Got a bunch of guys, 14-18 getting together for the weekend of August 22. We're looking into renting out a small private lake or fish camp for the weekend where we can all get together have a good time and have the place to ourselves. We need to stay in Northern California and would like to focus on trout. I understand late August is not the ideal time for water temps, but that's the date. We have trailers, tents, if there is a cabin on the property great, but not a deal breaker. Would like to stay between $100-$300 per person for fees.
Please flood me with suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Any ideas Kiene?

I know of a great lodge on the Upper Sac. River, that is really on the river.
The place is run by a very knowledgeable fishing guide and all round good guy.
Go to www.houseontheriver.com and inquire.

I have looked at this place a few times for similar outings. http://www.vrbo.com/224794

Also If you want to take it up a notch I have heard Henderson Springs in a pretty cool place

Sugar Creek Ranch maybe?

The middle ponds are basically empty as of a few weeks ago, but there are still some stingy pigs in the big ponds.

My advise is to look at places that are over 8,000 feet for fishing in August in California.

Kennedy Meadows pack station for a short pack trip?

I second that idea Bill. I've been to Kennedy Meadows twice last year. August makes for some beautiful weather and great fishing. I did a week and backpacked out to relief for some fishing. Some of the best fishing in a long while.
