At the turn of the century visitors flocked to the area. They drank mineral water from local springs to cure their ills and they took riverboat excursions to the cliffs. Things have changed since then. Mineral water now comes in bottles and isn't likely to cure anything at all, and riverboats have given way to more modern modes of transportation. The cliffs, however, remain virtually unaltered, standing as a journal of the geological and biological history of the land. Set up tent or trailer on one of 35 sites, each with its own picnic table and grill. The family campground at Cliffs of the Neuse is located in a wooded area near the park office. The banks of the Neuse River provide scenic spots to fish. The river and its tributaries are home to bluegill, largemouth bass and several species of catfish. In the spring, white and hickory shad migrate up the river. The shade of huge pine trees offers just the place for outdoor dining. Located near the lake, the picnic area has approximately 30 picnic tables and 10 grills. Drinking water and restrooms are located nearby.
