Hey all,
Been a bit since I posted. I'm active duty and moved out here to the NorCal area about a year ago. Been out to Mendocino and Eldorado NF's so far. I'm looking for some suggestions on where I can go for some dispersed camping (possibly with fire preferred, but understand if not) that is say, within 4-6 hours drive from the Vacaville/Suisun/Fairfield area (1 hour west of Sacramento/1hr east of san fran.)
I drive a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL and my Jeep is not really super outfitted as of yet, just tires/wheels and a small lift. It's a daily driver and only vehicle, so I'm not looking to bang her up for the next year or so. Hence why I do light forest roads and dispersed camp.
Anyways, I know most of the NF's are shut down because of all the fires, but does anyone know of any spots they know about that's different land or worth a trip? I mostly just want to get out, sit on some land and relax. Bonus points if it's a camp area that has service lol. I know what you're thinking and I would agree. No service is best, but sadly - I'm the only one in the office the next 6 weeks and I take call for remote work. So service is a must.
I feel like my only options are actual campgrounds at this point, but I'm hoping that's not the case!
Anyone have suggestions. Doesn't have to be kid friendly, it would just be myself and a mans best friend.
