Rollways Campground and Day Use Area
Rollways Campground was built in 1909 and was one of the first campgrounds established on the Huron. The pull-through campsites accommodate large motor homes and trailers.
The day use area is adjacent to the Rollways Campground. A short, .5 hour walk between the day use site and Westgate Scenic Overlook provides visitors with access to the campground.
