Hey Bruce, I would have suggested a great campsite, on the Kern River, off the Rattlesnake trail about 75 meters in. The campsite sits on the banks of the Kern surrounded by a heavy forest. Nice fire pit with log benches.
Where? Right at the junction of Rattlesnake trail and the Kern Trail. There is a row of rocks (small), somewhat blocking the entrance of the use trail straight to the Kern.
Yeah, last year I hiked the Kern River loop 3 times, May 4th, June 12th and September 24th.
The September trip took me up Rattlesnake, to where the trail to Big Arroyo breaks off.
