I am coming from Southern California and want something that is located close to where I can fish, swim, hike, shower, possibly check out caves, etc. It will just be my boyfriend and I, so we don't need a huge campsite but we def want to camp outdoors and not do the cabin/hotel thing. Any suggestions of places to camp and things to do would be greatly appreciated!
Answer
Go to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park. It is not in the fire area. The fires were in the northern and eastern parts of Yosemite. The groves in Yosemite are much smaller than those is Sequoia Kings Canyon NP.

Enter Sequoia National Park from the south, CA Route 198. It doesn't allow RV's or trailers so there is less traffic. It's a mountain road that climbs thousands of feet, has great hairpin turns and the views are spectacular.

There is lodging and campsites at Three Rivers, CA and it is close to the entrance.

Besides the Sequoias, there is a rare marble cave in the park (most caverns are limestone). Crystal Cave is accessed by a picturesque half-mile trail that leads to the Merced river valley.

Moro Rock is a great hike. You climb nearly 400 stone steps to the top of the barren rock (6,725-foot elevation)
