California RV Guide

[Westisthebest]

Does anyone have a good guide to traveling through California? Looking for places to go, things to do and that sort of stuff. Thanks!

What are you interested in? Disneyland or State Parks CA has so much to see. AAA has some good tour books.

Where are you coming from several of us could give you information depending where you will enter CA.

For out of the way places check out Huell Howser's California Gold his show was a PBS must see for years. Views his videos here for free.

This is a $17 digital document that has great information about cheap/free camping along the coast and Sierra Nevada. There is also one for 395 and desert region. It has been worth every penny for me.

For "big picture" planning and daydreaming, I consider my Benchmark Road and Recreation Atlas indispensable. The recreation section locates and provides a legend for government parks of all types, national forest facilities, boating facilities, and the like. The shaded relief landscape maps are of a larger scale and as such are useful for close-in navigation. They're sold on a state-by-state basis and I believe the CA edition can be purchased for around $25.

Check out www.forestcamping.com for free guidebooks to National Forest campgrounds nationwide.

Happy daydreaming, er, I mean, planning.

There are also a huge number of 4X4 and SUV route guide books that cover dirt roads to trails appropriate for off-road campers (i.e. the Rubicon won't likely be mentioned much, but routes like Titus Canyon will be.) My favorites are the now, I believe, out of print "Back Country Adventures" titles by Massey & Wilson.
