There are a lot more logistics to hiking in to a site.
You are capable to handle all of them, but you will probably have to spend some money on at least some new gear, unless you can borrow some.

There are spigots in the camping area. It's this park.

There's no one to borrow anything off of
REI has a used gear outlet now, but it's still expensive. I think there is a used store near Asheville (where I'm going next week). I was also thinking of renting, if I can find somewhere. I know REI does, but I don't know which locations. I would think I need, at least, a tent and pack and a bear canister (if I need it). Everything else, I think, I can do with what I have.
