Curtis Creek Campground in NC -- Campground & RV Camping

Located at 2,000 feet at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Curtis Creek Campground sits along a cold mountain trout stream in a rich hardwood forest. The facility spans 25 campsites across three distinct loops: an accessible loop for RVs up to 35 feet, a grassy tent-only loop, and a series of secluded, roadside tent sites. Each site provides a table, tent pad, lantern post, and fire ring, supported by vault toilets, hand pumps for drinking water, and bear-proof trash receptacles. On-site trailheads lead to mountain waterfalls and old-growth backcountry areas.
