In terms of camping, the Adirondack Mountain Club's High Peaks Map (different than the National Geographic Map) is worth purchasing as it shows the location of legal, designated campsites. In particular, you need to be aware that there isn't really any camping (legal or established) near Rainbow Falls. The closes good camping is at the sites near Gill Brook, across the valley.
Note that you'll need a bear canister for this trip, as you'll be camped in the Eastern Zone of the High Peaks. Fires are allowed at Gill Brook, as well as the designated site south of the Colvin Range, but no where else. And make sure you pay attention to the location of private property that the trail crosses, on which no camping is permitted at all.
