Bill -I found Deep Creek Campground through the Buckeye United Fly Fishers fishing club, and I tent camped there in April and June 2006.
Campground Review
Deep Creek Campground is well-maintained, clean, friendly and reasonable in price. The club has gone to Deep Creek for a number of years, not only camping, but renting the cabins. Deep Creek makes a good location to fish the Nantahala River, the Tuckasegee River in Silva, and the streams in The Great Smokey Mountain National Park.

Rude, crude and down right mean.July 29, 2009By jothecamper
"Well, we just returned from our week long stay at Deep Creek and while the bathrooms were kept neat, the view was beautiful and the sound of the water by the tent sites was soothing the rest left something to be desired. The sites are so small that you feel like you are on top of each other. They also have tent pads in the tent area that must be used, no tents are allowed on the ground. They will, and said it to us, the tent either has to be on the pad or you can pack up and go down the road. So, even if your tent is too big (like ours was), you have to find a way to make it work or you are SOL. Even though we asked over the phone before driving 11 hrs there. They do not care and will not make exceptions. We would have packed up our stuff and left but we had others joining our group later in the week. The new owners are extremely rude and have a horrible bedside manner. We were speaking with other campers who had the same opinion and were treated in the same manner."
