Hurricane Creek Camp

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Hurricane Creek Camp, near the National Forests in North Carolina, is a fantastic spot for those who crave a bit of adventure. This place is all about the great outdoors, with a beautiful river nearby that offers a perfect backdrop for your camping experience.

The camp is known for its remote feel, making it a favorite among those who enjoy a little seclusion. Visitors have mentioned that a high-clearance 4x4 is a must to navigate the rocky paths, but the journey is worth it. As one camper put it, “What you bring is what you’ll have,” so come prepared for a true backcountry experience.

You can pitch your tent or park your RV here, but don’t expect a lot of frills. There are no electric hookups or showers, which means you’ll be roughing it a bit. However, the campfire vibes and the sound of the river make up for it. Campers have enjoyed washing dishes and even bathing in the river, appreciating the soothing sounds that drown out any nearby highway noise.

For those looking to explore, the surrounding area is perfect for hiking and off-roading. The tight spots and rocky terrain provide a fun challenge for adventurous spirits. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway or a fun trip with friends, Hurricane Creek Camp offers a unique experience that’s hard to beat.

4x4 and some clearance a must.

I love this place. It really is remote. However I stopped at the spot right before the wider creek. Walked a long ways and never saw another spot.

Lots of rocks, creeks and tight spots to make for a fun time.

Hurricane Creek Camp

This spot is so perfect, it has a nice little river that runs near by the camp that you can wash dishes and bathe in with the perfect noise not to loud not to silent to hear the highway near this camp, recommend a offroad/camping rig, big enough spot for at least 5 people.
