Camping + Kern River + Trail of 100 Giant Trees + Hot Springs = Fun Weekend in CA
Beware millennials. You may not have cell phone coverage if you attempt this adventure. Just a short three-hour drive from Los Angeles, and an hour from Bakersfield, a packed weekend adventure awaits you. As I packed my car with three Angelenos and our camping gear, we decided to have a break from the hustle and bustle of the big city, for a quiet trip to Kern River, and Trail of 100 Giant Trees, Sequoia National Monument. When we hit the road back to our final destinations in L.A., we took a side trip to the hot springs just off Borel Road. Only been camping in California a handful of times, I grabbed what I thought I needed for camping and came back with a longer list of items that I forgot. When you hit the river for tubing, be careful of the rocks. The water itself was a little low due to the California drought and because of this, I skin my back, making a previous injury worst. Just 15 minutes from our campsite, we entered a small town called Kernville, where surprisingly, we ate at a brewery that had a good food selection. Around the corner is a pizza joint for families with kids. Thank You, David, for a fun adventure. I manage to make a few close friends from the outing.

Balcony Falls Campsite Review, James River VA
This was taken on a very windy day, please excuse the sound quality and shakiness!
I am standing below Big Cove Branch at the start of this video. The campsite in this review is actually just above Big Cove Branch. On farther exploration, we only found two more campsites downriver, one just below Big Cove Branch (as shown on the map) and one just above the falls. Both were small and rather trashy.
Coming out of the campsite shown in this video, turn right at the edge of the woods and follow a narrow trail into the woods about 20 feet down the beach. The trail roughly parallels the river, then turns right at the cliff and winds back to a GORGEOUS 30-foot waterfall with a deep pool at it's base. Definitely a must-see!
