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

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.

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

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.

There was a rv that ran their generator from 6 AM to 10 PM I understand that’s the window to be able to, but it was very annoying and loud. We go to the Kern River for a peaceful quiet atmosphere.

Beautiful campground on the Kern. Toilets were clean. Campground host was friendly and helpful. Perfect location for fishing. We definitely will be returning. McNally’s restaurant and general store adds convenience you otherwise won’t have.

Close to the water and a flat spot for your tent. Not much shade but still a great site and great campground.
