In addition to what Jamie wrote, note the following:

..."any person over the age of 18 who is not prohibited from possessing firearms may have a loaded or unloaded firearm at his or her place of residence, temporary residence, campsite or private property owned or lawfully possessed by the person"....except if the location is in an area where firearms are prohibited.

Concealed carry permits are issued by local police/sheriff and varies from county to county. I don't think out-of-state permits have reciprocity in CA.

Some states will honor your CWP, but might require you to let them know ahead of time (something you should do anyway) that you will be traveling through.  I think in California you have to travel with gun and ammo completely seperate and the gun locked in a case or with trigger lock.  This of course renders the gun completely useless in the need to use for protection but at least you can still have it for personal defense during hte nights camping.
