I, for one, would not consider a back country trail a "public street". Nor would I expect most back country peace officers to do so. One possible exception might be a DWR officer if you happened to be carrying during some hunting season but did not have a permit to carry nor a tag to hunt.
Technically, there are any number of dirt roads that are "public streets" but I would not expect most officers to hassle someone for carrying loaded and open without a permit while hiking along or crossing such a back country dirt road. On the flip side, while most parking lots and businesses are not public property, I would not be surprised to see some cops and even some prosecutors try to make the case that they fall under the definition of "public streets" for the purpose of outlawing permit-free possession of a loaded gun.
Remember that your camp is a temporary habitation and within your camp you can carry however you like without a permit. Also if you are on or in your vehicle you can carry a handgun fully loaded and/or concealed without needing a permit. Be careful getting off or stepping out of your vehicle if the gun is on your person.
