IMHO, you are setting yourself up for disappointment and probable failure by 
starting from Campo that late in the year. ALL of the seasonal streams in 
southern CA will be dry by then.

If your heart is set on doing a through-hike, wait until next year and get an 
April start.

If you just want to hike this summer and fall, wait until June 15 and start 
at Kennedy Meadows.

Enjoy what you can manage this year,
