backroads
Some of the best RV camping is done outside of campgrounds along the backroads. Away from the crowds, noises of towns, campgrounds, little to no fees, & plenty of scenery awaits the adventurous one. Some great areas with backroads wide enough for RVs:
CA Campgrounds
Total Escape has individual camp parks, campgrounds and all RV parks listed on the California TOWNS pages A to Z

bears
Bears breaking into RVs for food is an extremely rare occurance. Food may be stored in a hard-sided trailer, motorhome, or recreational vehicle (RV) as long as the food is not visible or odoriferous from the outside. Windows and doors must be kept closed if the vehicle is unattended
Dispose of garbage frequently in animal-resistant dumpsters and cans. Don't leave any garbage in your campsite, especially at night.

Hwy 395 offers amazing amounts of camping for RVers, from deserts to alpine hide aways.

narrow roads
Certain small highways & narrow paved roads in California restrict the length of vehicle. CalTrans and maybe some signs recommend RV not use certain routes. Many of the Sierra Nevada passes are chalenging for motorhomes, so the department of transportation has come up with a thorough list.
Below is a partial list of some of these roads.
Sequoia National Park - Hwy. 198 from south (near Three Rivers) limited to RVs under 23'
Eldorado National Forest - Hwy. 4 from Lake Alpine to Carson River.
North California Coast - (near Mendocino)
Highway 1 Restrictions - length limits PROHIBITIS MOTORHOMES over 40 Feet driven from the south

These SoCal desert rats are serious about their motorhomes, and their toys! Quads, motorcycles, sand rails, dune buggies, you name it. There hefty RV's tow their toy boxes out to the nearest desert nearly every winter weekend near Imperial Sand Dunes, Glamis & the eastern stretches near Anza Borrego SP. If ya want peace & quiet the popular OHV areas are not the place to find it
