Siler Bald is a terrific place to camp, But the closest water source is at the siler Bald shelter, Half mile south on AT and Half Mile off AT but their is a Blue Blaze you can take from the Bald and it will take you straight to the shelter and Vice Versa.

Wayah and Wesser Bald would also make good campsites. Wayah Bald has a 2-story stone lookout tower and Wesser Bald has a wooden platform lookout. Not really sure if it's legal to camp at either place, however.
