Western NC NFs -- Pisgah, Smoky Mts, Nantahala

Has anybody camped in any of these National Forests? We are planning to take the TC there in April. Some of the campgrounds will still be closed but there are quite a few open & hopefully they will...

You're in luck. Most of the boondocking in those areas is next to a river and there are tons of them. Almost all of them are just a short walk from a waterfall too. Here's a map of bookdocking in North Carolina. Don't forget SC, TN, GA and VA for additional stellar boondocking.

I am partial to Blue Valley myself. It has big, (very) well spread out campsites that are situated next to a creek with a large waterfall near by.
