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

Many campers appreciated the updates made after Hurricane Helene, such as new tent pads, fire pits, and improved facilities.

This is not a good spot for rvs over 20 feet, as the road is narrow a dirt for
several miles . Also there is no power or water at sites no shower house bathroom is a glorified porta potty, only water is a spigot outside of toilet. Great for tent camping

This is a beautiful place with trailheads. Plan to stay more than 1 night so you can hike the trails on site! As you're driving in on the gravel road, Curtis Creek Rd., you kind of feel like you're not in the right place. After passing private residences, you will make it to the camp eventually!

The campground was more spread out than others which I really liked. The walk in tent sites were pretty private which was great! There is not cell reception and the bathrooms are well maintained vault toilet, but that is the reason for my very good vs excellent review. I would highly recommend!

Excellent experience except for the smell of the bathroom when the wind was blowing our way. Next time we will pick a site away from the bathroom.

We love Curtis Creek Campground. We have gone there many times. We prefer the sites that are not in the loop campground and are directly on creek. The Campground Hosts are so nice and do a great job. You have to be able to tolerate pit toilets, no electricity and no cell or internet. service.

We loved the remoteness of Curtis Creek Campground, while having the cutest town of Old Fort, NC just down the road. The campground host was kind and welcoming. We truly enjoyed our experience!

One of my new favorite places to camp. Lots to do in area, or you can just lay in the creek. Vault toilets and sites were very clean.
