If I remember correctly for CNF you have to be 100 yards away from creeks or streams to camp but your open pretty much anywhere other than that. I would suggest a through trail such as the bald river falls trail or sycamore to start with team up with someone and park a vechile on both ends of the trail. http://www.fs.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsint ... &%20Cabins
