Paint Creek Campground

It's a campground with a picnic table and fire ring/grill. The host is nice and helpful and it's the best place to go if you have kids don't have to worry about drunks or idiots ruining your fun. The campground is flat and kinda in a circle so it's perfect for bikes or whatever there is a nice swimming hole and hiking trails available. Police patrol the area so it really makes you feel safe.

We drove about 35 miles to get there from marshal n.c and the sites were excellent size but our reservation was changed to 1 week later so we got there set up a new tent and the camp host comes by really nice man. But we had to repack all our stuff b4 new camper got there lol but its a really quiet camp at the end of a curvy and more curvy road we are going back maybe bcuz its supposed to be thunderstorm all weekend

We didn't camp, we just rode up the mountain, got out & fished a lil bit, then rode up some more, got out & fished a lil more, then got our feet wet in the beautiful crystal clear water, oh that's what made fishing so fun too cause you can see the fish chasing the bait..lol Saw some beautiful Butterflies, I'm not sure if they're Monarch's or not, but very beautiful..also there's a really pretty blue & black one to the left of the group... It's very peaceful, everyone is respectful towards eachother... especially when ya get into the places on the road where only one vehicle can pass at a time.. I highly recommend this place, they have multiple swimming holes, multiple picnic tables with grills, short walks to the water!❤️

Me and my family have grown up at Paint Creek . And camping at the camp ground. It’s a beautiful place to hike,swim,and cooking out with your family and fur babies.

We went up to have an old-fashioned afternoon splashing at the creek. The drive up for us was a little long, but since it goes through the National Forest, it was a beautifully scenic trip. It wasn't too crowded and the kids had a blast! While the drive is a little further than we typically go, we'll have to come back up this way before the end of summer. Definitely worth a visit!
