I'm a field recordist and a solitude-lover. I'd like to camp in the most sound-rich environment possible for New Year's. I'm in Southern California. Suggestions?
After a tumultuous year, I'm going to spend NYE tent-camping in quiet reflection. Since I'm also a field recordist, I'd like to essentially make it a busman's holiday and set out my stereo field mics after dark to capture the nocturnal chorus. A friend suggested Yosemite, and I was considering one of the Channel Islands, but I'd like other thoughts on where to go within 2-6 hours' drive of Los Angeles. The more wildlife, the better. Thanks!

I'm partial to the Cucamonga Wilderness. Mostly because I've been so many time and hiked nearly every trail. It's mountainous, the peaks are super high, and I've never really seen a lot of traffic there.
Its a bit under 50 miles outside of LA. So super close by.
The 'other side' of Catalina Island is also amazing. Through the Catalina Island Marine Institute I was able to camp there for a bit and it was stunning.
