I'm wondering what are the best regions or walls for me to check out when I come over there? I'm only interested in sport, love longer routes (single pitch) and like the weather to be around 23-27 degrees. I am currently climbing 27 / 28 at my max which I think is 7c / 7c+
What's the go on times of year and places?
Also, camping and facilities etc?
They are saying they are a 5.12d / 5.13a climber. In that case may I recommend the Motherlode & Purgatory in the Southern Region. Spring & Fall are the best seasons for climbing. Late September through mid-November are great times to visit.

Most people camp at Miguel's. It can get noisy and the social-life of the place is, well, unique, but he's got the facilities you'll need. Lago Linda's is good if you're climbing in the southern region but far from most other stuff - Miguel's is pretty central and also really easy to find.
For 23-27 degrees C, well (and we're talking northern hemispherical seasons here, obviously), it seems like later spring (april-may) and earlier fall (october) will be your best bets, like others have said. It can get really hot and muggy in summer (like 34-38 C), but some people don't seem to mind too much. There is always shade to be found somewhere.
As far as long, single pitch climbs in the 7b-7c+ range, well, it's one of the best places in the world. A few prime areas: The Motherlode, The Darkside, The Sanctuary (part of Coal Bank Hollow, maybe?), The Solarium, Solar Collector and the Gold Coast, Left Flank (Table of Colors wall), Military...really, you'll find something of what you're looking for at pretty much every predominantly-sport crag in the Red.
