There are a few campgrounds on Lake Nacimiento. It's been many years since we were there, and I don't recall much about the place.

Hate to give away our secret Hideaway, but there is a county campground on Lake Cahuilla which is part of the irrigation system just south of La Quinta in the Coachella Valley. It is an artificial Lake, but it is stocked with trout. You cannot use a boat, but you can fish from the shore. If you are willing to forgo Services, you can camp right beside the lake. If you want Power, you will be a few sites away.
If you decide to Camp beside the lake, and forgo the power, please be kind to the others that are there and don't run your generator. They don't forbid generators, but they really should. There is power very close by for those who need it.

Lake Morena. SD County runs a nice campground there.
Cuyamaca Lake......inside the State Park.
Lake Jennings. Operated by the Helix water district
Santee lakes. Operated by the Padre dam water district.
All lakes open to fishing. Bass, seasonal trout, crappie, cats and bluegill.
Boats good to go except Santee lakes.

Its not in Socal, but the Colorado River runs through the California/Arizona border desert. Lake Havasu is right on the river as well, and is much bigger than just the river. Of course there is always the Saltan Sea. (just kidding, never been there but it doesnt look very appealing). We camped near Blythe California on the Colorado River. I looked quite nice, and there were people with boats and seadoos. One of the locals said the fishing was decent, although we didnt try it.

Trust me on this.....it is NOT very appealing.
The water is the color of root beer and it STINKS!L
Long ago (25 yrs) I used to catch some huge Orange Mouth Corvina there.
I would recommend just pass on by....
