Dispersed camping in Sequoia National Forest.
Area is nice but that's it unfortunately. We stayed here for only 1 night in a tent on a Wednesday, a couple days before memorial day. Tons of other people already having there tents set up and "reserving" spots for friends/family. So be early or you end up next to the people who drink so much they puke already in the afternoon.
Loud music from other campers but the river covered most of the noise.
You should also watch out for the spiders (don't get bit!!!) and the skunk that lives at the river and doesn't seem to be afraid of people at all!!! It walked right up to all the tents, so clean up after yourself.
Also, people seem to not know how to use a bathroom properly... just disgusting.
Not really a designated trail. Have to climb over rocks and steep hills. Loved every minute of it. So many spots to stop and enjoy the freezing creek.
Camping at Brush is great, & the bathrooms are cleaned every other day. People for the most part pick up for themselves. Music is loud everywhere cause we're there to party. It you want quiet time do not camp here.
Currently the upper Kern river is swift moving with class 5 rapids and not for the inexperienced. Some campgrounds may be closed along the upper Kern. However, many "Day Use Only" areas can still be visited and the scenery is beautiful.
