The camp we were at seemed like the best you can get. Shade, good spot for tent and set up,privacy,serene, nice natural rock fire pit and mcnaughllys was just two minutes away for resupply. We had a great time. We tied up our floats and enjoyed the river with our dogs. It was roaring so we stayed on the bank. A little cold too as we went in the end of april but it was nice. Definitely will be going again.
It’s got personality and was uncrowned during the week ,has a higher vantage than the other camp places and is up on a bluff more than Chico flat or goldledge
I prefer dispersed camping where I can find it (difficult to find in CA compared to most other states west of the Mississippi), but I'm usually prepared for dry camping when traveling. Any of the free spots along the Kern are worth it, especially right before Memorial Day and right after Labor Day when the crowds are thin and the weather can be less brutal. This one is a little better for shade and generally less populated, as it's further north; farther away from Riverkern (supply runs), but closer to the real exploring (toward the sequoias). Always be wary of leaving camp unattended, petty theft is a thing sadly. Get your fire permit, and practice fire safety knowledge, rangers regularly patrol these areas. Also don't be surprised (hahaha, you will be regardless) by the common occurrence of military jet fighters making the canyon run. Be respectful (don't steal other people's engraved flasks and for Pete's sake don't litter), mindful (the least possible impact on nature you can make), and safe (while the hot springs and river dips are fun, it's also full of ecoli; and again, fire is real). Hope you find the magic the area is offering!
My family has been coming to this spot for 30+ years! Such a nice spot with a beautiful river!
Pretty and quiet place to go camping. Great spot to go inside the river.
