Tahoe? It's only an hour to hour and a half drive from Sacramento. There's the Pacific Crest Trail which is like the West's version of the Appalachian Trail, and just Tahoe itself is beautiful at any time of year. Sand Harbor:  Emerald Bay:  There's parties and night clubs at South Lake at the casinos if that's your thing also. If you want a secluded lake: Fallen Leaf Lake which is about another hour drive away from Tahoe (though realistically it's only separated by a small mountain). I've been there where my then girlfriend and I had the lake to ourselves midday, but there will probably be people on canoes or something. There's other little lakes around the area too if you Google a bit, but I can't speak to those.  Nevada is excellent for free BLM camping. I was just arguing about this on Facebook so I have the link handy: https://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/prog/recreation/camping.html Everything not color coded (ie the yellow that makes up the majority) is BLM land I believe, but double check:  The wilderness can be pretty unforgiving in the north and south of the state if you're doing BLM camping, so just try to be prepared for that. Bodie near the central eastern CA border is one of the most well known ghost towns: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=509 Redfish Lake in Idaho is awesome, but it's a ways out from your drive you listed:

Outrail posted:So basically I can free camp almost anywhere in Nevada? Camping anywhere - Yeah for the most part. Here's more info: https://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/prog/more_programs/geographic_sciences/maps.html and a better map: https://www.blm.gov/style/medialib/blm/nv/gis/maps.Par.62206.File.dat/nv_reference_blm_cnty_11x17_2.pdf As far as temperature as a rule it's cold at night and hot during the day. Spring is usually pretty nice and relatively mild in northern Nevada, but I'd guess it's probably much hotter in southern Nevada. I've done camping around that time in the Sierras around Tahoe and it was fine with a good sleeping bag, a warm change of clothes, and some shorts and a t-shirt. 45C in Vegas is a very real possibility, but maybe someone else will have better information than me on that.
