two day two night hike around SNP 

Hi guys and gals,

I am planning a trip with my friends around the north part of the SNP and am looking for a little advice.  I was thinking of White Rocks, Halfmoon, Sugar Knob, or Wardensville.  Our situation is why I ask for your advice... We want a trail that has a camping site close to the start/parking area because we will be getting there kinda late on Friday night, camp, then hike on Sat. (~6-8miles) and camp Sat. night.  Then we would like to hike about 3-4 miles back to our car.

We would like a trail that is a 3-4 on difficulty and has a good source of water. 

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

One problem. The areas you speak of are not antwhere near SP but rather on Great North Mt in GWNF.

There is a nice campsite listed on the White Rocks hike next to the stream in the lower section of Racer Camp Hollow. However as MRHyker mentioned, this is the GWNF and not the SNP, so you need to be careful this time of year as it is a favorite place wiith hunters.

Hikingupward.com - thanks for the reply, we camped on Mill Mountain and it was great.  A bit crowded though.

Was there water at Gravel Spring on Mill Mt? I'm leading a group up there Nov. 4th.
