About Curtis Creek Campground (NC)

Curtis Creek Campground is nestled in the mountains at the base of the Blue Ridge just minutes from the quaint town of Old Fort and less than an hour from the popular city of Asheville. Located in the first tract of National Forest land in the eastern US at the site of an old Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) camp, the campground is surrounded by old growth forests and roaring trout streams. The gravel road through the campground ascends to the Blue Ridge Parkway, providing easy access to the Mount Mitchell area.

Number of accommodations: 24

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.

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!
