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.

Curtis Creek is a great campground with very good hiking within yards of the campsites, large, mostly flat creek-side campsites and decent infrastructure that was kept clean while we camped there. Curtis Creek and branches running to and from around the campground provide gorgeous, peaceful natural surroundings- some of the best in the area. The hike along Hickory Branch in particular is excellent, with multiple waterfalls- some small, some large- all beautiful.

2nd trip in a year, quiet and peaceful especially if you are near the creek. Short drive into Old Fort, Black Mountain, or even Asheville.

The site was a little difficult to find, but once there, was well worth it. The creek was absolutely gorgeous and the staff was more than pleasant. If you look to "live off-the-grid" this place is it!!! We only stayed one night, but would definitely stay again.

Curtis Creek was the exact camping spot we needed! Remote, no cell service, clean and quiet! We absolutely loved it. We booked #13 to be away from the road and cars, it was amazing! Snooks Nose trail is right across from the campground as well, if you enjoy very steep hikes ;)! We will be back

My harchback tent filled with water due to downpours, my attached awning to my rails and crossbars broke during a storm, slapping the side of my minivan, and my sun shelter had its fiberglass rod on one side absolutely shredded, no cell phone service at all. Site hosts did not stay on site very much, but they were kind. I had to return to Greenville, NC because of malfunctions but did come back before the end of the stay, traumatized by it.

We have enjoyed coming to this campground a couple of times a year. we have a need to be adjacent to the disabled spot and have always been able to secure it. The previous hosts were always charming and very helpful any time we needed assistance. Since our travel trailer is 33 ft long, it had always been a little bit of a challenge getting located on the site because it was tricky dealing with the rocks placed along the grass area. Last year, the host moved some of the rocks and guided us in with much less difficulty.

At our visit last weekend, were delighted to see the rocks had been removed -- and getting the trailer on site was a piece of cake. A big thank you to whoever moved the rocks. I do need to add that the current Hosts were also very nice and very welcoming.
