Rockfish Camp and Retreat Center: what do users think?
Jahliesha Chinnery: It was really fun I made a lot of friends and our counselor was kinda fun
Billy Olsen: A well kept and maintained Christian camp ground.
Adam Ledbetter-Bock: Best Camp near Fayetteville
Zhi Loman: Has nice scenery takes a while to get to the offices tho
b n: My daughter really enjoyed it but please add day camp for 15 year olds my daughter was really sad when it ended and can't afford resident camp
Wesley Spottiswood: Lots of fun and great housing
shannon smith: Jim, camp director, is wonderful with words and communication. I truly believe he is in the business for soul transformation however, this was the worst camp experience we have ever experienced as a family. The leadership team at this camp unfortunately mishandled what should've been a very simple situation which resulted in my daughter and others leaving camp early (my daughter has been attending summer camps all over NC for 6 years and loves it - this has been our only poor experience). While Jim attempted to apologize for the situation, the damage was done. The worst part of this whole situation is the camp leadership admitted my daughter (and others) were on the receiving end of "mean girl" behavior for their week at camp but those campers causing the issues stayed at camp. If you are looking for someone to babysit your kid for a week - by all means go. If you are looking for a fun camp experience with camp to counselor ratios that allow the counselor to truly connect with the camper (not complain about the camp food our the camp itself), look further. Also, if your expectation is that your child is asked before outright accused, or asked about a situation in a disclosed location, look further. This camp takes reports that other kids state seriously without looking into them first. I am very hopeful this team learned a lot this week through mishandeling our situation. My daughter and I did and my biggest opportunity for learning is that I will NEVER entrust this camp with my children again. I will also take the time to meet the counselor ahead of time and ensure that he/she is capable of caring for child in a way that meets my expectations. I did my homework, I read a lot of reviews, I saw all of the good things about Rockfish (I even attended here as a kid), I emailed with questions ahead of time, but this was a very poor experience that will leave a lasting impression on us for quite a while. I appreciate Jim extending an apology to my daughter and I hope the leaders involved in this situation will do the same.
Nicholas Boykin: a camp counselor feed 4 kids red bull, didn't give them wings: ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Anna Vaillancourt: My daughter has gone all summer to the day camp. She begs to go back on the weekends because she loves it so much. They spend the day outdoors, hiking, exploring and playing. They also go to the pool and river which is perfect for the summer heat. The whole staff is so sweet and amazing with the kids. I couldn't recommend this enough. I love that there is this "getaway" so close to home where you can enjoy the outdoors.
G W: This camp is absolutely fantastic and it’s run very well. I’ve been very happy with previous years. However, the mosquitos are intense, and my kiddos comes back with hundreds of bites despite bug bands, spray and long sleeves.
Richard Bruton: My boy just love going to your camp and having fun and playing with the kids.
Corey Reeder: Great place for family events, ministry events, and kids camp experiences.I’m a chaplain at Bragg and recently held two events at Rockfish (March 2021), a date night and a spiritual fitness event. Wow. It was a great venue. The staff is so flexible and helpful too. I highly recommend it.
Moose Horvath: Its surprising how 12 miles from downtown Fayetteville is a sanctuary from the world. A must visit for youth groups, churches, or community groups for team building, relaxation, or a good place from the normal to meet and relax. The pool is amazing 👏.
Jake Mace: My son loves everything about camp but we wish you would add atleast a week of day camp for high schoolers
Jasmine Sandy: My kids lost there iphone11 pro max because the people took em
Tim Brown: Had my son's 6th birthday party there and it was affordable and the best birthday party experience. The counselors really made the experience fun. Their energy and professionalism was first class. The kids had the whole camp to themselves and got to play for several hours on the playground, a hayride, cooking hotdogs and smores on a campfire built by the counselors. The hayride was awesome and Ruben kept the kids entertained with repeat after me songs as we toured the campgrounds. Highly recommended over the other birthday options in the area.
Tonya Bracy: Other than the rain, it's a great place to learn about nature and Christ.
Jason Goode: Great place for kids.
Karen Gonzalez Crispin: This place is absolutely amazing for retreats! They have speakers and equipment ready for you to use. I stayed here for a Lillian's List training and the staff was incredible and friendly! Sonya in the kitchen is AMAZING.
Michael Carrigan: Wonderful atmosphere. Great staff. Christian operated.loads of fun. lots of activities. We stayed there while attending Pilgrimage my 14 year old wants to go back for summer camp. Cabins hold like 8 people. We had heat. Bathroom situation was not ideal, unless you've lived in a dorm. Nevertheless it was workable. Lots and lots of people there for Pilgrimage. Just can't say enough about the positives at camp rockfish!
Helen Chisolm: Just started a new job there ...excellent staff !!

Truett Canady: Nice disc golf course. A few nice holes, some tough, most easy pars.
Wesley Forman: A little sketchy there are some I would say homeless groups of people using facilities fishing docks and the grills not to say they are dangerous but don't take your kids here if you want to feel safe. There are unknowns roaming about and although it is a public area I'm sure you can disappear in these woods. Went to look at the lake and smell of completely like weed so yeah I would skip this place.

Smith Lake Recreation Area: what do users think?
K S: Very nice and quiet campground. We stayed in an RV site for the week while visiting family. One of the cleanest and most secure bath houses I've seen. Each room had a pad lock, toilet, sink, and shower.
