I usually don’t comment on camping locations because I don’t like to contribute to over crowding and I feel people should explore on their own. However I grew up just a few blocks away from the lakes, 5th grade back in 1959, at the time there was only 5 lakes, they were an early experiment in reclaiming waste water. Like everywhere the area has grown and the lakes thrive. The lakes now are well maintained, and even though I live farther away now I still visit to photograph birds, the selection of year around and migratory birds is amazing and with a little work you can get some nicely framed closeups. The camping is not wilderness dispersed camping but could work for someone visiting San Diego. Walk in day use is free and it’s a great place to get some walking in. The birds are the best part.

I can go surfing in the morning and fishing in the afternoon. It looks like my kind of place and with full hookups too. 😊

What is your trailer. Kinda looks like a Casita

Thanks for the video. Planning on going next month👍

Great video! Thank you 😊

Yes, for $100 a day, you, your wife and dog can have a patch of dirt to park on. Come on Down!

Another place i haven't heard of that is close to home. Thanks XWA

I think I have to do more truck camping. Thanks XWA

I'll have to try this place again. Thanks XWA

For a moment there, I thought I was hearing my fiance's gps telling us to get off at Buckman Springs Road. 😂 Lovely video. I can walk to Lake Morena and must do so, very soon!

I left the humid South to relocate to gorgeous California. I live about a mile from this beautiful park!

March Meet is an event that's always on my calendar.. Thanks XWA

I recognize all those places.. Makes me want to drive down for some Rosemary bread.. Thanks XWA

Thanks for all the good details in your videos

Happy Thanksgiving Alex! I appreciate your camping and travel videos. I travel across the country in all seasons so we've learned from others how to keep our water and ourselves from freezing solid. I recommend you use a larger propane tank and a hose to eliminate the 1 lb little tanks. You'll enjoy being warmer and heat lasting longer!

3 or 4 blue gill make a dinner!

2 of those are palm sized blu gill they are big, dont yank the hook out unless your keeping them for pan, cut line as close to hook as lossible throw them back in, palm sized blue gill are keepers, only throw live fish back in, get a red hook degauger to remove hooks are a pair of needle nose pliers so you dont kill the fish good luck!

Nice adventure Alex, you gotta be real carefull tk have proper ventation with propane heaters and burners in an enclosed camper, make sure its turned off at night be safe, following your next adventure from in socal!

Does the DFG stock that like with trout?

Thank you.. well done.. :)

Most walmarts got live bait if you didn't already know and way cheaper ..just throwing it out there..

Amazing rain and snow without clouds.. Nice lake too. Thanks XWA

Meny fond memories of that lake a very special place , glad to see the water level is back up

Awesome video, your meals look delicious!

Nothing fancy...just a good campground. Good video too.

Thank you for the beautiful video ❤😊

I camped and fished at lake Morena a lot in the early 80's, special place! Thanks for sharing!

My first time using a buddy heater I went through a throw away tank fast. The next time out I got the hose adapter and use a full size refillable tank. It’s so much better. It last all night plus I use it for my bbq.

What a great way to spend a day.

I haven’t been out to Lake Morena in a lot of years. It’s prettier than ever. Your meals look delicious! Thanks for taking us along!

Thanks for the content. I live in Orange County and I've never heard of Lake Morena. I'm making reservations as we speak.

What happens out there when you have diarrhea and cant find restroom right away?

Another great video Alex, To bad the fishing wasn't a little better for you. Thanks for taking us with you. 👍

I love your little trailer. What model is it or namebrand and what year model and your videos are awesome.

I love❤ camping ⛺️

Thank you for sharing this is wonderful

I live here in SoCal so your videos are so helpful! Went to Coldbrook because of you!

U see any one with dirt bikes well camping

Official name is “Hearst San Simeon State Park.” Great place to camp.

Thanks Alex, always wanted to head up that way. Very informative 😊

Looks nice with all the trees.. Any sites big enough for my trailer ? Thanks XWA

Glad that you enjoyed alex. Last time i went to hume was this year in February in the winter of all times. Dont ask me why lol😂.

❤❤

Great video Alex, but 85.00 per night WOW these camp grounds are really getting pricey.

Yay!!! It’s been tooo long 🎉

Thank you so much Alex for all you do!!

Thank you for all the detailed information on the campgrounds. I greatly appreciate you telling which sites are best.

Reminds me of Dixon Lake only bigger. I think the fish were Bluegill. Thanks XWA

Good video Alex! Another place u help put on our list to visit, thank u. We caught some bluegills at Lake Elsinore a few weeks ago. Believe it or not, the ones u caught look even bigger than the ones we had caught, lol. If u want to see the sizes we caught, we have a video of it on our channel, tandy adventures. Love your videos, always so informative!

I just camped at Kern River's Edge with friends and it was fun. I live in the San Gabriel Valley and just started camping since late 2021. I have only been by Kernville, Joshua Tree, and Channel Islands. (which was my favorite of the 3) Since you have nearly 200 videos, I know you have lots of experience. Do you happen to have a favorite campsite per season, or if it is too hard, a list of top 10? Also any gear you highly recommend? (Still trying to improve my car camping gear) Thanks for you help and time. I appreciate your videos.
