Camping at Fairview near Canton

Fairview Campground sits on the north shore of Canton Lake on the North Canadian River in northwest Oklahoma about 11 miles from the town of Canton and within the Corps of Engineers' multi-use recreation area around the dam. Canton Lake is one of western Oklahoma's primary outdoor hubs: a broad, calm stretch of water paralleling the dam draws water-skiers, tubers and personal watercraft, the gently sloping sandy beaches invite swimmers and sunbathers, and anglers come for crappie, white bass, hybrid bass, channel catfish, largemouth bass and especially walleye (the lake supplies walleye eggs statewide and hosts an annual Walleye Rodeo in mid-May).
