About Curtis Creek Campground (NC)

The gravel road through the campground ascends to the Blue Ridge Parkway, providing easy access to the Mount Mitchell area.

Love this spot! Cheaper than most campgrounds in the area, camping along the creek, short hike to a couple waterfalls. Everyone was very friendly and bathroom area was maintained well. Nice to hear the rush of the creek as you fall asleep. Would come here again!

Clean bathrooms and sites well spaced. The extra bonus was the sound of the river nearby.

The sites were clearly marked and very tidy. The crushed pea gravel was a nice touch.
Spacing between each site is very generous. I met a few people who were underprepared and did not bring firewood nor a means to cut some from fallen limbs and trees. Be sure to brin* some wood or a bow saw to cut some from along the roadside. I’ll definitely come back!

The views, area and amenities are great. Neighbors during the last night of stay not so much, but not a fault of the campsite

Camp sites are very clean, bathrooms were clean and had TP. Host was very friendly and helpful. Great camp ground for getting away for the weekend and hanging with friends.

Great campsite! The camp host and trailer hookups are 4.8 miles north of Hwy 70. Last 2.5 miles are gravel road with 2 short single-vehicle bridges. Tent campsite #1 (first come first serve) is at 4.3 miles from Hwy 70. Campsites 12-14 (reserved): #12 is a short 50 yards from your parking spot. #13 & #14 are 25 yards further and next to the creek.
