This was my first time using this app and first time going camping in a long time, and I will be coming back. Curtis was more than accommodating for us and was very kind. Absolute gem of a person and a great site!

Most genuine man you’ll meet loved every minute of the stay and he was always helpful. This was my second time back to his campsite which I don’t do very often but he’s got a beautiful spot secluded from everyone and the spaces are all very spread so you won’t feel like ur camping with ur neighbors the whole time. Absolutely recommend if you’re lookin for a nice quiet time in the woods

Warm and dry Curtis was a great host! I was prepared to car/tent camp in 20° nights, but wasn’t prepared for the rain. He offered an upgrade to one of his RV rentals. Thankful to have heat and all the comforts of home. I was by a lovely, peaceful stream.

Curtis was a great guy. Very interesting fellow if you talk to him for a bit! His land was well kept and secluded. Campsites are spread out throughout his property. He also has a few trails around it! Perfect spot as far as location to get around. Can go further into NC (under an hour from Grandfather mt.) Or right down the road to TN! He has a few local spots close by that are amazing for hiking. Though be warned his favorite is not for the faint of heart! 🤣. Personally loved it though!

Great experience Curtis was a great host and very knowledgeable about the surrounding land and other hikes close to his property. The campsite was very well maintained and perfect in every way. I would definitely come back here again. Beautiful scenery and a gorgeous sunrise view over the mountains. Pet friendly and lots of wildlife around. Perfect camp site!

A perfect late fall weekend. Curtis is always an attentive host without intruding on privacy. The property is well maintained with thoughtful features that enhance the rustic camping experience. Curtis even created a new path on site 8 that makes it easier to get around on the property. Much appreciated. I will be back!

Quiet place by blue ridge parkway Loved this place! and the host was very nice upon my arrival. You could tell he goes out of his way to keep the place nice and create a good experience for his guests. The restroom was clean. And the shower? As far as outdoor showers go it was really cool and unique. Hes very crafty for making that the way he did. Also a small trail to check out if you feel like stretching your legs a bit. The road to the camp was paved except for a small portion I think was dirt, but I didnt have any issues on my large touring motorcycle with fairly low clearance.

Super beautiful and secluded location. Great place to camp if you’re trynna get away from the city and enjoy some mountain fresh air and weather. The shower was warm, there was plenty of space for a tent, and the scenery was great. Curtis was also very nice and helpful. Hope to stay again!

Curtis provided extremely helpful directions for finding this location as well as the best ways to maneuver your camper upon arrival. He was very available and answered/responded quickly. We didn't have a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter and he luckily had one for us to borrow during our stay! He had great knowledge about the local area, and gave directions to a waterfall hike not far from his site. The fish in his pond are super cool to go see, and if you're lucky you'll spot an otter early in the morning!

Site 3 Meadow View
Site has great view of the valley; and the nearest campsite is 50+ yards away and hard to see. It's shady from a big tree, but not many trees, so not great for tying up stuff if you need that. The host is great. Firewood was dry and burned, and he checked on us briefly each night to make sure we had what we needed. And he guided us to an amazing waterfall nearby that is not known much to public.

10/10 would highly recommend! 10/10 would recommend. Curtis was a fantastic host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay on his property. Site 10 was nice and private although if you have neighbors their fire pit will overlook your site. It didn’t bother us and we thought it provided ample enough privacy. The grounds are beautiful and the area is spectacular. I highly recommend talking to Curtis about the history of the property and any suggestions he has to hikes or places to visit. It does help do download offline maps for navigation for the surrounding area. Curtis has great WiFi, but we did not have service anywhere else nearby. We can’t wait to come back and book again!

Adventures of Curtisland We loved camping on this property! The RV was so incredibly cozy and had all the amenities that we needed. We enjoyed having such a vast and beautiful piece of land at our fingertips. We just wish we had more time to feed the fish! Curtis went out of his way to make us feel at home and told us of all the activities that were around the area. Even if you don’t go outside of the property to sightsee, you’ll have plenty of exploring to do on this expansive landscape. Shoutout to Curtis who made us smile!

