Camping in Northern California?

My buddy and I want to go camping. Just like you would think: A couple of tents, and a campfire, and maybe even a hike in.
We live near Sacramento, and so we could easily drive to places like Tahoe. All I see are campgrounds with all these amenities, but we just want to go camping sort of isolated with what we bring (no bathrooms or buildings of any kind.)
I've never handled the location of camping nor do I know of any places where we can just go.
So here's the ultimate question:
Where can we just go plain old camping?

Answer
The type of camping you seek is by backpacking into the wild lands so use a trail finder,

I've already spent 45 nights in the back country this season, leave next week for a 20 day trip. It will be an extended John Muir Trail trip, starting from north of Yosemite and joining the J.M.T., following it to it's end on the top of MT. Whitney. Basically I'm traveling by trail, mostly Pacific Crest Trail, from Lake Tahoe to Mt Whitney. I've already completed the northern portions.

This year I will spend just about 100 nights backpacking. Also spend some additional nights camping at trail heads in r.v.'s, tents or cabins depending on where the hike is being staged from. Most of my activity is the the Sierra Nevada Mts. of California. Later this season I do hope to do some of the Pacific Crest Trail sections in Oregon.
