JimBob ~ a place you might consider is the Standing Indian NFS C/G just west of Franklin, NC. This is a Nantahala Nat'l Forest C/G, five sections to it, some sites right next to the river and some next to Kimsey Creek which empties into the "Nan" right in the heart of the C/G. There's a wide variety of camp sites ranging from those favorable to large RV rigs to remote sites the big rigs cannot get to. Water spigots every so many sites, plus flush toilets and hot showers - no electrical hook-ups. Once again, the Nantahala River runs right through the C/G ... there's rainbow & browns ... further up river above the falls there's brookies. AND, a section the A.Trail is right next to the C/G - plus other hiking trails galore.
