OP needs to know that the BRP is closed 8 miles north of Asheville for 20 miles due to a slope failure. The detour around this section is long. They _plan_ to reopen it by Labor Day wknd, but with all the rain we've had and more in the forecast, who knows?
'Western end' of the P'way means Asheville-Waynesville-Maggie Valley-Cherokee area. Just look at a map, the P'way runs diagonally NE to SW to Asheville, then turns mostly west.
The only NPS CG's in that area are Mt Pisgah on the P'way & Smokemont in GSMNP. Neither has any hookups. There are NFS CG's a Lake Powhatan and Davidson River. No sure about the first, the second may have electric on one (?) loop. For commercial CG's, you've got a lot of choices.
