If you want to have a small pool in addition to tubing, try Asheville KOA East. The Swannanoa River runs thru there. Tubing is popular there in summertime!
Deep Creek area has 2 campgrounds...the section of Smokey Mtn. Nat Park and a private campground, Deep Creek Campground & Tube Center. Nat Park does not have hookups. The private campground has full hookups. Have stayed there & tubing is fabulous!! Creekside sites are hard to get but creek access is available. Bryson City is a neat little town. Also has Great Smokey Mtn Railroad train rides which are pricey but make an awesome day activity.
Have camped both places & enjoy both!
