What are most beautiful campsites in northern California, besides Yosemite?|164188

I_ve been to Yosemite a few times and i love it but is there a Campsite that you love to got in northern California, hours form San Francisco?

Thank you.

Lake Tahoe is around 3 and a half to 4 hours from the Bay Area and has some great camping. One of my favorites is Emerald Bay State Park. It_s very forested with granite boulders and on the lake. It_s gorgeous! For more info:

It_s not exactly hours from San Francisco, but one beautiful place I love to camp is Big Basin State Park. Here is a link so that you can see it_s beauty for yourself.

One of my favorites is Samuel P. Taylor state park in Marin county. Lots of redwoods and not too far from anything. I also love Lassen National park. It is not visited all that much compared to Yosemite, but it has a beautiful swimming lake and lots of cool history and is not too crowded. Then there is Fowler creek campground with a view of Mt Shasta and has it_s own waterfall. So I just gave you 3 to check out.

There are several state run campgrounds along the coast north and south of San Francisco that are awesome. One of our favorites is Sunset Beach just south of Santa Cruz, near Watsonville. Plus it is a great park for kite flying -stunt and fixed kites.
