caused CALTRANS and ST Parks to initiate laws against that type of camping.
Good luck but to drive the whole thing, go next year.
