It seems like a number of websites and guides are aimed at RVs. Does anyone know of any guides or websites that rate campgrounds (state parks AND privately owned) from the perspective of a tent camper. I don't know if it makes any difference but I am especially interested in the Eastern United States. Thanks.

Where is a good place for tent camping in the Western Carolinas or Eastern Tennessee?

We are looking for a place where we can drive to a campsite, then pitch our tent. So many campsites either require you to backpack in your stuff, or they are just for you to park your RV.
Any ideas... our tent is fairly large.

I've camped on the Blue Ridge parkway, at the Smokies, at Mount Mitchell State Park, NC (you can camp at the top at the state park or there are private campgrounds below it), New River State Park, NC (there are drive in and canoe in sites), Stone Mountain State Park, NC, and I've wanted to camp at South Mountain State Park, NC.
In Hot Springs, NC the private campground is on the French Broad River, on the Appalachian Trail, has a great little town, and has hot tubs!
I've camped in NC in Nantahala National Forest , Linville Gorge, Roan Mountain, TN area, and wanted to camp in Mt Rogers, Joyce Kilmer and Shining Rock areas, but haven't gotten to it yet.
Have Fun!
