I know that was my situation a few years back... was camping at CS#113 (the 1st one along the AT coming out of Fontana). Rangers were warning that upper elevation campsites were dry,and the "pipe" at #113 was dry. But I simply followed the drainage from the pipe for somewhere between 100' and 300' and found a nice flow of water.
