Curtis Creek Campground in the Grandfather Ranger District offers 24 campsites (15 tent-only, 9 RV-friendly up to 35 feet) at $10/night, situated along Curtis Creek at 2,000 feet elevation with direct access to two Forest Service trails including Hickory Branch Trail to waterfalls.

The campground features vault toilets, drinking water, and bear-proof trash receptacles, with a campground host on-site during the April-December operating season; note that Curtis Creek Road is gravel and narrow, making it unsuitable for large RVs, and there is no cell service.
