Description:
Rattlesnake Camp is located along the Rattlesnake Creek Trail and is a prime destination for backpackers going from Los Padres Reservoir up towards Pat Springs. This camp was probably so named because of the wild
raspberries that grow here (in season).

Rattlesnake Camp Survey - 07-03-2023 - by boy scout troop 97Link: Rattlesnake Camp Date: 07-03-2023 Surveyor Name: boy scout troop 97 Camp Description: Back in 1967 troop 97 for a Monterey California was trying to hike from pet springs aka Big pines to Lost Padres dam the shark patrol found rattlesnake Creek and followed it to Carmel River there was no trail we had to hop rocks all the way to the Carmel River then we went down Carmel River and the water of the dam reservoir backed up we had to go back up Carmel River till we found a service road that took us down to jamesburg. The 10 mile hike was supposed to take 5 hours and ended up taking 15 hours. Three army helicopters were dispatched from four-door and airlifted 33 other boy scouts from Big pines to four-door California it was in the Monterey peninsula herald. I do not think you should take rattlesnake Creek there is another trail that goes from pet springs to Los Padres dam. Do not take Blue Rock trail.. Water Source: Flowing Water Source Details: Rattlesnake Creek seem to have plenty of water flowing at a fast rate making it impassable Weather Conditions:
