An amazing campground with an excellent staff. The beach is nice and how do you beat an oceanesque view. Best sunsets of any state campgrounds.

Is this beach nicer than Sylvan Beach

Bucket Squad | Sep 29, 2019
Denise Williams | Sep 29, 2019

It is more rocky than Sylvan Beach but you don't need to walk out a mile to be knee deep. The beach itself is probably about the same but Fair Haven has much nicer, cleaner facilities

Can you kayak to the bluffs here?

Jennifer Wood | Sep 29, 2018
John B Upstate NY | Sep 29, 2018

Yes you can kayak most anywhere. Best be expierienced to go beyond breakwaters. Watch your wind and surf. It can kick up sometimes. Beesv care full in the marshes and don't really recommend them. Too many mosquitoes too. Bring a charged phone with you in watertight container and don't go alone. The chimneys are close to Fairhaven State Park but you can go two milikes up road and walk to them. You can also walk the shore most anywhere around that area. Please mark helpfull.

Sharon Hess | Sep 28, 2020
john bonitz | Sep 28, 2020

Respectfully it's best to bring your own food. They have charcoal stand-up cookers and benches and a play area for kids up a little further. They have plenty of stores nearby within a mile to get anything that you would need prior to arriving and they also have a place called Big Bo's that has the best ice cream in the area. Every time I go there I always go there and get the bubble gum ice cream, only place within a 25/30 mile radius that has it.