Peaceful and beautiful! Curtis was waiting for us in his golf cart and escorted us to our camp site. He had our fire wood in his cart and dropped it off while explaining the camp ground and how things work. Site 7 sits in between 2 stands of trees and provides a lot of privacy with easy access for our sprinter Van. As you know the facilities are primitive but the peace and quiet and friendliness of Curtis make this a beautiful mountain retreat.

Great Space With A Great Host! First of all Cirtis was a great host who showed us to our site and gave us great directions to hike and where to explore around the area. Had a great stay and was blown away at the layout and systems in place to make camping a good time. Shower with water that gets warm and a sink to brush your teeth but it’s big enough that you can get in and change and move around. There was a porta potty that was clean. Site had a campfire but I used my own. Paid for some wood that burned great. Got to explore nearby and will defiantly be back again.

Thanks Curtis! Will be back. It’s a long and windy road to get to this site, but it’s worth it. Lots of space between the campsites on a big open meadow surrounded by forest. Curtis has done a great job making each site private and also provides good amenities. The warm shower was great after long run up Grandfather mountain.

Minutes from Waterfalls & Swimming This location is absolutely stunning! All the sites are a good distance away from each other without being far from everything. Our site had a lot of tree coverage so we did not worry about the sun heating our tent in the morning. I love that there were different types of sites, some were secluded in their own driveways and others were in the meadow where you could look up and see the mountains and stars. Curtis was so nice and gave us a lot of information about the area. He gave us detailed instructions on how to get to the close-by waterfall (8 mins away and so pretty). The showers was one of my favorite parts of this site. It is filtered spring water and the floor of the shower a rock slab. I could not have asked for a better camping trip for Labor Day weekend

This campground is truly one of a kind! The descriptions of the sites are quite helpful and I do think there's a good one for every camper. Having it be Adults Only was a nice touch - we appreciated the break! Curtis was very friendly and helpful whenever needed. The only (relative) downside was trying to get the hot water on in the shower... I'm sure he could have helped us if we had let him know we struggled but we decided to enjoy our cold plunge shower instead. 🙂 Overall: Highly Recommend.

Heaven on Earth Well we found our piece of heaven here at Curtis’s land. So quiet and peaceful and our 2 year old Boxer gives it 4 paws up. We are already planning to come back to stay longer. Curtis has mindfully created this camp with lots of space and sweet amenities to satisfy all. Nanda, his co-host was very helpful in learning about the surrounding area. Curtis’s NASA background showed in the genius outdoor shower he created. Can’t wait to come back! Debra, Henry and Coco Belle

A few nights in site #7 Spent 3 nights on Curtis’ property. Our first night was in site 11 but we asked Curtis if we could move to site 7 for the next two nights. He was happy to accommodate as it was open. Lovely site with shade but right next to the meadow which is very pretty. Site 7 is fairly close to the outhouse, shower and water.

Great quiet, shady, and out of the way spot, that is only 8 miles to Beech Mountains parking lot. Really gorgeous area, and the sites are spread enough to provide some privacy. Shower is fed by super soft spring water. Curtis seemed to be a really nice person. We had a pretty good thunderstorm (60 mph wind gusts) one day while there, and he came around making sure everyone was okay afterwards. He also brought our firewood right to our camp site.

Curtis was such a joy to speak with and his land is a wonderful piece of property in a beautiful part of the mountains. The site was right next to a stream (the sound if rushing water was perfect!) and the table, grills, and fire pit was a great added touch. Our RV neighbors were friendly as well and their pups were an extra treat! Thanks so much for the waterfall recommendation, Curtis! It was one of the highlights of the trip! PS: The shower was SO GOOD! Thank you!

Loved it! Dark Ridge Hideout was just that... a hideout. A nice secluded spot on Beech Mountain. Very close to the resort (skiing and downhill mountain biking). Curtis was attentive and accommodating. He has lived on this land all of his life and was able to give us detailed suggestions on activities. Compression Falls is close... a very difficult hike to get down to it, but I highly recommend going. We will be back!

I loved staying on Curtis’s land! He met me on arrival, and showed me to my site, and pointed out the bathroom and shower. This site was at the top of the hill so it was a lovely view. The frogs near the pond were a little loud but it wasn’t too bad. The porta-porty was clean. I will definitely stay here again!

