Tripleblaze.com Announces the 10 Best Campgrounds in California

July 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Just in time for the Fourth of July, Tripleblaze.com has officially released a list of the top 10 campgrounds in the state of California, including five campgrounds that are in the nation's top 100. The Tripleblaze best campgrounds list is compiled using visitors' ratings and reviews of 860 California campgrounds that have been collected continuously since 2005.

It's no surprise that 8 of the top 10 campgrounds in California are located within easy striking distance of the Pacific coast. Yosemite National Park made a showing twice with the Yosemite National Park Campground and the Upper Pines Campground, both located in the Yosemite Valley. The coastal campgrounds were evenly spread between the redwoods in the north and the sandy beaches in the south, with two in the redwood forest and two at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park.

"This list is a great showcase of the camping opportunities California has to offer," says Kelley Spurlock, Tripleblaze writer. "It reflects the variety that exists in the beautiful state of California. From the redwoods up north, to the sandy beaches down south, to the stunning waterfalls and cliffs that exist in Yosemite, California has it all."

Many of these campgrounds do take reservations and offer plenty of amenities for their visitors. However, two of the campgrounds on this list--Andrew Molera State Park Campground and the Spruce Grove Trail Campground--are walk-in/primitive sites. All of these campgrounds are located in either a regional park or a national park, and therefore are all government owned.  

1. Yosemite National Park Campground – Mariposa, CA
2. Upper Pines Campground – Yosemite Valley, CA
3. Westport – Union Landing State Park Campground – Leggett, CA
4. Andrew Molera State Park Campground – Big Sur, CA
