Maybe 2-3 nights, I'll look at Rinconada, thanks.Looked at it, that might work, thanks.
I haven't been to the lake specifically, but I remember when I went through the region a couple years a go, the NF forest map said boondocking was ok everywhere in the forest except a couple small areas. I wonder if the Rinconada trailhead would be a good spot? Google says it is little-used :B.
East of there, Pozo Road looks to make a brief loop into the forest. There don't seem to be any ungated side roads, but some wide turnouts. Are you looking for a place for a night, or for actual camping?- I haven't been to the lake specifically, but I remember when I went through the region a couple years a go, the NF forest map said boondocking was ok everywhere in the forest except a couple small areas.

- There's a KOA at/near the lake, also a San Luis Obispo County Park. The nearest other site I know of is Hi Mountain (Los Padres NF) camp. Much of the land in that area seems to be privately owned, making free boondocks difficult.
