Campgrounds, camping and fly-fishing rivers in California, got any INFO?

What is your opinion on any campground in CA?

I’m new to CA’s state and national parks campgrounds. Looking for any reviews, INFO or wedsites on tent camping in CA.

I’m minimalist and a naturalist, that likes to bring only the basics, what do I need to bring?

I’m trying to find a good wilderness campgrounds. I hope to find one nearest a good fly fishing RIVER, in the southern Serra’s. Like near the rivers of OWENS, KERN, KING and ANY OTHERS…what are your suggests?

What areas are good and bad this late in the summer and WHY?

I have stayed at many RV parks in California that have camping included.
It does sound like you are looking for something more basic, however.
What you need to take is the least you require for your stay.
This link below is to a real good website, it pays particular attention to fishing:

You can make reservations on site too.

I would recommend the Rock Creek Campgrounds, it is a complex of 14 campgrounds with individual and group sites along Rock Creek.
These sites are located near Crowley Lake, just south of the town of Mammoth Lakes in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. And they are pretty primitive, you should love it there:
