Falls Lake State Recreation Area
Wake Forest, NC

Today we traveled 210 miles to Falls Lake State Park. This is a short stop on our way to The Outer Banks. This is our first experience with a State Park and the first thing we noticed was the distance from the interstate and the lack of good park signs. The roads and over hanging trees are not "big rig" friendly but the low cost and generous space between sites makes this a good short term location.

Here is our rig set up on site 30 of Holly Point Loop 2.

As you can see we are very secluded with great shade trees. I was concerned our satellite dish wouldn't be able to lock onto any satellites but it sync'd right up. Other than a 35 foot A Class we are probably the biggest rig in the park. It looks like most people use this as a weekend or short stay park and of course the time of year there are many available sites. There is a lake here and they even have a beach.

We'll get out tomorrow to do some exploring and go into the closest town, Wake Forest. We are just 30 miles or so north of Raleigh-Durham. We'll be here until Thursday and then head over to the coast.
