Good location. Close to footbridge and McNally's, so , not so secluded and not many trees. Good fishing right from Campground or walking. Better to go during week if you don't like a lot of swimmers /partiers who take over the shoreline on the weekends.

very nice campground. Only negative was that the previous camper at my site left numerous cigarette butts throughout the grounds. Must have picked up over 3 dozen cigarette butts to try and make the site more livable for my grand kids.

To be expected from a national campground. Very simple place. Couldn’t do a camp fire and the bathrooms were disgusting! I’ll stick to a state park or independently owned. Those are better taken care of.

I have been camping Fairview campground for over 40 years and it’s literally like a time warp. The campsites, grounds, everything is always clean and well maintained and camping here is amazing. It is a nice quiet campground with nice river side campsites and each visit is magical. Truly a wonderful experience that we have already booked a second trip next month and plan on coming out again next summer.

This campground was less than stellar. The location was great, right on the river. However, campground quiet hours were not enforced and there was no toilet paper in the bathroom. The campers next to me started their party at 9pm. I eventually went and asked them to turn off their music at 11pm.
