Planning assistance request

[barefoot]

I need help finding a few places to setup camp. I will be taking my kids from North Georgia to Central Pennsylvania to visit family later this summer and would like to sneak some camping in along the way.
I will not need any type of shore power/ water.
I am looking for places...
-along Interstate 26 between Asheville and Interstate 81
-along Interstate 81 near Christiansburg / Blacksburg VA
-along Interstate 81 near Strasburg VA
For this trip my ideal site would be...
Private/ Secluded
Within 30 minutes each way of my route (I 26 & I 81)
River/ creek side

Extra info:
1. I have never driven this route before. All stop locations were chosen to break up the time en route into either 2 or 3 approximately even segments.
2. I will be pulling my rtt equipped trailer with my TJ.

Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

You could do that entire drive in a day. If you're looking to go camping along the way, I'd focus on WNC since it will most likely be cooler and less humid and I think you'll find more to do and more choices (albeit a tad bit longer than 30 mins from the interstate)

If you decide to camp near Harrisonburg Va, I have some recommendations on where to camp, but they will be one hour off the interstate.
