Good campground, no electrical, bathrooms are primitive. It was a bit of a far drive from the main road. But the stars were beautiful at night and the campsite was not to far from the 100 giants trail.

Beautiful RUSHING river right at this site. Not for playing in, but it is stunning. The Trail of 100 Giants is not too far from here and was an incredible display of sequoias!

Fairview is my favorite campground near the Kern River. Elevation is higher so it's not as hot as it would be down by Kernville. The campground is right next to Johnny McNally's Lodge, that has the best restaurant, burger stand and little store. A few miles up the road is the 100 Giants Trail (sequoia trees), Dome Rock, Peppermint Falls, Rock slides and diving rocks. The past couple years the river has been low enough to play and tube right out of your campsite at Fairview.
