We decided to go camping last minute on this July 4th weekend. We just started looking for a camping spot a week before we went. Unfortunately Pinecrest Lake was full so my uncle looked for even a farther place. Bummer no lake this time. Luckily, we found a spot at Kennedy Meadows. It was like only 10 miles further. It was so beautiful and had rocky mountains, a clean river and honestly, not much people. Only two other campers around us hehe.

I now am happy that we got this area. We had a blast enjoyin the river and views…hope u guys enjoy the fun, laughter and nature views in this video.

This is an edited down version of the 55-minute long footage from our camping trip at Lake Nacimiento, CA. Not everything went according to plan, but we found some fun in pointing out our mistakes and unpreparedness. I didn’t film that much of what was going on in between because I wanted to enjoy the site myself, so what you see here is what you get. Hope you find this somewhat interesting!
