Curtis Creek Campground (NC)

This site used to be site 3. This would be a good site, but it has no view or access to Creek. After Hurricane there are many downed trees between site and the creek. The Pit Toilet is on this site . There is now a little bridge between Site 1 and Site 2. People camping on 1 will cross that bridge and walk within a few feet of your tent to get to bathroom. The Hosts are great and they keep everything tidy. However the smell from Pit toilet can be noticeable at times. I would not camp on this site again

Nice and cool up there. Campgrounds were very clean and so were the restrooms. Great stay. The camp-host was very nice as well.

The campground is very nice and kept clean. The vault toilets were very clean. The creek is right there to enjoy and hear if you pick the right site. I stayed one night but would come stay again for sure.

Such an awesome campsite! The walk in sites are a bit of a trek, but well worth it for the privacy and creek access. The camp hosts were also top tier. They allowed us to switch sites when we noticed site 14 was empty had more space and natural sunlight (though 13 would've been great too). The campground is extremely clean and updated and my husband loved how level the site was. There is no cell service for Verizon, but we like it that way. My only recommendation would be to bring a car that has higher clearance as the road driving in is a little rough.

All the sites have been rebuilt with fresh pads, tables and firepits. Nice work!

Site 15 was great! Campground hosts were very friendly and helpful!

Campground was very clean. Host was respectful and attentive. Can't wait to camp there again.

I loved this campground. I chose the site at the very back and it was the most private, though I was the only one in the back section of the campground for the night. My site was right next to the bathrooms (slight odor with the wind but closing the doors helped when I was physically at the site). This site was also right next to the new trailhead for Hickory Branch Falls Trail. I didn't make it to the falls (maybe 20 min in it seemed like a Helene landslide had interrupted the directions I'd downloaded) but found a beautiful mini falls area with a small swimming hole for an evening dip. Heard wood thrush and the rhododendrons were blooming. Trail was super quiet, I didn't see a soul. Perfect spot to clear my head, watch fireflies, and read Mary Oliver poems. I plan to return.

Repairs after Helene are excellent! The host was helpful.
The group from McDowell Comm College was fun to watch, working tirelessly through some storms, continuing to improve the trails!

We found the trail descriptions very helpful.

Stayed for the first time since the campground was closed due to hurricane helene. All of the updates are great! Still a wonderful campground experience and the host/manager is super friendly and welcoming! All of the campsites are updated with new tent pads, fire pits and even offer hooks for hammocks! Still one of our favorite camping getaways and highly recommend it!

Very well maintained campground. Not large which made it nice especially at night so you didn’t hear your neighbors where we stayed. Great access to trails on site, a couple of choices on difficulty. No cell service so great way to disconnect.
