Not sure what we're going to do in Monteray, probably just lurk around.
Look up national parks and triple A approved campgrounds. About 2 years ago my old roommate and I took 7 days to drive from mississippi to Lake Tahoe, CA where we spent the summer. We camped out 5 of the seven days on the road seeing everything we could along the way and never had an issue finding somewhere to sleep. I think the most we payed was like 5 or 10$ for a tent space for the night.
Heres a resource for you:

Also, I dont know how it is in the rest of CA but when I lived in Tahoe people would camp anywhere really. If it was a national park, you could find people camping in it.
