What the venue publishes

NC State Parks published rates: 'Community buildings ... Falls Lake State Recreation Area - Rolling View access ... $198' daily rental. Weddings also require a Special Activity Permit: $70 for a 'non-corporate event with attendance of 60 people or less', $130 if more than 60 attend. $198 + $70 = $268; $198 + $130 = $328.

The source publishes a range of $268 to $328, so which end applies depends on the options the source lists.

A per-vehicle seasonal parking fee is charged to every attendee, host and vendor on weekends and holidays in April, May and September and daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
