Fairview Lake Named Best Campground in Sussex County 3 Years Running

We have some news we're still smiling about: Fairview Lake YMCA has been voted Best Campground in Sussex County in the 2026 Community's Choice Awards.

And honestly? This one belongs to all of you.

It belongs to every family that's pitched a tent by the water, every camper who learned to canoe on our lake, every alum who came back years later just to see if the trails still smelled the same (they do). It belongs to the counselors who've made "home away from home" more than just a phrase, and to every neighbor who told a friend, "you have to check out Fairview Lake."

Sussex County has no shortage of beautiful places. Being chosen as the best of them, by the people who live here, means everything.

At Fairview Lake, we've always believed that a few days by the lake, away from screens, surrounded by trees and people who care about you, can change how a kid sees the world. This award tells us that belief is shared by our whole community, and that's a pretty wonderful thing to know.

So thank you. Truly.

If you'd like to help us keep that experience going, and open it up to even more families who couldn't otherwise afford a summer at camp, consider making a gift today at givebutter.com/fvl. Every dollar helps make sure the best of Sussex County stays within reach for everyone.
