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.

We are newbies to RV camping; this is one of only 5 campgrounds we have stayed at. This was NOT a fun experience. We arrived after dark and the road in from the south was harrowing….terrible ruts and potholes that made me worry about bottoming out the generator of my camper van. I cannot imagine how larger vehicles got in. The site itself was flat and required no leveling, and it was quiet at night. I did not brave the pit toilets but my 10 year of son said, “That was the second worst pooping experience of my entire life” and said it was filthy inside. Knowing the road from the South was awful, we headed north toward the Blue Ridge Parkway. That wasn’t nearly as potholed or rutted as the south, but the grades were steep, the dirt road was muddy, and it was harrowing.

Did we have fun? Absolutely. We’re the facilities clean? Yes, more than most places we have been. Did we fell safe? Um, mostly. The camp host left after our first night there. It was after Christmas but the campground doesn’t close until January 3rd. We choose this campground because it was our first cold weather tent camping and having a camp host made us feel more comfortable and safe. But then they left. We still finished our trip despite being completely alone except for one interesting fellow camper each night (each night a different one). But we were also the weirdos tent camping in the teens and 20s so… we’d do it again.

Awesome campground! Super clean and tidy. The campground is pretty tucked back and secluded but I wish the sites themselves were more spread out. Fresh drinking water and vault toilets added some comfort.

Beautiful location, clean camp. A little confusion upon arrival due to tagpost not updated but worked out fine.

Me and my fiancé decided to camp for the first time together and we choose to get number five and it was a great experience, now we are thinking to go back there.

The only issue we had was the noise from other campers gear but overall great experience. It was very beautiful and had a creek that made its sounds to lull us to sleep.
