Where the Ozark National Forest spreads across north-central Arkansas, Fairview Recreation Area sits off main routes near the small community of Pelsor. The US Forest Service maintains this campground year-round with several sites that include fire rings and picnic tables. A spigot provides potable water, and pit toilets serve the area.
Sites offer level ground for tent and RV setup. The campground receives less traffic than major recreation areas, creating a quieter base for exploring sites near Ozark National Forest. Forest Service maintenance keeps facilities stocked and functional. Spring through fall provides the most comfortable camping conditions.
