The campground is clean and well maintained by the camphost who is very kind and friendly to the campers! She has been very attentive to everyone. The camp sites are well spaced between neighbors. The vault toilet seats however need to be changed. Our site #16 was awesome! We had our own river front with sandy area to put our chairs while watching kids play in the water. It was very windy when we stayed during thanksgiving week so be prepared if forecast says so because there’s no cover from it if you are tent camping. It can get really chilly too! Luckily, campfire restrictions were lifted that week. Overall, it was a very fun experience!

I've been going to the Sequoia Campgrounds for 50 years and never been disappointed. My sons and I have been going together the last 20 years and have a great time. Campsite was clean and easy access. Fishing always outstanding

Awesome camping spot especially in the hot summer. The river is just minutes away and so much fun stuff to do. Bathrooms are porta potty style and there are no showers or electricity. No service but you can walk down to the red barn convenience store and connect back up. I do wish people were more considerate to others and the environment and clean up after themselves. We found some trash on our campground and floating in the river. Other than that Fairview is definitely going to be our new camping spot for our annual family camping trip.

Nice little campground along the Kern. some of the door handles in the restrooms need to be fixed. I almost got stuck in one which i guess would have made for a funny story. Many of the campsites don't have much shade so bring a canopy tent if you wind up with a campsite with no or little shade. Being next to McNally's was convenient too.

Amazing campground right next to the river! Hot during the day over the summer but the river is a perfect place to hang out and cool down
