Class A Friendly Fly Fishing Spots?

[CVD]

I’d like to hear of class A friendly spots anywhere in the lower 48 (personally, I’m interested in the West, but would welcome other ideas).

Spots need to be easily accessible to a class A (paved or decent dirt road), have relatively level spots to park/camp, and be walking distance/short hike to good stream or lake fly fishing (stream preferred). Hook ups not required (please describe facilities). I’ll go first:

West/central Wyoming, Weeping Rock Campground, on Green River, just below Fontenelle Dam . It’s 25 miles north/east of Kemmerer on 189. 3 – 4 miles of good dirt road. CG has designated spots, but no facilities, no charge. Great nymphing, great quality trout (caught 6 – 8 like in the pics below in a couple hour window last July). Strictly a fishing destination (IMO), not much else to do there. Raccoons can be pests.

Stay at Cottonwood campground at Navajo Lake State Park, NM. It's on the border of Colorado east of Bloomfield. The campground is below the dam on the San Juan River. It is fabulous fly-fishing, catch and release. There are many guides in the area for a fine day of catching big ones! You can also walk a short distance from the campground to the river and there are many drive-to accesses. Our first time we got there the end of May when the water flow was ideal. This past summer we were there the end of July with equally good results.

The campground will easily accommodate a 40' motorhome. It has hookups - 50A, paved sites, modern bath house and a dump station.

Conejos river in southern Colorado from highway 17 north to Platoro (San Juan mountains). 30+ miles of good gravel road with multiple camping areas along the way. Some organized camping areas and my favorite lots of boondocking parking areas that are free. Fly fishermans paradise!

My summer homebase South Fork, Colorado has several great fly fishing opportunities along the Rio Grande.
For full hookups right along a Gold Medal Trout section and right off hwy 160, http://www.southforkcampground.com/fly-fishing-rio-grandeThe South Fork Campground
For more rustic camping just upstream off hwy 149 is the NFS Palisade Campground, its only got 12 spaces and its very popular all summer.

Near my previous home town, Steamboat Springs, Co are 2 favorites, Steamboat Lake State Park, about 26 miles north of town on hwy 129, has camping right on the lake which is well stocked with several varieties of trout. Also nearby is the Yampa River State Park, just off hwy 40 west of Steamboat between Hayden to Craig.
Plenty more good camping & fly fishing spots in Colorado, but those are ones I've used.

I know zero about fishing, fly or otherwise. Is only-two-at-a-time catch and release okay? This is at an RV park in Crested Butte, Colorado:

Private fishing ($) We have private riverfront available for catch & release fly-fishing on the Slate River. Half day mornings, off the water by 1:00pm, for $35.00; half day starting at 1:00pm through twilight for $40.00, and full day for $60.00. Fishermen limited to 4 people per day, reservations recommended. Guides available on request.

There's also fabulous hiking and mountainbiking in Crested Butte, and it's a chill little town.

The RV park has big-rig friendly e/w sites, but no dump station onsite.

This web site identifies a very popular fly fishing area in Idaho. Research the region & I'm sure you'll get the information you seek.
