Fairview Campground

I've been here a handful of times and enjoy the location. There is no reception and I hope it stays that way. Not many animals aside from bugs, bees, birds (chatty and will grab food) , squirrels, and raccoons that will grab food items if left out at night.
Most of the picnic benches are beyond repair and shameful.
Toilets have friendly flies that kinda tickle. It would be great if the toilet doors would lock, I prefer to have my morning routine alone and not with strangers. It's nice that some people bring incense sticks, the smells are not natural. Some of y'all need help.

Bring stuff to enjoy the river

Some nice spots close to the river. I recommend you bring a canopy for shade.

It’s worth the drive. It takes us 2 1/2 hrs.

An awesome experience. The person on site was nice and friendly. He really went above and beyond to assure everyone at the campsite was helped.

Site 55 is not available, belongs to camp host Mauricio, he was the main reason this trip was so good, he was accomodating, full of insights, recomendations, kept campground neat, squirrels kept at bay beacuse of Spartacus-Mauricio's trained dog. From info to wood, Mauricio was ready to help. Thanks for everything, already recommended camp to all my friends, they 2 families are actually there this weekend, and im looking for dates to get back there.

Great location on the Kern River and right next to Johnny McNally's Lodge with great steaks a little hotel and general store. Bring some portable shade as most sites have very little, But hands down this is my favorite place along the Kern.

We stayed at site 15 and loved it! There’s a little beach where we hung out and fished. Something of note: there’s was no shade! Some folks showed up next to us and ended up moving due to the lack of shade. So bring a pop up or you’ll fry.

Fantastic spot right near Rushing river (May ‘24) can’t wait to go back again.

Really a great campground on the banks of the roaring Kern River. One caveat: Jets from Edward’s Air Force Base scream overhead on weekdays, up the canyon, shattering the peace and quiet. They flew over 4-16 times/day while we were there and one NEVER gets used to it…just ask the locals. Seems like the military could find a less-populated canyon to practice their little war games. It’s really loud when the fly over.
