Besides contacting the AAA and California Parks and Recreation folks,
you might find your campground featured in publications such as Sunset
Magazine, which has been published since the 19-teens or thereabouts.
Good luck!

You might contact the American Automobile Association and see if they
maintain 
archival copies of their newsletters or other publications for this
period.  I'd 
suspect that any advertisements that might be included in the
publication could 
come in especially handy.  If you're looking at camping gear you might
also try 
copies of Field & Stream.  Although I'm not sure when the group began
the 
American Hotel & Lodging Association might also have or be able to point
you 
towards, useful materials.  Remember even if the group doesn't retain
copies of 
published materials, if the copyright has been registered they might be
on file 
with the Library of Congress.

Subject: emerging motoring/vacation culture in 20th c. help

Hello,

I  am working on a dump site that is related to a camp area in
California  that 
once had cabins, campgrounds, a roadside cafe and auto shop between  the
1920s 
and early 1960s. Can anyone offer resources (of particular  interest are
CRM 
reports) that might help interpret the material  culture? Those
resources 
regarding American motoring and vacation trends  would be especially
useful.

Thanks!
