Getting Outdoors

There is no doubt about the fact that most people enjoy camping at Falls Lake State Recreation Area because of the lake. With thousands of acres of the pristine lake to enjoy, the recreation area is a boater’s paradise. To make it even more convenient, multiple boat ramps are laid out across the area for easy access to the water. A marina is also available.

Fishing goes hand in hand with boating but don’t be fooled into thinking that one needs a boat to land a decent catch as inland fishing is just as good.

Camping at Falls Lake State Recreation Area

After making up your mind to do some state park RV camping at Falls Lake, start by finding a Wake Forest camper rental and drive down to the park. The recreation area is home to more than 200 RV sites which are situated in two separate campgrounds. The Rolling View Campground lies in the western part of the park while the Holly Point Campground is situated in the opposite direction.

At the Rolling View Campground, some of the amenities include water and electric hookups. Even though the sites do not offer sewer hookups, the dump station on-site comes in handy. With a collection of spacious pull-thru and back-in sites, don’t worry about parking your long RV rental as the campground is big rig friendly. Additionally, campers get access to picnic areas and a playground.

On the other hand, Holly Point Campground also offers electric and water hookups on both pull-thru and back-in sites. The campground also has a dump station, waterfront access, and don’t leave your pet behind as pets are allowed. Visitors are free to use the recreational trails which make their way right by the campground.

Exploring the Area

When your time camping with an RV at Falls Lake State Recreation Area nears an end, it would be a good idea to visit the nearby attractions before packing up for new adventures. History buffs will be elated by a visit to the Museum of Life and Science in nearby Durham while golfers might prefer the Croasdaile Country Club instead.

To put a long-lasting smile on your kids’ faces, crank up your rental RV and take them to the Wheels Fun Park. Unlike the chain operated fun parks, the family-owned establishment is great for kids as it isn’t overcrowded or loud. After some mini-golf, have a go at the Go-karts and wind up the day roller skating.

Since it will be a shame to leave without checking out Raleigh, plan your time wisely as you’ll be spoiled for choice over what to visit. How about starting your day soaking up some art at the North Carolina Museum of Art followed by some shopping at the Crabtree Valley Mall. During the evening, surprise your better half with a movie at the local IMAX theatre or a candlelit dinner. If time allows, feel free to venture down to Fayetteville and see what all the city has to offer.
