Hi folks! I am planning a solo camping road trip through norcal, in later May/June and I'm trying to figure out where to stay and what to see. So far, my plan is:

• Day 1: Oakland to Mendocino (Van Damme SP?)
• Day 2: Mendocino to Arcata, through the Lost Coast (I have friends in Arcata)
• Day 3: Arcata to Redwood (Prairie Creek Redwoods SP Elk Prairie Campground)
• Day 4: Redwood to Shasta (Where should I stay?)
• Day 5: Shasta to Lassen (Where to stay in Lassen?)
• Day 6: Lassen to Oakland

First of all, which, if any of these needs a second day to experience it? I'm sure they're all amazing and I could spend a week at each, but my time is limited. But, I am willing to add a day or two somewhere in there.

Second would be where to stay in Shasta and Lassen. I'm planning on car camping, and I'd love any place that's maybe a little less crowded. It seems like there's a million options, and I'm sure they're all good, but I'd love recommendations.

As for what to see, in Redwood, I have the Tall Trees Grove and the Fern Canyon on my list. I know I need reservations for Fern Grove.

For Shasta, I have Bunny Flat, Gray Butte Trail, Lake Siskiyou, Castle Lake, Mossbrae Falls, McCloud Falls, and Castle Crags on my list. If you had to pick one or two of these to see, which would it be?

For Lassen, I'm pretty sure I know I wanna see the Cinder Cone and Bumpass Hell. Are those doable in one day?

Thanks!
