This was one of our favorite camping spots in the 1970's. We found an area on the Kern River below Lake Isabella that was very secluded, even on busy holiday weekends. 4 wheel drive was required to get back into the campsite when we first started going. I the mid to late 70's, the dirt road was smoothed a bit getting rid of some of the deep ruts so a truck or even a small car could get in.
