was wondering if anyone could recommend nearby (NC/VA/TN) tubing and 
camping locations. i'm hoping to head out the weekend after next for 
some cool times on a river. need a nearby campground.

i found a web site or two about the deep creek (in NC). are there closer 
places (in VA or NC) or other places in that same vicinity which might 
be worth checking out?

thanks in advance.
