The most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me was:
My parents decided that they wanted us to be more like a family, so we spent the entire summer camping. I found it pretty lame after a while because by the end of the weekend me and my mom would get into fights because i was usually the one babysitting my brother and my cousins that came. So i finally had enough and said i didn't want to go the next weekend because i had no one to hang around with. My mom came up with the idea of having me invite my boyfriend as long as he slept in a seperate tent.
I agreed and went with my boyfriend. When we got there, the campsite/park-thing was having a fireworks because it was their 50th anniversary or something. My parents didn't want to go because they were playing poker with my aunt and uncle in the larger tent, and my brother and cousins were sleeping. So i asked if Me and my boyfriend could go and they aqreed.
When me and my boyfriend got there, it was a large hill that overviewed the lake, and in the middle of the lake there was the boat that shot the fireworks. On the bottom of the field there was a stereo system where they played music. Me and my boyfriend laid down our blanket on the ground and got ready to watch the fireworks.
The fireworks only lasted about 15mins. But when we were there we laid back to the point where he had his arm around my back and my head was on his chest. after the fire works everyone left and went to the park that was about a 5 min. walk from the lake. When everyone was gone we just laid there looking at the stars.
sidenote->(i wanted to be an astronomer when i grow up and so did he)
When every one left the stereo system played a bunch of really slow songs, the one that stuck in my mind was aerosmiths "don't want to miss a thing". And while we laid there looking at the stars, with my head on his chest, he said to me "I could spend the rest of my life looking at the stars, the planets and everything in the universe, and i guarantee i would never see anyone or anything as raiant as you."
And anyone could imagine how mushy and sappy i got after that. Ofcourse i kissed him, and it was definately the best night of my life.
I love you patrick

What are the best camping spots near San Diego?

I would want there to be a lake or river if possible. Please only provide me with 2-3 of your favorite campgrounds and not a whole list. Otherwise I won't be able to make a good decision.
Thanks!
Answer
In San Diego county there aren't any really outstanding campgrounds near rivers or lakes, but here are some you might enjoy. I have camped at all of them, unlike some of the other responses here which seem pretty clearly to come from copying the internet as opposed to having actually been there.
Green Valley Falls Campground in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park comes to mind as it's right near a river and there's nice hiking. My only hesitation in recommending it outright is that it's in an area affected by recent wildfires and they've been clearing trees out of there recently. I'd suggest you contact the rangers for an update. It's got mostly giant oaks there along with a few pines. It's in a mountainous area with lots of nice hikes. And it's not too far a drive. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_ID=667
Another nice place near water would be Palomar Mt State Park, Doane Pond Campground. It probably takes only 20 minutes to walk around Doane Pond so it's not too big but I have seen people fish there, so it's big enough for that. There are also several creeks that run through the park and beautiful views to the ocean on clear days. It's quite nice up there, and next to the park is the famous Mt. Palomar Observatory, which is open to the public but you have to check out ahead of time the days and hours as it's limited visiting. Since it has a famous telescope there (actually a number of them on site) you know that it's a pretty good place for clear skies at night and star watching. However, it's elevation is high enough that if you plan to go camping soon, if you are going to be in a tent as opposed to an RV, it's going to be getting cold soon at night. http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/637/files/palomarmountain.pdf
A third place I thought about is in the Pine Hills area near Julian, at a county campground called William Heise County Park. It's very pretty there, pretty hikes, one spectacular hike through the mountains and trees with a panoramic viewpoint of the desert and the Salton Sea. Bonus if you are going soon is that you pass an orchard right outside the park boundaries with apples you either buy by the pound on the honor system, already picked, or you can go out into the orchards and buy your own. They taste so much better than what you buy in the stores, you'll want to get some for family and friends. Not much in the way of water features but as I said, it's a pretty park. http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/parks/Camping/heise.html
If you would like camping by the beach South Carlsbad is nice, but it's a little strange as you camp very close to a road and there's road noise that might be irritating if you're camping in a tent. However, on the other side is a spectacular ocean view and access. I'd guess if you were in an RV or use earplugs you'd do fine. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=660
Another option would be the San Mateo Campground near Camp Pendleton which has a wonderful trail to the beach along a river canyon to the famous surf spot the Tressles. The campground isn't particularly good or bad, sort of undistinguished, and it's strange that you can hear the shooting range at Pendleton in the background sometimes. But the trail thru the canyon to the beach is really quite unique and beautiful http://www.caopenspace.org/trestles.html
