There's a small quaint little campground a mile of Hwy 19 by the Nantahal
Outdoor Center just outside Bryson City we've used in the past, but the road
is narrow in there.  Forget the name, but the road is just off the NOC drag.
Silver Creek or Silvermines campground, something like that.  This may  be
too far from the Asheville area, but the side trip would be worth it. Friend
of mine is the Pres. of NOC these days.  If you go by there, you have to go
up the hill to Relia's Garden Restaurant, pricey, but casual.  Appalachian
Trail crosses there so you can hike a mile or 4 or 5 of it if you need some
excercise.
