The main reason behind this confusion is that most of the places are camping friendly but you never know if they are motorcycle camping friendly as well. Apart from this, there are a few places that might look good but management doesn’t allow you to camp on these sites. To make sure you are not in for a surprise, you need to plan everything and know where you will be camping. Apart from this, you also need to know if the place is safe, do you have to pay for the camp, what kind of things you should carry with you and which time of the year will be best for you to camp. All these details can be extracted from the camping site. 

With the help of this article, we will list down some of the best motorcycle camping destinations in California. The idea is to help beginners know where they can peg their camp and where it is safe.

Prewitt Ridge

Easy to reach and perfect for all seasons you can be here and enjoy your time. The best thing about this destination is that it is five miles away from the direct road which means you will stay away from the tourists. This place is accessible; you can take your motorcycle or even your bike if you need. To reach this place you can take Naciemento-Fergusson road. After you complete this road just turn south and within 4.5 miles you will take the uphill road and you will be at the destination. The view from this place is amazing and the best thing is that there is a fire ring as well. However, you cannot gather any wood and there is no water. To make sure you stay environmentally friendly, bring a bag to gather the trash. There are public bathing hours but you have to pay for that and book in advance. The overall view is great so make sure you bring your camera along.

Hidden Valley

If you are into climbing but also want to stay over, this place is best for you. This place will offer you an unmatchable experience in the desert. As the name indicates, the hidden valley is a place that is a little away from the mainstream camping sites. This place was known as the hideout for rustlers where they would bring the cattle for hiding.  Although a little remote, the place is scenic and offers the best climbing and camping site. You can go anywhere in the park. The best season to visit this place is in winter. While on your way you can ride through the whole park and enjoy the view. However, if you see Chollas cactus, don’t touch it. It can bruise and cause bleeding.

Laguna Seca

Every motorcycle enthusiast craves to visit a place that is scenic but also offers motorcycle racing. Now imagine waking up to the sound of motorcycles racing and taking laps through the track. This might seem too good to be true. Well, not anymore. In Lauguna Seca you will have the campsite that offers the best view along with a racing track where you can enjoy the race. However, if you want to enjoy a sound sleep, bring along the best noise-proof earplugs because we can guarantee the sound of these heavy bikes will not let you sleep. This place is evergreen and can be visited at any time. However, you can visit this place during July mainly when the racing tracks are being used the most. To have a clear view of the track, you can either stay at the corkscrew or you can walk over and stay by the track to witness the session.
