DIRECTIONS - Drive to Barlow Pass and begin hiking along the trail to Monte Cristo. In about a mile, take the right-hand trail towards Gothic Basin. Pretty quickly you will encounter the creek and should (depending on how tall the brush is), see the falls distantly upstream. As you can see from my picture, it's possible to get closer, but it's not really worth the trouble.

Del Campo Falls is a mid-sized, kinda ugly waterfall located just off the trail up to Gothic Basin. The falls can be distantly seen from the creek crossing and again a through-the-trees view from just off the trail near a switchback. It's a nice waterfall, but just think of it as a quick stop on the way to bigger and better things. Thanks to Amy O'Reilly for the heads up on this one!
