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.

It was our yearly family trip, and the kids first time to the Fairview campgrounds. The spot we had (23) was supreme location, that provided shade and a trail to the river. We took nature walks and got to stick our feet in the water. We will definitely be returning and recommending these campgrounds.

It was great! The bathrooms were clean and a lot of nice river spots, the fire ants can just go a bit crazy at site #11 during July but other than that it couldn't have been better and they had free off site parking

There’s a great hike at the Trail of 100 Giants as well as a natural water slide hidden down the road from it.
We also went white water rafting in Kernville. That was a lot of fun!
