Nice and clean! Only passing through but definitely plan to return for a longer visit. The staff we spoke to were nice and friendly, helpful. From what we could see the area was beautiful and well kept.

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.

Very nice campground with large sites and very clean. There is no septic but water and electricity is available. The lake is beautiful, nice swimming beach and a few trails. Highly recommended.

The campground and amenities were clean and stocked and we enjoyed our multi level site. The staff were also timely and helpful in responding to emails I sent with questions the week prior to our reservation. The only negative is that at no time during our 3 night stay was there any staff at the guard shack/entrance/camper registration station place. We arrived after hours and followed the posted directions which said to setup camp and return to the entrance next morning to register your site and get your vehicle tag. We went to the station to register and also buy firewood 3 times that day starting at 8am and it was never staffed. Checked several times the following day. Nobody there. On the second day, staff tracked us down at the fishing pier and asked who we were, what site we were in and why we hadnt registered. We told him nobody was ever there and he said something about somebody had come in late. But he gave us our tag and we were left alone the rest of our stay. However, we were in and out of the park several times a day each day and not once did we see it staffed and we never were able to buy firewood.

Well maintained campground featuring sites with electric and water or water only. Bath/ shower houses scattered throughout. Level campsites with fire pits and some handicap accessible. The bathhouse I visited was clean and warm on a cold March evening. Gate employee was friendly and very helpful.

Camp here every year, several times a year. Its lake side and has plenty of campsites open year-round. Currently in a site and having Thanksgiving in it, so far everything is going great and their playground helps take care of the kids while the adults can enjoy some peace.

In the months of March and April its a great time to visit. The Park is open for free during this time and theres not a whole lot of activity. At the end of The rolling view camp point its a great place to watch the sunset incredible views on clear days check out the photos. But I do caution you that you need mosquito repellent because the mosquitoes are out in full force. Lots of ducks, geese, seagulls, and deer can be seen while hiking around the area. Check in at the ranger house and pick up a map. Their are 2 fishing piers and 2 boat ramps & 1 Marina. There are 105 campsites, 70 with water & electric and 35 primative. Additional 4 group campsites and 2 of the 70 water & electric sites can hold duplex. Enjoy! It is a great place to go.

One of NCs beautiful state parks, first time camping at Rolling view, we will be back. Loop A sites are a little closer together than Holly Point loop 3. However we liked the swim and associated picnic areas better at Rolling view. Anywho, get out and visit a park. 40 to choose from

Stayed at this campground enjoyed the scenic views. Staff kept the bathrooms clean and the areas where you parked your camper were blown off.
