With some digging, it now appears fairly certain that "Tetley's 
Mountain Camp" is a location presently known as "Pacific Pines Camp". 
It is in Crestline, at 4547 ft. elevation, and the road on the west 
side of the camp is called "Tetley Lane" - along Tetley Lane there 
were cabins used in the 1930's. I'm awaiting confirmation from 
Rhea-Frances Tetley. A number of folks came across a reference to the 
site being "20 mi E of Redlands" - this is clearly an erroneous 
placement by a later researcher, who was probably as clueless as I 
was (the actual spot is 15 mi NNW of Redlands, according to Google 
Earth). "Tetley Park" is just one of those place names which was 
never a *formal* place name, and almost impossible to track short of 
eyewitness accounts.

Thanks to all who responded,
