Bay Area Camping trip !

Bay Area Camping trip !
I almost made this thread a few weeks ago, but decided to wait a bit. After kelly mentioned it today, I said I'd go ahead and make a thread
I like to go camping a lot, so let's get something together
for me, I like to go for two nights at least. Normally I go somewhere friday afternoon, and stay till sunday.
A couple suggestions: (preferably places with a river/lake/lots of trees for good hiking)
Samuel P. Taylor State Park, http://www.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=469
15 miles west of San Rafael on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, displays beautiful fall colors with the change of the Big-leaf maple tree leaves. The park also features hillside trails for hikers, equestrians and bicyclists as well as charming picnic areas. There are also creeks, open grassland, and redwood canyons in the park.
Although most of the saturdays are already reserved.

Big Sur , google maps link

I want to go soon (whenever) but one saturday a month I have search and rescue stuff, so for me it has to be on a weekend not on the SAR schedule
so feel free to toss out dates and places! hopefully we can get a small group to go

Find a place near some offroading area and I will bring the 4runner and I can take folks out crawling.
Hell find a place near someplace legal to shoot at and I will bring 4-5 of the long guns and a few handguns and we can kill us some paper targets.

It's a large lake with a dam.
