Welcome to CollegeCaliCamping! The official guide to beautiful, off-the-beaten-path, camping in Northern California.

I am a college student studying Environmental Science, with a focus in atmosphere and climate, at California State University Chico. After I finish my degree, I hope to research climate change, and begin spreading awareness in the professional world. I am an outdoor enthusiast (obviously), and a very avid hiker, backpacker, and camper. There is so much of Northern California to be explored with lots of gorgeous areas that remain hidden to most of the public. I hope to enlighten you all and shine some light on those areas.

Over the course of the next eight weeks, I will either be camping or reviewing previous sites on my blog. I am so excited to share my experiences with you guys and hopefully introduce you to some scenic, hidden trails and sites all over the Northern California area. I will be testing and reviewing, as well as writing the history of each site.

The purpose of this blog is not to influence your opinion by telling you simply where you should and shouldn’t camp, but to inform and give a general overview and testimony of specific spots. I hope to target young families, experienced campers, and most importantly, my fellow college students looking for a cheap 😉 weekend get-away.

You don’t  even have to be an expirienced camper to keep reading, you can simply just love the outdoors and want to learn more about the landscape of your golden state! I believe there is nothing like sleeping under the stars, breathing clean, fresh air, watching the uninterrupted natural flow of surrounding water, and listening to the sounds of animals living freely among us.

“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.”

I hope you guys enjoy and stay tuned for more!
