I need to get my boys(12 & 8) into the woods top top some wilderness camping. Preferably near a river, but also nearby amenities if possible. Is there somewhere in the upstate or NC that has beautiful scenery in the woods near a river(if I choose to take the fly rod) so that we can livelier cook, teach them knife skills, hike and so on?
 
Wilson Creek area near Blowing Rock is pretty decent
 
Burrell's Ford area is a great option. Lots of primitive camping on the SC side right on the Chattooga River. It's about 1/4 mile from the parking lot so a little walk but not bad. Other options in that area are closer to vehicles but a little tougher to locate.
Another option is to go to a local State Park and hit the tent area. That way you have facilities nearby but the feel of primitive camping.
Good luck, I just tool my 6 year old on his first true primitive camping trip a few weeks back. he had a blast.
 
I always recommend Joyce Kilmer.
 
Also, Black Balsam.
