Rollins lake is beautiful! My boyfriends parents own property 3 miles away, so we like to take our raft and spend the day cruising around the lake. The entrance we use is a little more remote than the others because its harder to find, but I do believe its the best part of the lake. Big pines line the lake all over, and the water looks very pristine. Not long ago, we went there for the first time and there was practically nobody in the lake, which made everything much more peaceful and enjoyable. I love this place, its my perfect little getaway, and its very close by.

Went camping w/ the boy scouts last weekend. It was great once I got over all the scouting activities. Having said that, it was very low key and enjoyable.
The camp was right next to Rollins Lake. A fairly decent oasis amidst the trees in Nevada county. Water was cold which was heaven sent since the outside temperature was averaging around 90. The sand bar was a great hangout place. We took an aluminum boat out to the "bar" which was the only mistake. Can you say "ouch." Aluminum and heat don't mix y'all.
Regardless, a good time was had by all. If you need to get away from the heat of SAC, go to this lake. -

I went camping here with a group of friends over July Fourth weekend. I like that this lake is a short drive from Sacramento, so it's an easy, quick getaway. While we had ample space in our group camping lot and the lake is fairly isolated, it really didn't feel like we were surrounded by nature. The neighbors blasted Kid Rock from their RV, others cruised around in circles on their golf carts all day long, and we were never more than a short walk away from the modern conveniences of the Outrigger restaurant, the "Party Box" (music and booze) and the lake's convenience store (which I guess could be considered a plus to some).
The huge HUGE drawback, and I don't really fault Rollins Lake for this other than their swimming area is so small, was that three in our group actually got sick (vomiting and diarrhea) from swimming in the water. We were not the only ones, as trips to the restroom at 3 a.m. were met with others also in the same predicament. I know the lake can't control who goes swimming in the lake or what those people DO while they're in the lake, but the thought of accidentally swallowing feces while trying to kick back in the water is NOT my idea of fun. -

Its pretty nice to see this lake. The nice thing about this lake is that you can camp around it. It doesn't seem to have lots of people here so you don't have to worry about crowds. I do like that they have a restaruant off the lake. Also, I like how you can see the entire lake as you drive by. Haven't fished here. Its an okay lake

I haven't been camping there in awhile, but they need to expand on their inside games and keep cleaner restrooms. It was nice camping near the lake. Fishing can go over well if you have the right equipment and expertise.
