Looks like we (me and 2 of my youngun's) will be heading to Sacramento in June for my youngest daughter's Divisional Championship climbing competition. Anyone know of some good places to go camping near there (not in the city, of course)?

All I can say is stay away from the River it can get bad near there . any camp ground that would be any good will a hour away or more . Canid lives there he would know more , I am up in Redding about 2 1/2 hours north
Hetch Hetchy Reservoir is nice, http://www.hikercentral.com/campgrounds/114614.html
Also, If you continue to drive up the mountain there are numerous awesome forest campgrounds along the ! 80 corridor ending in Lake Tahoe.
If you want to camp in town, that's another story... You could also camp in the Delta, There are some nice places there but the Mosquitoes can be bad.
If you have the time check out Yosemite National Park....It is incredible!!!
That is an excellent idea, SARKY! I am going to spend a few extra days in Cali for vacation, in addition to the competition (which is only 2 days), and take the kids to Disneyland. A nice stop in Yosemite would be great too. We are so close to Yellowstone here I kinda forget about the wonders in Yosemite.
I'm planning the trip now, and I appreciate all the input I am getting here. Nobody knows the land like the locals, ya know. Thanks y'all!
I used to do all my camping on the valley floor, that is until 2 of the camp sites got washed out and weren't repaired. It makes it tougher to get a site on the valley floor but the Wawonna camp site is usually easy to get a camp site. You're not on the valley floor but it is a short drive to the valley and you can make a stop at Glacier Point on the way to the valley. Wawonna is quieter than the valley but it doesn't have all the spectacular sights of the valley.
sorry i dont know much about south or central ca. i lived near glass beach,just south of Fort Bragg. nice camping up there!Quote:

It's a state park with all the oldschool buildings with a blacksmith, and early print shop, panning for gold, Etc. Kids love it. Nearby is the town of Murphys, which is really cool too, and has Mercer Caverns to see. In Columbia is a KOA. Also in the area is Calaveras Big Trees state park, more really BIG Trees... Which has a beautiful campground on the river. Not nearly as busy as Sequoia or Yosemite. If you go to Tahoe, by far My favorite campground there would be Emerald Bay. It's forested and has a nice beach and is right near South Lake Tahoe City and Vikingsholm.
Well guys, I'm heading out first thing in the morning. Wish my little girl good luck in her climbing. Also pray for any idiot who is stupid enough to mess with mama along the way. I'll let y'all know how it goes when I get back around the 23rd. Gonna miss you guys!
Good luck Amber - you all stay safe.
Fingers are crossed, kiddo.
