If you're looking for a great place in the NC mountains to go, try the Old Edwards Inn & Spa in Highlands, NC. My wife and I just got back from a weekend there, and it's our new favorite place in that setting, bumping the Grove Park Inn out of top spot.

You won't regret it.

Looks like a beautiful spot, but I don't see any campgrounds nearby. May have to pass
this time.

Based on the website I don't think this is the kind of place you go
to in order to go camping.

That resort looks like it was right in town, be it a small one. You
can go a mile or two in any direction and be out in the woods. The
trick is to find forest service land so you are not stumbling onto
someone's still and being shot ;-)

We usually start right out by looking at the USFS web site when we are
deciding what area we want to visit. For us those tend to be more
attractive than the "parks". They usually have fire roads you can
explore and lots of good places to take a walk. That is true in just
about every state we have visited.
There also seems to be a lot of primitive camping on those lands.
Basically, if you don't bring it, don't expect it to be there.
