Wonderful campground with hiking and an amazing creek. Kiln firewood isn't available nearby so stop a few stops back before arriving.

I decided to try this campground after reviewing the location and ease of getting to hiking trials within walking distance. Great hiking for the camp site! The tent sites are more secluded than the RV sites, I use my camper shell as my shelter, but the campground was only 25% filled (mid-April Week day) during the 2 days I was there. No issues with the bathroom, it was clean and well stocked. Don't expect any frills at this campground, but if you want a to get away into the woods its worth the 10 miles off I-40. I plan to go back and use this campground as a home base to discover hiking around Black Mountain & Montreat NC.

We loved it so much we planned 4 more trips within the next 3 months! The camp host was very nice, the site was clean and we had no issues.

We absolutely LOVED Curtis Creek! Sites 13 and 14 gave us lots of privacy, prime access to the beautiful creek, and close proximity to water and toilet facilities. The vault toilets were cleaner than most public restrooms. We didn't catch any fish, but had a great time splashing around in the freezing cold water. We had a really fantastic stay!

Nice size sites that were level. Campground was clean, quiet and has a trout stream. Couldn't ask for more!

Camped in our 17' TT. Campground appears to have been recently paved. Water at the campground. No water or electric at individual campsites. Wish we had more time to explore the area. Gravel road into campground from town. In good shape. Couple one lane bridges. We were small and had no problems. Pit toilets and no bath houses. $12 per night. Host on site. Would camp here again. Just be ready to listen to generators running. Quiet hours from 10pm to 6am.
