1. I enjoyed it on the River. However it has been a dry year .I do not know how deep the water is running
2. I went to Kern River for the very first time last summer. I'm a "girly-girl" but I thoroughly enjoyed the camping experience. Will be going there again this August as a matter of fact. You really can't shower but girls can wash their hair at faucets located throughout the campsite. There are "outhouses" as well.The river is pretty crazy but if you're careful you're able to enjoy hours of floating or swimming. Buy an inner tube. Supplies and groceries are a 5 minute drive away. I hope you choose to camp at Kern.
3. Hey Crazy, If you really want to do somrthing really wild and have a great time. Drive a little bit further to Kings River there is still water flowing and if your really want to have a experiance of a life time . Go White Water Rafting. Look up Kings River Expeditions. If you don't go you'll loose out and you'll always wonder what's it like.
