What Guests Are Saying
Fairview Campground offers a stunning location with spacious and clean campsites, many right next to the river, perfect for family activities like fishing and tubing. The camp amenities, including clean bathrooms and friendly hosts, enhance the overall experience. However, some visitors reported issues with wasps and minor inconveniences with campground management, but these did not significantly detract from the enjoyment for most guests.

Fairview campground was absolutely amazing! We stayed 2 nights at Campground 15 which was right on the river. We fell asleep under the stars each evening. The campsite is about a 45 minute drive to the sequoia groves at 100 Giants Trail. It's also very close to McNally's restaurant/steakhouse which was amazing. The camp's amenities were well kept. Highly recommend this campsite.

Good Alternative in Sequoia Forest if you cannot make it to Sequoia NP - 100 Giant Tree Trail 40 min drive and the riverside was great for the kids with many safe spots to play

This was our first time camping. Randy (host) met us upon our arrival and took time to explain to us everything about the campground. The facilities were clean and everyone enjoyed their time at Fairview.

Great campsite, very clean. Enjoyed our stay. Don’t forget a pop up because there isn’t much shade.

This campsite is absolutely gorgeous, especially if you snag campsite 9, you are sitting on the river and snug in the valley of mountains. Its a shame that its 30 minutes away from Kernville and you have to drive up a WINDY road to get in or out of there.
The camp host is very kind and it is a beautiful stay.

Campground is very nice, the tent sites have lots of room and separation from each other, but there is not much shade. Vault toilets are clean, water spigots are all around. The river is spectacular. Only negatives are the wind ( we were there mid April, tents need extra guy ropes) and the training fighter jets that fly at low altitude over the campground from 9am to 5pm weekdays, unbelievably loud! We got used to it but it freaked out the dog.

The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. There is no water at the site so bring extra.

The location was great; everyone was friendly and helpful. We got some really good pictures of the view and Sundown. Kids did some fishing and enjoyed their time on the swing at the Bridge. However, we had a really bad experience with the bees. They were crazy as soon as we started cooking, they came and were relentless, we couldn't eat without getting attacked by bees. We got rid of our trash asap and didn't have any around but 2 of us adults still got stung, I myself started having an allergic reaction since I had not been stung since childhood and the local store had run out of Benadryl. My kids had to drive down further to get me some. Apparently, many others in the area were having the same issue. Needless to say, we packed up early morning and left asap.

Such a beautiful campground. Spots are roomy and not on top of each other. Bought firewood at the general store just right up the road.
