There’s simply no better way to experience Mother Nature than by camping under a canopy of stars. It will slow you down, help you recalibrate, and remind you there’s more to life than a strong WiFi signal. Best of all, there are countless ways to camp, ranging from RV-based exploration that provides incredible freedom to glamping sites that specialize in high-end creature comforts. You’ll find California campgrounds at the beach, in the middle of the desert, at high altitude, close to urban centers, and in the middle of nowhere.
