For Fairview Riverside State Park: Our second time at this park. This time was spring break in Louisiana so it was packed. Reserved a month in advance and not much was available, but got site 14 which was 52 foot supposedly. Due to being a corner site and strange road configuration...its definitely not the site for unskilled big rig parkers, which thankfully I am not. Possibly better suited for 5th wheelers. Heavy rains turned park into a quagmire...full of wet, muddy, but happy campers. Happily, the park drains well. Good 50 amp and water pressure...no sewer hookups. Restrooms were immaculate despite heavy use. Stayed in a 40 ft class A with tow.

For Fairview Riverside State Park: We were here mid week with a 40' class A and towed pick up. We shared the back campground with 4 other campers. We had campsite 68, in which our RV and Pick up both fit. It was dry while we were here, so no mud or rutting issues noted in other reviews. The staff was friendly and helpful. The trail, though short, was just beautiful. The restroom / shower room was immaculate and air conditioned! About a 40 minute drive across the Pontchartrain Causeway (24 mile bridge!) to the Garden District in NoLa. The site had a level gravel pad, 50 amp, water, picnic table, and fire ring. Our experience was very good and we would certainly stay here again.

For Fairview Riverside State Park: Office closes at 5 and NOT open late. There is no Iron Ranger on duty, but suspect if you are a late arrival you can take an empty site.

Park is gated so ask for the code # if you leave.

As others have noted the grass on the edges of the sites and along the roads are muddy and rutted due to larger rigs trying to get into very tight sites.

For Fairview Riverside State Park: This used to be a lovely park that now requires a major "facelift". Campsites become waterfront property with the slightest rainfall. Campers are reserving sites without regard to the actual length of the campsite pad and some park officials are not enforcing the parking situation in these cases. Example pictured: oversized motorhome on this 48' pad allows no parking space for the towed vehicle. Campers refuse to use the provided overflow parking; instead, they park across the front on their unit making a huge mess of what was once a grassy area. Those individuals with oversized units have no respect for campers following them. They turn these sites into muddy trenches due to the lack of turning radius of their unit. State park officials, please do something about allowing rigs too large for sites campers are reserving. :(

For Fairview Riverside State Park: Sites are narrow, close together & very tight to get into. Also, had rained about 4 days before & most sites were very wet.

For Fairview Riverside State Park: This was a delightful campground with spacious sites. Unfortunately, live oaks make maneuvering in certain areas challenging, especially at the dump station where a sign warns "low branch." Also, the dump station is right on the roadway facing the wrong way. The hookups worked fine but we had to take a 30-amp because the 50-amp outlet had fallen onward. There is no wifi but the OTA TV channels were satisfactory. We saw a laundry room and restrooms that looked fairly new but we did not use them during our one night stay.

For Fairview Riverside State Park:
This is a very nice and well kept state park and is very popular so it might be difficult to get into during peak times. There's two camping areas, the larger main area closer to the entrance and the riverfront/riverside area in the back. We stayed in site 38 near one of the bathhouses in the main area. We reserved site 44 but upon arriving we discovered we couldn't back into it due to the narrow street separating the sites, and the large tree on the front corner which made it impossible to even jackknife into it. Obviously the main campground is probably older and the layout was designed for smaller rigs. The back sites nearer to the river are larger and more spacious, and we admired site 70 which we felt to be the best site back there if you can snag it. There's 30/50 amp power and water at each site and dump stations are distributed throughout the park. WiFi was typical for state parks (mostly non-working) and there is a laundry at the bathhouses for FREE. Good luck as some washers/dryers weren't working and people seem to save up months of laundry before going there. Madisonville is a lovely little town and Mandeville is close by and has everything you ever needed.
