Hi everyone thanks for the welcome! We're a family of eight just getting back into the outdoors here in Southern California. Any must camp locations would be greatly appreciated.
The National Park service is going all out this year to help people get out. They even have free apps for your phone so you can find parks closest to you and they highlight all the activities in any park you choose to look at. I don't know if this would help in your situation, if so check them out. You can get a mobile app off play store found in your phone. I don't have a computer but I'm sure they have one for those as well. Check out the National Parks system on line for that. There are also numerous camping forums in California with copious amounts of information available for free, especially if you have a place in mind. A wild shot might also be to putt into the U-Tube search engine what you would like to see what kind of videos are out there in your subject. Good luck, others here may have alternative suggestions. Oh one more, Backpacker Magazine (online service) is another source for California (well all over, but, they have hundreds of articles for the California area.)

We are an international camping group so the skies are the limit. California has some of the finest camping parks anywhere. I've learned that starting at home can be rewarding before taking off to other locations.
