If you're seeking one of the most rewarding outdoor experiences imaginable, consider boat-in kayak or canoe camping along the picturesque shores of California's beautiful lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Nothing quite matches the tranquility and serenity of pitching your tent mere steps from the water's edge.

Boat-in campsites, accessible only by watercraft, offer a truly primitive camping experience with limited amenities. This invites you to fully immerse yourself in the peaceful solitude of a pristine alpine lake or slow-moving river. Kayaks and canoes grant access to secluded shoreline sites that would otherwise be difficult, if not impossible, to reach.

Boat-in camping on California's inland waters allows you to escape the crowds and crowds and enjoy a profound sense of solitude. While these coveted campsites are in high demand, they typically see far fewer visitors than the main campgrounds dotting the lakeshore.

This unique camping experience combines the splendor of smooth, glassy water with magnificent natural scenery, inviting you to soak in the serenity of a true wilderness setting. As you paddle and explore, you'll be treated to panoramic vistas and the opportunity to discover the hidden gems that these pristine waterways have to offer.

Boat-in camping appeals to the adventurous spirit, welcoming you to an unparalleled outdoor experience.  Paddling California's Flat Waters highlights the top boat-in destinations in California.
