After years of impulse camping I feel your stress, agree, but also disagree // Big Sur, the hardest for reserved spots BUT you can always hike into the Ventana Wilderness 3.75 hrs away & find amazingness. Yosemite, never once not gotten a tent spot; you just gotta leave at 0500.

If you have a camper van, are willing to camp on BLM land, or just willing to hike a few miles into the backcountry, a world of opportunities opens up.

Isn’t Federal land also available for camping? There isn’t running water. It it often has bathrooms and fire pits. You can only bild a fire after completing a 5 minute training you can do online. https://www.readyforwildfire.org/permits/campfire-permit/ …

there are pretty much always hike-in spots available at Henry Coe! it’s closer than Big Sur or Yosemite too. Gets hot at the peak of summer but really nice in spring

Yeah, hike-in multiplies campsites available time you by 5x. Unfortunately, I feel like most own cheaper rents unsuitable for hiking.

This is entirely untrue. Try going anywhere that's not a top 10 destination.

Lots of hike-in spots that are never full in places like Shasta-Trinity National Forest. It's closer than Yosemite too!

though to be fair, if you drive far enough south on Hwy 1 out of San Francisco you'll eventually outlast everyone and probably find a spot when you arrive at a walkup site at 1am :)

Not when you go by off road motorcycle and don't need a prepared campsite. I have never had to book in advance as long as I drive at least two hours.
