Hi! So its summer and I wanted to go to camping with my family.
I have gone camping once with my friend and they did all the reservation and everything.. so I have no clue what to do(I wil be going alone with my family).
I am looking for a camping place where they have this requirement
-Must have lot of activity to do
-Must have a good fishing place (lot of fishes)
-Must have a shade (lot of trees)
-Not too far from Los Angles (1~2 hour drive?)
-Also it have to be a place where I can make reservation now and go there within 2 weeks
Thanks!
Explanation of how that place is good and what activity to do will be good..
and I am looking for specific camping place with link to its site for reservation..
Answer
Good luck on the reservation thing most of what you described is booked solid through summer. here is the reservation info link
http://www.reserveamerica.com/
Type in what city is near you and the dates you want and then any available sites will come up.
Now there are a lot of first come sites all around you just have to look up the national forests around you and see what again is in your category. If you leave by thursday you should be able to find a spot for the weekend at most of these. A favorite or 2 of mine that's close to what you describe are South fork on the Santa ana river near barton flats and Apple-white on lytle creek.

Good California camping place for fall?
Katie
My friends and I are looking to go on one last camping trip before the end of the year, and we plan to go soon! Where would be the best spot(s) in Cali to do so? We live is Southern-ish California and it'd be cool to see some waterfalls, go hiking, see big cool rocks and all the fall colors on trees. So, what's the best FALL place to camp here?
Answer
I had all sorts of ideas until you said "fall colors." We don't exactly have native trees in CA that lend themselves toward the vibrant oranges, reds, and yellows like other places in the country. But...
If you camp in the upper foothills of Sequoia national park, sort of where the oak trees, sumac, and pine trees merge, it can get that "fall feeling" like you get in Maine or Michigan. Some of the "shrub-ish" type of plants turn color. Heck, even the poison oak looks brilliantly red in the fall (leaves of three, leave them be).
If you take Hwy. 99 to Visalia, then take Hwy. 198 east and follow it up through Three Rivers into the National Park (need a park pass), there are some foothill camping spots in this area that are pretty in the fall. For a day trip you can drive up higher and see the Giant Sequoia trees which are always a wonderful, no matter what time of year.
There are a couple of campgrounds here... Potwisha campground and Hospital Rock campground. From either of these campgrounds which are in the lower "oak tree" elevations where you might see colors, there are plenty of "day hikes" both out of the campgrounds or a short drive up to the Giant Forrest grove of Sequoias. Out of Potwisha, if you hike south out of the campground, over the road, there is a neat trail that leads up to an old but functional aqueduct.
Here are some of the other "things to see" that are all day trip capable in the area.
General Grant Tree (largest tree/living thing in the world)
Giant Forrest (large grove of Sequoia trees)
Moro Rock
Crystal Caves (tickets at park entrance only)
All the hiking trails you could ever want, espeically out of Lodgepole.
