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.

Just one word...BUFFET!

You can visit Hoover Dam; Lake Mead; Red Rock Canyon; The Liberace Museum; Madame Toussand_s Wax Museum; take in an inexpensive show or two; eat, eat, and eat!

the las vegas strip is gorgeous at night. the casinos are not all about gambling. they have boat rides inside a casino called the venetian. very romantic. and they have very good restaurants. and there_s a lot of attractions like downtown las vegas in the fremont experience. at night there, there is a dome show thats so cool. and how about fishing at lake mead. they have boats for rent. and there_s a mall right off the strip called the fashion show mall. very good attraction. and the magic show at monte carlo hotel and casino is very good. the comedy the producers at the paris is a good way to get a laugh.

Definately go downtown, they have GREAT food for cheap. Binions has a restaurant in the back of the casino downstairs.

Food food and more food. They have tons of cheap buffets with some good food. Also there are lots of little interesting museums and free shows to visit. Like Ripley_s Believe it or not and the Magic shows at many of the casinos.

See the Beliago waters, the Treasure Island Show, see the Mirage Volcano(all free). Walk around the Cesears Mall, and the Planet Hollywood (formally Aladdin) Miracle Mile of shops. There is a couple of short shows with animatronics in Cesears. Go see the Tigers in the Mirage .(all free). My last trip out there I spent $25 to go see the Wax Museum in the Ventitan Hotel which was so cool! You get to go up to the wax celebrities and touch them and take pictures with them.

stay at the motel6 just off of the strip, eat at McD_s or one of the many bargain places advertised, and get a players club card from every casino possible. The players club cards have many freebies for you. and some even will give you cash when you enroll.
