    Looking for a spot to hang near LA

    Hello fellow hangers,

    I am new to this forum, first time poster, but I am in need of a good spot to hang near Los Angeles, CA in about 10 days. I am from the east coast, so I don't know the area too well. Looking for an area within about 100 miles or so of LA, potentially near the water(though it certainly doesn't have to be, I just figure it is warmest there this time of the year), above 40°F at night, a great view, and stealth camping is certainly welcome. A campfire is not needed. I rarely have fires. I am a backpacker, but only have 2 days off to pull this one off. If there is any place that comes to mind please let me know. Much appreciated.

    Sounds like a fun time. Send a trip report on the availability of Stealth Sites in LA. I'd be surprised if you were able to find any free sites there, as Cali and SOCAL particularly is notoriously pricey and highly populated. There are also many homeless folks there, so safety may be an issue hangin' with the hobos.

    Hey cakejaples,

    SoCal hanger here-- I'd recommend Big Rock Creek and the campgrounds around that area. I think dispersed camping isn't exactly allowed in Angeles National Forest, but I know PCT hikers don't wait to get to a campground before bedding down. Hope this helps if you make it back West.
