California Glamping/Kayaking

Advice
#1

I posted this in a different category, but this category might be more appropriate. Sorry for the duplication.

Can anyone recommend a nice kayaking lake within about 5 hours of the SF Bay Area that has lakeside glamping tent-cabins? The only one I know is at Lewiston Lake (near Shasta), and it’s nice. But I’d like to try someplace I haven’t been before.

By nice kayaking lake I mean a lake that has inlets and coves and maybe islands (in other words, not just a big oval) without much motor boat or jet-ski traffic. I’ve paddled and camped on a few really nice ones in Northern California, but my sleeping-on-the-ground days may be coming to an end so I’m looking for a lake I can glamp on. Again: glamping, non-oval lake, without much motor traffic.

Thanks.

I’ll look up how far this would be

Have you checked Google Earth?

That’s how we found many off the beaten path places in the Alps.

We used to kayak around Carmel and Monterey Bay

Maybe Monterey Bay? Gorgeous

Maybe when you get that Sprinter :grimacing:

I realize it’s too far but I can highly recommend Sidney BC (Vancouver island) you can ferry to Victoria

Yes, I’m fairly familiar with Victoria. Wonderful place. As a dual Canadian/US citizen, I may be moving there if (when?) the US sinks too deep into fascism.
