Rolling View State Recreation Area & Campground — Attraction in Butner

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 hadn't 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.

I was visiting Rollingview State park this past weekend on July 4th and want to voice a concern over a issue that occurred. On the first night at our site an unmarked white truck appeared at our site indicating people had deep voices and there were too many people at the site. (But then said you are not loud though).

I would hate to think it was because of the color of our skin that made him make an invalid complaint. We all pay taxes and should be able to utilize this park...

In the months of March and April it's a great time to visit. The Park is open for free during this time and there's not a whole lot of activity. At the end of The rolling view camp point it's 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...
