Where can I go camping with friends in Southern California?
We want to go somewhere that is really quiet, and no one else would go.
We would like somewhere near or that has:
1.) A lake – That you can swim and fish in, and where no one would
care if you went skinny dipping.
2.) A cabin (If possible).
3.) Places to hike or trail (Preferably non-elevated ones), like forrest trails.
4.) Not to Hot or Cold, but something maintainable.
If you are filthy rich you can book a stay at Ceder lake in the mountains above Big bear lake Ca. If you are physically able you can hike up San Gorgonio Mountain and camp at either dollar lake or or dry lake. There are forest service cabin rentals near deep creek on hook creek road, there you can hike down into deep creek for swimming, skinny-dipping, cliff diving and a soak in a hot spring.
