I've only personally camped at Jordan, which was nice, but I've never heard anything bad about any of them. Eno River only has a few camp sites, so that would be nice to try in the off season. Umstead or Eno River are probably closest if you are looking to camp as a place to stay while touring the city.
The camping at Eno is hike-in only. It is about 1 mile from the parking area to the campsites. The Shinleaf area at Falls Lake is also hike-in camping only. This could be a major inconvenience if you arrive with a lot of heavy gear!
