Free/Cheap Camping locations in Central California Area?

I am looking for a couple nice free or cheap camping locations in the central california area. I am located in Bakersfield but I could drive up to a few hours if it is a good location. Preferably on a lake or stream or something nice but that is not required. Boondocking locations would be okay as well. I do not need hookups or anything anyways.

Thanks in advance!

Big Sur and the Canyon: Camping and Backpacking in the Ventana Wildern $15.5 Big Sur and the Canyon, set on California’s Central Coast, is a thrilling, at times humorous tale of perhaps the most magnificent terrain in America’s national forests. High adventure mix with poetic and vivid descriptions of life in the backcountry-the interior of the Ventana Wilderness. Forest fires, camping, backpacking, near death experiences, along with the spiritual intensity of what Livingstone calls his ‘cathedral of the forest dot these pages in the midst of the great freedom hikers and horsemen know in the wild and beautiful interior: redwood canyons, streams and waterfalls, to the high open dry country along the Coast Ridge a mile above the vast blue Pacific. Steinbeck referred to these mountains as ‘Eden, and as the ‘dark and mysterious Santa Lucias, in his great novel, East of Eden. In this book with its many descriptions, the Ventana is the Garden of Eden. An arduous and sometimes dangerous teacher, but truly free.
