Fairview Campground offers a beautiful setting next to the Kern River, with clean facilities and friendly camp hosts. Many campers enjoyed the spacious sites and proximity to fishing and swimming, as well as the convenience of nearby amenities like McNally's restaurant. While some noted issues with noise and wasps, overall experiences were positive, with many guests planning to return.

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.

Beanchs needs to be closer to campsites or better positioned.

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

The campsite was very noisy, with screaming and partying until 12am. Difficult with young children. Very surprised the host did not ask them to be quiet. We didn't ever see the host, not even to be check in. Other than that the campsite was great.
