Thanks, guys. I'll look into these.
Well, we'll have a carload of crap, I'm sure. And, we'll be taking the big tent, which is enormous and heavy. So, basically, we'll have to drive up to the campsite. Personally, I'd rather go backpacking, but with the wife and kid, and the long stay, it's just not really going to happen. We couldn't pack enough stuff to keep them happy that long.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

How do you define backpacking?

CG's in the park will not have showers, and most don't have electricity. Fontana Dam has showers and is known as "The Hilton" to AT trail hikers. For car camping, just stay at one of the many private owned CG's or a State Park.
Also, check out DeSoto State Park and the Chattanooga area state parks. Similar scenery with a 4 hour shorter drive. Little River Canyon in DeSoto is absolutely beautiful.
