Fairview Campground

Couldn't have asked for a better labor day getaway. For site 10, the proximity to the river was just several yards away and we had a blast floating down the river. One tip that I glanced over from earlier reviews that I felt was without question the most important tipi of all was getting a canopy with bug screen walls. If it weren't for this, I'm not sure how we would have dealt with the constant barrage of wasps drawn to our cooking. I've seen another family without screens and I think they laid out food a few feet away to draw them away from their canopy. Not really sure how effective that was. Also I found the screens helpful during the evening when river flies were drawn to our lanterns. Also, it can get windy especially at night so having tents that you can secure to surrounding rocks or the ground would be ideal. We'll definitely come back again.

Perfectly fine

Really liked the location and the staff and the bathhouse was a plus

The campground was nice not crowded at all. Only issue was when we went to check in there’s somebody in our space that we have reserved. I said something with the camp host he said there was nothing he could do. Also, the Camp host did not come around to check reservations while we were there.

The camp host, Mauricio, is completely inept, has a terrible attitude and clearly had not done his job since at least 8/17 which was the last date on most of the tags in the campground. As a result, when we arrived at about 3pm on 8/27 there were 5 tents in our spot and a car parked so we couldn't pull in. I had to track down the camp host who was sleeping on the job and needed to change from civilian clothes into his work wear before he came over. When I questioned why the tag on our site had not been updated since Aug 17th and didn't have our name on it, he became combative and told us not to tell him how to do his job. He also said he had been off the day before and that is why the tags weren't updated. He said if we wanted to complain we needed to call his boss. One of our friends who was staying in a spot close by walked to McNally's in order to call the Forest Service and try to track down who we needed to talk to. She finally connected with the correct people who came by about an hour later and had words with him and stayed until the campers came back, packed up and left. We did not get into our spot until about 6:30pm He is completely incompetent and should be fired!!

Fun and lovely river to enjoy with the inner tube and only 30 mins away from the Sequoia National forest. Great camping experience 👌🏻

WASPS WASPS AND MORE WASPS!!!! They were relentless. Any sight/smell of any kind of food, they were there, day and night. NO PEACE!!! We couldn’t eat in our tent it was too hot. We had to eat in our car. We got stung so many times. Also NO CAMPFIRES! Don’t bother bringing firewood. We had our stove and were able to cook in the stove, with the wasps, I guess extra source of protein :( it was nice being close to the river. The camp host is nice. Little shade. Enjoy the wasps!

We come back every year! We love it and the c loop camp host is the best!

As far as the campground is concerned; the bathrooms are outhouses. There are no showers. You are not spoiled here. If you’re okay with that, then as far as this camping spot goes, there is a Yellow Jacket nest near by that invades your breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You’re basically trapped in your tent. This spot had no shade, so in August, my kiddos were half dead. The river isn’t easy to get to, despite being really close. We had to leave early. No fun.

We stayed here for a week. Great location, but loud music at night. Quiet hours not enforced by camp host.
