Getting Lost In The Woods

Hey! I live in Los Angeles and I am looking to recharge for a night or two. I would really like to pitch my tent somewhere out in the woods where I can have a campfire and just find some solitude. Preferably somewhere within driving distance of LA. Suggestions? Thanks for your time and help! I am from Georgia and I guess I just miss being able to get out into the woods, cook my own food and read in some silence.