April Tricialen Bui: The MWR sponsored aquatic area was AMAZING! It's like those movies where they have kids running around all on water obstacles courses, watched people swim, kayak and paddle board and also watch some water ski! Never been to a lake with all those amenities so close to each other before.The only thing, that is obviously a personal problem, is not knowing what is exactly under the water since it is pretty murky and red looking.Overall, a great place with all the lifeguards watching the water and a gated area made me feel really at ease letting my kids run around the beach.We stayed from open until the aquatic park had its last call for playing!
Anna Fox: Is the beach part open on mondays?
RCTP08: This was an event of a lifetime for my family!!! We had an amazing time and the venue was great!!!!
Jackie Killian: We stay at the Smith Lake campground a few times a year when in the Fayetteville area and it is one of our favorite campgrounds. The shower facilities (if needed) are clean and well maintained, the laundry is OK, and we love walking our dog around the area. There are quite a few channels available over air, but they do suffer from interference from the helos that fly overhead. If you've lived on a base with jets the sound from the helicopters probably won't bother you. The only thing we don't love about Smith Lake is that there is no wi-fi. Even if it was a separate amenity that had to be purchased separately it would be nice if it was available for those who need it for work/school.
john holden: This place blows. Never again.
Tino Medina: The disc golf course is pretty new. The signs are great and easily read. They did a great job at cutting and mulching through the fairways. There's some areas you want to make sure you stay in the fairway. Otherwise you're going to deal with briars. The mandos make sense and are clearly marked throughout the course. A gold level course so not for your beginners or family weekend players just out having fun. This course is designed specifically for experienced players and distance throwers. The wind was definitely a factor today and I have been told it seems to always be windy coming off the lake. There was a fairway that had a bench sitting next to the basket which made zero sense. There needs to be benches by the tees. The course was very fun and had a mixture of open and a few wooded holes. Was really cool to have Blackhawk helicopters flying above from time to time. Some low lying areas may become muddy after a strong rain, but today that was not a problem. Also, as a bonus got to see a pretty cool fox squirrel. I like the course and will be back to play more.
Julio Gonzales: Nice place to stay but limited RV site with indivdual dump, and difficult to for staff to reserve sites due to their reservation system.
Maria Toledo: Good for family
Russell Schwarz: Great place. Soon to have a new disc golf course Sometime in early 2023.
Izzy Street: We love come here! It’s always so so clean
H Armstrong: Highly recommend renting from this location. The staff was very informative and helpful. Matt was attentive our needs to make our event the best. Upon return, the equipment return process was quick. Thank you!!!!
Michael Furrell: Wow . This place is great. Kids loved it. Would definitely, plan something here in the future.
Billy Orr: Was a enjoyable time. Stayed for 5 nights. Price was good at $23 a night. Not bad with helo noise(the sound of freedom). Stayed in site 10 only problem was the concrete man followed the plumbers rule heavy for grade. 9” difference from front to back and side of slab. But would stay again just in a different site.
Trenessa Roberson: Nice, clean, fun, I want to go back one day
Mark Mettler (MPRanger or Newmarch): Great place to stay.
Rose L: In a cabin as I type this at 3:00am. Primitive cabins are quaint and exactly what you expect when staff explains the features, large comfy bed and AC unit. Except, AC cannot be adjusted down whatsoever which left me and my mom feeling muggy. Rain + heat makes the cabin and air very humid really hard to fall asleep. Lake is disgusting. No idea if the orange/brown contents of the lake are harmful or not but it dried into a sticky orange film all over my body. Went to wash off in the showers to find that the shower washes you WITH lake water which just got me even more dirty. Lifeguards are very honest about finding the lake gross and not wanting to swim themselves (recreationally of course). Hiking trails were a painfully long walk from the main building that guided us there, for us to not even be able to figure out where the trail began or ended. We were told there would be markers because mating season means more active wildlife, but it was hard to determine what was or wasnt a barrier, or where we were supposed to detour. We gave up eventually, and walked all the way back.
A M: Very disappointed! As a Disabled Veteran who would think that you and your family would be treated so poorly at a MWR establishment, by the Branch Manager James Day. After arriving to the park at approximately 1500 hrs. I purchased the $15 All Day waterpark pass for my kids. (This is what the paper stated at the desk). I also asked when do you close I was told 1800 hrs. My child went immediately down to sign paper to go on waterpark that's when we found out they would not be able to go until 1550 hrs. So after doing one obstacle on waterpark my son went back to sign paper to go again at 1630hrs and was told they close at 1630 hrs . Even though nothing stated this at front desk and I asked and was told 1800hrs. So I asked to speak to who was in charge and spoke with Branch Manager James Day. He was very rude with me from the moment I spoke to him. When I told him what happened the first thing he said was " but did they get to go on waterpark"? Shrugged his shoulders and said well. Like it was nothing he could do. He didn't care they had not posted the closing hrs, that they did not let me know that they would only be able to go once even the the paper said all day and the park closes at 1800 hrs. He told he was the one in the with a smirk and did not apologize did not care at all. As a Disabled Veteran I was disgusted to realize this was the Branch Manager that was so incompassionate and rude. After my family and I were misguided and told one thi.g and found out something different a
Kyle Thomas: This MWR run facility is doing a fantastic job providing and maintaining outdoor recreational equipment and facilities. The trails are a bit sandy and soft in places but, I believe that the sandy bits add to the difficulty in a good way most times. Sometimes it makes you wish you had slowed down before that techey section but, overall not bad. Bikes are in excellent condition and, I can't wait to come back for some canoe fishing.😁
Justin: Oki and Josh are the real MVPs. Great customer service and great personalities. I will be coming back.
Destiny Durham: Great place for basketball
