Nice Parks on your 'local' list; we've stayed at many of them and always enjoyed our visits.
We're a couple of hours from the Outer Banks and frequently stay at the NPS Friso campground. Unlike Hunting Island, there aren't any sites right on the water and none of the big live oaks found there but its located within the dunes which is unusual for an OBX campground.
Our favorite mountain campground is Horse Cove in Nantahala National Forest. It has less than twenty sites but most are large, fairly private and located on a creek or brook.
