The open fishing pier at Rolling View is such a great place to throw in a line, catch a fish, and pass a few pleasant hours. Nice relaxing place to fish and enjoy the birds singing, meet new friends, and even enjoy the beauty of a sunset! The Rangers and staff are so friendly and informative, from the gate to the folks patrolling. My wife and I really enjoy this neat little spot to unwind and kick back a spell!
Rolling View B Loop is where we have stayed several times since 2018. We typically try to get site B19 but have also stayed on B17. B19 faces the woods so you're not looking at the back of another camper. Since our last stay in 2019 they have upgraded the electrical to 50 amp services which is a big help when temps are warmer and two roof AC units are needed to maintain cooling. There are several nice sites on A & B loops. It's a very colorful Campground in the fall.
Beautiful, newly renovated park., Lots of space between sites. Most sites are full shade except a few in loop B 48 and up are on an open hill near the playground. Clean facilities and well maintained utilities and services.
My husband and I stayed at B15, which is a nice spacious and shady site. There was ample room for our camper, truck, and bicycles. The campground is quiet and well maintained. There was a good ranger presence throughout our stay.
One of the best locations in Wake County to escape from the city! Come to this location to fish, camp, and have a picnic or grill out. This place also makes a fantastic photo spot! This location has sheltered picnic areas with grills in each one. Generally they are first come, first serve, so if you have an event or large group of people, you can call the park to reserve a spot for a fee.
