    Dude, if you narrow it down to places with showers you're really limiting yourself. Just take baby wipes!

    Yosemite!!!

    You cam camp in the valley near bathrooms. There's even a grocery store you can drive to or, if you want, cabins you can rent. IMO, you really should hike and camp somewhere away from the crowd for at least a few days. Upper Yosemite Falls is awesome. It's about a 4 mile hike to the top (pretty steep though) with great places to camp. The falls are probably dry now but there are still awesome views. Hetch Hechy is pretty cool too if you want an easier hike.

    Even staying in the valley there's cool day hikes you can go on like half-dome.


    As far as I'm concerned, Yosemite is the most beautiful place in the world. Ansel Adams is overrated- even I could be a professional photo artist if I took all my pictures there

    That's hardly camping. You might as well just sleep in a tent outside your house.

    That sounds fun . . .more fun if you do it where you have a bunch of modern conveniences to enjoy the buzz. :)

    But if you want to enjoy nature and drugs, I would suggest shrooms, peyote or ecstasy if you got a lady friend.
