Rainbow Pool Campground, Central Sierra Nevada, California

   

Custom Search

 

This Campground is currently day use only, no overnight camping allowed.

The pools are a sacred historical Cliff Diving spot more than anything else. The diving area is neglected and needs a cement platform and better egress to prevent slips. Body surfing over the falls is thinkable only in high volume waterflow (spring months), since the sharp ledge below the falls will split your skull open after August/ Sept. Be careful! NO GLASS pack your trash! JB Says James Buskist
