Need help finding a camping spot around the modesto/stockton ca area (free spot)?
sorry to repost this question but i'm stuck. a friend and i want to go camping, free if possible. we live in modesto but are willing to travel around the stockton area... well a radius of about 35-40 miles from modesto to outlying areas. if anyone knows of any spots please let me know. alt of these camping areas charge day and night usage. after you add everything up we might as well spring for a room at a hotel or something lol thanks in advance! gabe relax chris lol yes i do appreciate the answer you gave in my other topic. Problem is that i have very little money at the moment to be driving around trying to find a secret hiding spot. Honestly i know very little about going around the river trying to find the spots, i don't drive. My friend is the one who will be driving so i'm trying to find a general area. i do appreciate your response, so don't think i don't. :) I remember when i was a little kid and we just pulled up somewhere to camp. Now i seems like it all costs money which blows... oh well :p

the only one i know of in the area (sorry not free, though) is caswell state park in ripon. the family camp sites are only $20. other than that you can take your chances at mossdale outside manteca. we used to go out there by the train bridge near the marina. walk along the berm and there's a little beach. i've seen some people camp out there before but it's not a real camp site and probably not very legal to camp there.

I gave you a good one before, As I said I have camped along the Toulumne river east of modesto and turlock state park. There are lots of open area's and islands along the river. Keep things low key and you will avoid the hasslers. Farther east as the river gets into the national forest there are even more spots to camp at along the river, you just have to explore and find "you favorite spot". I am not going to reveal exactly "my favorite spots" on a public forum that would allow trash people to ruin them. You can do as I did and get off your derieair and look for some of your own. The suggestions I gave you will lead you to some of the most beautiful spots along the toulumne you will ever see. All for no cost to camp. good luck
