Where can I go to relax and get away by myself in So California?
Would like to find a place where I can go ride a bike, ride a horse, hike, take nature pictures. Near the coast or in the mountains. KOA has a great place in Manchester, No CA, but can’t find anything like that in SO CA? Help?
Wrightwood. I used to go camping there all the time. It’s a cute little mountain town. You can rent cabins or just go to a campground. Lake Arrowhead is also great but there are more crowds than Wrightwood.
