Backcountry Camping in NC/TN?

[JButtress]

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some backcountry camping options for Thanksgiving weekend. I live in Charlotte so would like to stay within 5-6 hours of Charlotte. I have a 2017 Silverado Z71 4x4 with a 2.5 inch leveling kit but don’t want anything too crazy in terms of off roading as I’m still learning plus don’t have the capable tires for that just yet.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Also anyone who would be interested in joining are welcome!

I did some backpacking in Big South Fork. Not sure if there is really any areas there for your truck to traverse. But loved hiking there!

We’ll have to find some routes and plan some trips together!

Where would you like to go east or west ??

Well for Thanksgiving I gave up and booked a campsite at Uwharrie haha. But for the future I’m definitely interested to start getting out there.

I have maps for PNF and Cherokee

I’d prefer west Carolinas over east, but only due to proximity. I have no idea about any hot spots for back country camping in the Carolinas, so m looking for ideas.

Any where off of the blue ridge park way and Boone to Gatlinburg there is a lot of trails through pisgah and nantahala

You could go to Richland rd in Blowing Rock, NC and then camp at Price Lake camp ground. Couple of technical spots. There is also Brown mountain OHV part also near Blowing Rock. There are a couple of camp sites at the begin of entrance. I have camp there but did not do the trail. Stock truck should do fine there from what I have look at on YouTube! I am looking to go somewhere on 12/8? Might have to go to Uwharrie? If nothing else.

I have maps for PNF and Cherokee

Are these just regular topo maps? or something more specific for overlanding? I've been trying to find more maps to utilize. Also thinking about the GAIA App subscription as well

They are maps other members have made and I’ve pieced them together. As far as the Gaia I have a subscription and love it.
