What Guests Are Saying

Fairview Campground offers a stunning location with spacious and clean campsites, many right next to the river, perfect for family activities like fishing and tubing. The camp amenities, including clean bathrooms and friendly hosts, enhance the overall experience. However, some visitors reported issues with wasps and minor inconveniences with campground management, but these did not significantly detract from the enjoyment for most guests.

For 25 years I been coming to Fairview Camp Ground for the pass several years I have complained about the potholes on the drive entrance and in the campsites. this year probably had the worst potholes ever and could damage my vehicle. The rest rooms were clean but 1 weekend there was NO paper in the men’s restroom for 2 days.

Watch out for the potholes when turning into Fairview Campground and while in there. Worst potholes ever this year.

Beautiful campsite! We stayed close to the river which had SO much water rushing by right now. It was beautiful and just a little scary. There’s not a ton of shade so bring a canopy or something of the like if you can!

Beautiful clean campground where you can easily walk to the general store for more supplies. Site 11 was great for tent camping! Very large. Site 12 for an RV was not optimal. I would not book site 12 again.

We have a few remarks:
- our spot, which we reserved a few months ago was occupied. The camping host made a mistake by giving the other people this spot.
- there was a guy named Aaron, who told us he was family of the host, that was very intrusive and kept invading our personal space trying to manage things with no purpose. He had no name tag or campground clothing.
- we went on a hike and took the RV with us. We left the chairs and table at our spot, like all the other guests, and after 3 hours we came back and our stuff was gone.
Nobody had seen anything..
Overall this gave us an unsafe feeling at this campground.
