Rolling View Campground

We really enjoyed this place because of how quiet and peaceful it was. With that said, we stayed before Memorial Day, during a slower time of year, but it was pretty great!

The pull-through spot was great for owning a motorcycle so that I could pull my bike under the awning!

The only issue that we had was that the ticks were so bad... my spouse got bit twice and found a few others on her even though we were using 100% deet!

Beautiful state park. We were lucky to get a site with a view of the lake through the trees, but all the sites were beautiful. Almost every site was wooded with long driveways and spacious tent pad areas with a picnic table and campfire ring.

We were there Thanksgiving weekend, so pretty crowded for off-season but still very quiet and tranquil. Well-monitored by nice rangers. There’s rules against alcohol but I bet if you’re well-behaved and relatively discreet nobody would bother you. We read some confusing notes online about gates closing at 6, but that has changed and the campground is now 24 hour access. Bath houses are cleaned frequently & warm enough with hot showers, even mornings we were there when it was in the 30s.

It’s about 25 minutes from everything, and right between Durham & Raleigh. I bet this park is awesome in the summer, lots of fishing & a swimming beach.

We work full time and had no problems using our Verizon mifi & cell phones.

Recommend!

We loved this spot. Quiet, it some people might not like the jet traffic of planes overheard out of RDU. Not a big problem though.

Huge site, 40B is a double site so you have to pay like it’s two sites. But it was great to have so much room. But even the single sites looked spacious.

Fire pit provided. Water and electric. No sewer at sites, but dump station by exit.

The lake is beautiful and there is a large fishing pier. There’s a marina nearby as well. Stores in town are fairly close, 15 minutes or so.

We can’t wait to come back.

We stayed here for a week while visiting family and it was very convenient and generally pretty nice.

The only complaint I have is that the bathhouse showers are small and you have to keep hitting the spray button or the water shuts off. With no way to adjust the temperature it could have been a lot worse then it was.

The water got hot enough after waiting and hitting the spray buttons 3-4 times and it stayed hot enough, so that was good. And if I wasn't a big guy the small shower stalls wouldn't have been much of an issue.

So all and all a pretty good campground, with nice fairly level and private sites. You can't ask for too much more, especially at the price.

This was our first official camping trip with our Airstream and it was awesome! We spent most of our time on loop B site 14 and the view was AMAZING! Tons of privacy and space. No road noise and close to both Raleigh and Durham.

The park only offers water and electric and has a dump station at the entrance.

Bathrooms were clean but beware of snakes!

Only cons:

We would occasionally lose cell service (need for work) when a plane flew over (the park is right in a RDU flight path)

When it rained our site would flood but it would drain pretty quickly.
