AboutSteve Springer Expertise I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I`ve lived in the Valley, west side, east side, and South Bay, so I`m an expert on getting around town. I`m knowledgeable about all of the Southern California tourist attractions. I am also an expert on state beaches in Southern California, and have an expansive camping background. No relocation/moving questions, please.
Question Hi Steve, What are your suggestions for someone camping along the coast (with
a 6 year old) in April. SF-LA. Small camping trailer. How's the weather then?
Thanks so much in advance.
Answer Hi Timathea,
Sorry for the delay, my email's been out a couple days.
If you have seen my other answers, you know I'm a huge fan of Carpinteria State Beach. It's the most family-friendly beach on the coast. Don't forget to take bikes, since that is VERY popular activity. In fact, most mornings and evenings, there are hundreds of kids and adults riding. The town is wonderful to explore: It has a Foster's Freeze and an old-fashioned candy store. Local favorites include The Spot (burgers and shakes), Cabo (Mexican), and The Palms (cook-your-own steak). The beach has gentle waves, which you can hear from the campsites. In other words, it is perfect for families.
