What are good camp/fish-ing parks near San Jose?

XOXO gg

So, my family and I are trying to find a nice tent-camping and fishing park before school starts up again near the end of August. We've been to the Pinnacles and San Luis Reservoir and although nice, we're still looking. Someone told me Angel Island, but my brother-in-law is freaked out by being on an island overnight (I don't know why), so I'm looking for help.

Any suggestions?

Answer
These camping/fishing sites are in the vicinity of Pinecrest Lake, up Highway 108 from Sonora.

Best is an opinion, often ratings are based upon them so read the reviews and compare for your needs,

My personal favorite is the REI quarter dome I have been using that for years with no issues.
