Lake Shasta, Lake San Antonio, Whiskeytown Lake are the only ones I know for sure.....
I am sure there are more. The problem is the campfire permit, they don't always allow campfires and it needs to be in "designated areas".. This is California, the responsible person per square mile ratio is quite low. :sly:

Assuming you mean the Colorado River, I think that's a a good question. A lot of indian land and national park area that you'd have to pay to use.
As far as any other land, that is free to camp on, I don't know.
I know people camp on Lakes Mead and Mojave and I think they just have to pay to launch at the marina.
Maybe look up the CA and AZ dept of waterways to see if they got anything posted.

Backcountry Camping
Numerous areas can be reached by boat, car, backpacking or horseback. Primitive camping, accessible by boat along the shoreline, is permitted anywhere outside of developed areas or areas marked NO CAMPING. Camping is limited to a total of 90 days within any consecutive 12-month period. Unless otherwise specified, camping is limited to 15 days per visit at a specific backcountry area. After 15 days, campers must either move to another backcountry area or developed campground, or leave the park. When camping in the backcountry, always tell a friend or relative where you are going and when you plan to return. Include a description of your group and your vehicle. Backcountry maps are available on the Map Page.

Vehicle Camping
Vehicle camping is permitted only in designated areas in the backcountry. Vehicles of all kinds, including four-wheel drives, motorcycles, and bicycles, must stay on designated roads. Off-road tire tracks last for years in this fragile desert. There is no off-road travel in the park. All motorized vehicles and their drivers must be properly licensed for highway travel. Obtain copies of the park's approved road maps at any ranger station or visitor center.

Backpack/Horseback Camping
Backpack or horseback camping is allowed throughout the park and along the lake shoreline except in developed areas. Camping is not permitted in restricted or ecologically-sensitive areas. The campsite must be at least 1/2 mile from any paved road and at least 100 feet from any spring or watering device.

General Rules and Information
Backpack or horseback camping is allowed throughout the park and along the lake shoreline except in developed areas. Camping is not permitted in restricted or ecologically-sensitive areas. The campsite must be at least 1/2 mile from any paved road and at least 100 feet from any spring or watering device.
Maximum Stay
Maximum stay within the recreation area is limited to 90 days within any consecutive 12-month period. Quiet Hours
Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Please do not create or sustain unreasonable noise, including generators, during those hours. Property
Property unattended for longer than 24 hours is prohibited unless authorized in writing by the Lake Mead NRA Superintendent.
Water Use
Please wash dishes at your campsite and not at the water faucets. Do not drain contaminated water on the ground, use the service sink at the comfort station. Dump holding tanks at sanitary stations located at each campground. Except for filling storage tanks, do not connect hoses to water faucets.
Pets
Pets must be kept at all times on a leash not to exceed 6-feet in length and should not be left unattended. Be aware that there are many coyotes in the park. Barking dogs are considered a nuisance. Owners must remove them from the campground. Never leave your pet in a closed vehicle. Temperatures can soar to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) in minutes. Your pet can quickly die of heat stroke in those conditions. Wildlife
Please do not feed the wildlife! Wild animals can become dependent on handouts of food and lose their fear of humans. This is dangerous for the wildlife and you. All plants, animals and natural features are protected in national parks.
Trees
Trees can provide refreshing shade and a windbreak for campers. It is illegal to cut or damage any tree in a national park. Fires
The latest fire restrictions are available on the Press Releases page.
General Rules
1. Do not attach wires, ropes, or nails to trees or shrubs.
2. Digging, leveling, or other alterations of the ground is not permitted.
3. Be aware of extreme summer heat when leaving children or pets in vehicles or trailers. Never leave them in a closed vehicle.
4. Secure all valuables. Do not leave them in your campsite when you are not there, even for a short time.

As a kid and teen we would make the 8 hour drive to Shasta and house boat and tow the boat behind. Great lake and tons of hidden coves to camp via boat or house boat.

Check out Lake Isabella
There are a couple of dry camps that are free, you can park right next to the water and set up camp, if your boating, there is a lake permit you have to buy
Just beware, most of the California lakes are very low.
