We are looking for a place where we can drive to a campsite, then pitch our tent. So many campsites either require you to backpack in your stuff, or they are just for you to park your RV.

Any ideas... our tent is fairly large.

Answer
I've camped on the Blue Ridge parkway, at the Smokies, at Mount Mitchell State Park, NC (you can camp at the top at the state park or there are private campgrounds below it), New River State Park, NC (there are drive in and canoe in sites), Stone Mountain State Park, NC, and I've wanted to camp at South Mountain State Park, NC.

In Hot Springs, NC the private campground is on the French Broad River, on the Appalachian Trail, has a great little town, and has hot tubs!

I've camped in NC in Nantahala National Forest , Linville Gorge, Roan Mountain, TN area, and wanted to camp in Mt Rogers, Joyce Kilmer and Shining Rock areas, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Have Fun!

Where are some good places to go camping in North Carolina?

I wanna go camping but I don't wanna go to a "campground" that feels like its a trailer park for tents.

Answer
Pisgah National Forest, Nantahala National Forest and there's Great Smoky Mountains National Park, these are my favorites anyway with lots of backpacking sites and very secluded in West North Carolina..............
