Fairview-Riverside State Park
About
State Park
Scattered throughout the park beneath a canopy of huge oak trees, you will find numerous picnic tables, as well as a group pavilion, a playground, and comfort stations. Spend a relaxing afternoon on the river or venture out into the water for lively outdoor recreation.
If you prefer to stay on land, the park's nature trail will take you by the river where you can enjoy the view. Then, cap off the perfect day by staying overnight in the park's campground.
The cool, crystal-clear waters of the Tchefuncte River yield bass, bluegill, white perch, and bream near the park area, and channel catfish, speckled trout and redfish where the river meets the lake. Freshwater fishing from the river bank or a boat offers unmatched delights for even the most casual fisherman. Crabbing in the lake and the river is also popular.
Just two miles away by road and a few minutes by water is the Madisonville public boat launch. Many visitors use the launch for access to the calm waters of the Tchefuncte River or the exhilarating expanse of Lake Pontchartrain.

ScoutGreat place!
This place is beautiful. Cheap electric and water hook ups, lots of space for each campsite.
RangerMadisonville, LA…A huge disappointment
It’s a nice park. BUT the site we got was for a 50’ but there’s a fence on the other side and virtually impossible to “back” into. I asked for premium but apparently the website isn’t clear. Since I asked for full hookup we got no septic. We were here for 4 days. We began to put the jacks down and kept stopping, Finally got them down and it kept saying low voltage and couldn’t get the slides out since we were throwing the breaker every time. We had them part in part out and power kept going off and surging. We got here around 2. We called about the power and their help had left already. They called him back and he showed up 2 hours later and is now repairing it in the dark. It’s almost 6 pm and still no power. We told them we just wanted a refund which they did give us eventually. The whole park has a huge issue with drainage. Water was standing everywhere.
GuideGreat base to explore area
We spent 2 nights here & the campground was full of laughter & family fun. Weather was perfect. Level sites, clean facilities & friendly service. Def’ly will return.
