Hi Janet. Jan and I have been to Caples Lake a couple of times. It is not a motorboat free lake, but the launch facilities are very limited, so generally small boats are the rule. Kayaks should be fine there. When we used to tent camp, we towed a 14' skiff and would trout fish there with excellent luck. We stayed at the NFS Caples Lake campround and it was nice, but right on the highway. I'm not sure about the camping facilities for RVs but it is a nice place and I would recommend it.

If you are daring and have time, you and Terry may consider going to the eastern Sierras too. There are some really nice kayakable (word?) lakes there such as Virginia lakes, Green lakes, Twin lakes etc. Twin Lakes has a private RV-camping resort called Mono Village which is really basic but nice. Another nice place is in eastern Yosemite up by Tioga Pass in Inyo NF (9000.'+) Tioga , Ellery and Saddlebag lakes are really nice, but not sure what the RV camping is like.
