Fairview Campground

All good!

Fairview Campground has been taken over by another hosting company. This transfer has resulted in an unexpected change in site numbers. Site numbers on here 'rec.gov' does not reflect the numbers at the campsite.

I made a reservation for a particular spot, and upon arrival, realized a site numbering problem. As a result, I was placed in a site I did not reserve. The site was significantly smaller than what I originally reserved. I talked to the camp host and was able to change to a different spot with more space. Not the spot I originally reserved because someone was occupying it.

Missed matched site numbers are my biggest complaint this year, and I hope the new host address this issue.

Great time! Windy but not strong enough to ruin the trip, if anything it helped because the sun was brutal! Nothing the cool river cant fix. Will come back again!

My favorite campground.

So-so location, fine sights, fine place, zero cell service, limited facilities

Such a great campsite! The views are amazing in every direction. The bathrooms were nice & clean. And access to the river was great!!

I've been camping here over 30 years. Usually this is in the late fall. I always enjoy this campground. The difference this time was the night and the temperature dropping in the low 40's. Yes, I slept in all my clothes and fortunately had I brought thick wool socks. Sunrise on the campground was 7 am, so no getting up before the sun was on my site. I caught 2 trout the first morning. One was 10 inches and the other about 14. I kept one for a fried potatoes, onions and trout meal, the other was released. I journeyed up past Johnsondale to check out my favorite meadows. My heart sank. I forgot about the devastating wildfires. The meadows were unrecognizable. Well, I remember the McNally fire years ago and how nature will regenerate itself.
I was at Fairview 8 days, and I enjoyed it more than my fall trips because the temperature during the day was barely at times 80 degrees. FYI, McNally's burger stand was open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
My son joined me on the weekend. I took him to Kernville Museum which was a highlight from him. Bob was a very insightful volunteer, who gave us a very thorough history lesson. Thanks Bob.

The campsites was vary clean and even though the toilet are pit toilets they are kept clean.

The hosts were super friendly and helpful! Bathrooms were super clean and well maintained. What a great location to access some of the areas hidden gems! We’ll be back!

Space 18. Great spot. Good shade and riverfront.
