Good morning,

I am hiking my first ever section hike on the AT this coming weekend from Winding Stair Gap to Nantahala Outdoor Center. I have my time off from work, all my gear accounted for, a shuttle arranged from NOC to Winding Stair Gap, but I do not have a place secured to stay the night before my hike. I will be leaving work Thursday afternoon and heading straight to North Carolina and will not be getting into the Bryson City area until approximately 11:00 p.m. I've contemplated sleeping in my car, but would rather find a tent site if at all a possibility. If anyone could make a suggestion as to where I could stay, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!!
