Curtis Creek Campground

About this site

Curtis Creek Campground occupies a historic location in Pisgah National Forest, situated on the first tract of National Forest land acquired in the eastern United States. Set at 2,000 feet elevation in rich mountain hardwood forests, the campground features 25 sites distributed across three loops, each offering a different camping experience. One fully accessible, barrier-free loop accommodates RVs up to 35 feet, while a second loop provides dispersed tent-only roadside sites for a secluded forest experience, and a third loop features tent sites in an open grassy area. Curtis Creek, running along the east side of the campground, is a popular trout stream surrounded by lush rhododendron and hemlock, offering excellent fishing for those with proper licenses. History enthusiasts can explore the remains of old Civilian Conservation Corps buildings scattered throughout the area, while hikers have direct access to two Forest Service trails. Each site includes a tent pad, picnic table, lantern post, and fire ring, with vault toilets, drinking water pumps, and bear-proof trash receptacles available. A campground host provides on-site assistance during the operating season. Additional Info: Operates April 1 through December 31. First-come, first-served. Self-service fee station. No alcohol allowed. One loop accessible for RVs up to 35 feet.
