Wow wuhungsix, I swore I would never go back to California. I may have to eat my words!!! Nice rig and nice places to camp. Mrs. wants to know if you had hookups at the campsite by the beach. Gonna put on my bucket list to witness a sunrise camping on a beach and a sunset camping on a beach. Those boys will remember these times for ever. Good luck, John
Thanks I too am not a fan of California even though I was born and raised here, mostly for the politicians and their need to erode our freedoms. But that's a whole other topic that doesn't need to be talked about here.
What I do love about this state is that I can drive west 2-3 hours and camp on the coast or drive east 2-3 hours and camp in mountains of the Sierras next to a nice alpine lake like Lake Tahoe. I am limited now as to how far I can travel because of the little ones but I would like to head east through Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. Or maybe down to the Southwest to camp in the desert where they have all the sandstone formations.
None of the campsite we go to have hook ups. We dry camp exclusively (so far) but they all usually have clean restrooms and showers. Combined with a healthy battery bank and a Honda generator we are usually good for up to 4 nights with the water when used sparingly. Most of these State Parks have a free dump nearby too.
I am spoiled by the sunsets at Wrights Beach (pictured below) as we often camp there. I have to pause sometimes to take it all in. However a huge draw back with these places is the lack of availability. We book six months in advance to get that beach spot. So if you do come plan it early and maybe you can get lucky and the fog stays off shore.
When it's clear u can expect sunsets like this....

Mods...sorry for the derail. I will keep pictures contained to my rig from here on out.