Great peaceful campsite This is our 4th time in less then a year camping at this location. For starts, Curtis always stays in touch once a reservation is made and meets and greets you at your location. He shows us everything we need to know about our site, which has always been one of the rental RV's on his property and is very thorough of all the inclusive. On this particular RV he had 3 tv's of which one was located outside and can be watched outdoors. We were very comfortable the entire time with both ac and heat functioning for the evening hours. Since this is our 4th time, we now know that all we need are clothes, food and drinks. Everything else is provided. Curtis is such a charmed southern gentleman that we have had nothing but great experiences in his campground. Beech Mountain is only 8 miles away, Banner Elk is 8 miles and Boone is only 22 miles away. Yet his location is in such a beautiful scenic area that we always enjoy the ride with the windows down. Thanks Curtis, as always for such an enjoyable stay at your campsite.

5 Stars—or More! Our first time using HipCamp. Curtis’ place is so beautiful and so well maintained. But what will make us return is Curtis himself. He worked so hard to ensure we had everything we needed and thought we had reserved. And then when we had mechanical issues with our brand new camper he was so incredibly helpful and fair. You’d be hard pressed to meet a nicer person. Highly recommend either the full hook up or tent sites.

Site 10/10 Curtis was excellent at communication for directions to the site. I would highly recommend visiting and enjoying some real peace and quiet. Site 10 is right next to a small creek that runs between two hillsides that provides plenty of privacy. A small wooden foot bridge joins the parking area to the site. The site itself is very large and could accommodate larger groups. A charcoal grill and fire pit have been provided. Along with a stone fire pit near the creek.

Peaceful hipcamp in the mountains We were welcomed right away by Curtis, he is very genuine and informative about the area. We needed to rest for two days, and we did just that. We spent the time hiking with our dog and just enjoying the area. I would recommend this to anyone. Easy in and out hook ups. Beautiful peaceful stream and fish ponds. He supplied food to feed the fish, in the pond and that was awesome.

Hidden Gem This place is a dream! We stayed for 6 weeks and we loved every minute. We booked right when the leaves were changing colors and it was so beautiful! The property is stunning! Curtis has several tent camping spots and several RV spots, all with amazing views, privacy, and fire pits (and most of grills too). Our RV spot was right next to a small babbling brook that just really set the vibe 🙂 And there is a small well-marked trail on the property that we would take the dogs on everyday. The location is perfect - you're 25 minutes from a grocery store in Banner Elk and about 40 minutes from Boone. There is also a small general store with pizza and other snacks about 10 minutes away. And the best part you're so close to amazing trailheads– our favorite was Compression Falls. Really strong Wifi, I work remotely and use Teams all day and had no issues. Curtis was an amazing host - great conversation and great recommendations. I felt safe and knew I could call Curtis if I needed anything. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a little piece and quite in the mountains! I can't wait to come back next year!

Winnebago Coach at The Hide-Out
Camper was clean, warm, and dry. Curtis was very helpful with tips about waterfalls in the area.

Solo Getaway Beautiful area, I had site number five all the way at the top of the property. CURTIS is a great guy, you can tell he loves what he’s doing. Extremely clean bathroom and shower house was a plus. It was a clear night and I saw all the stars. Be sure to check out his two ponds full of fish, you can also feed them, very cool. If you’ve been thinking of staying here go ahead and pull the trigger, it’s beautiful. With all that being said, I’ll be back

great spot My boyfriend and I spent one night here for a weekend getaway and we’re really pleased with everything. Curtis was super friendly and suggested a lot of places to check out. As for the site itself was comfy, bathroom and shower were really clean and easy to access.Would definitely stay here again!

Solo camper Such a great spot! Curtis is great at giving detailed directions. Due to the lack of service in the are they are very helpful. Also a very safe environment for those of us who enjoy camping alone.

Peaceful Overall we had a great experience at a peaceful site along a small beautiful stream. Unfortunately, the shower situation was not working well. After the first day we notified Curtis who responded quickly and someone had messed with the shower settings and it was fixed, however it was just as bad the next morning. The water temp had two settings, either ice cold or scalding hot, neither of which we could stand under, and the water pressure was mostly just trickling. We hike a lot during our camping trips and a good working shower is a necessity for us so unfortunately this was a problem. The shower area does have a sink and mirror which was nice. Other than the shower, the site was great, great communication, easy access to site.
