Fairview Campground

Fairview campground nestled along side the Kern River is probably one of the best campsites down this highway where each and every river spot gives you full access to the rivers beauty. The campsite is very well-maintained and it is such a relief that they also have bathrooms that are fully enclosed. They were clean and stocked with toilet paper however depending on the time of year and how many campers are visiting them I will always recommend you bring your own TP just in case. The camp host was very friendly and accommodating and I will be glad to visit again in the near future. One of the best things about this site is up near the road there is a small convenience store where you can stock up on ice or fishing supplies or even food in the event you forgot to pack some thing. The river is beautiful and refreshing and I did not see neglect or litter anywhere around the campsite . You can tell most of the campers that visit his location are very careful to leave no trace. I absolutely loved it and me and my family were able to create new and long lasting memories at this beautiful campsite. For activities it is great for fishing, swimming and really just enjoying the peace and quiet .

we arrived on a Sunday. The camp hosts were accommodating and the river was nice. However, the campsite and surrounding area was very trashy and other campers were riding their E-bikes through out campsite. One of the riders wiped out. ouch! The place is pretty thrashed. the bathrooms are beat up and the door handle barely worked on one of the heads and i thought i might get stuck inside. Dreadful!
Fishing was OK, but water warms up during the day so you should only fish during cooler hours. Give a hoot!
Swimming and floating is nice. took me about an hour to clean up trash around the river and our campsite/surrounding sites. should have done it at the beginning of stay rather than at end. I would have been less bummed!
Like i said, Give a hoot!

Very popular spot in the summer. Great location next to the river and a food stand and market. Really cool spot.

We had an issue with our big tent not fitting but we made it work. But overall it was fun and relaxing also, air Jets kept flying by.

Loved how close this was to the river! The site was huge. But---- there were boulders EVERYWHERE. Not a single way through camp without a rock in your path.

Trash on the ground, the restrooms stinking to our campsite, not much of a shade. The good thing was a bistro and a store in a very close proximity of the campground. And the river.

Bathrooms were consisently out of toilet paper. Several of the bathrooms had broken locks.

Pros:
- great camp host, helpful and informative. Regularly checks facilities for restocking.
- great night sky view on all sites. Some light spill on the nearby McNally’s but all good nonetheless.
- sites were fairly large and flat. You can set your tent pretty much anywhere you need.
- accessible Kern River at any point in the campground. Some sites are prime and next to the river.

Cons:
- definitely variable, but had loud neighbors and quiet hours weren’t enforced. Nearby sites were still on pumped out music until 2300.
- our site had lingering wasps and preparing food was a hassle.

Clean and convenient campground. Camp host was friendly. Walking distance to McNallys for a great lunch or dinner.
